Short-sleeved tops
Keep cool by choosing denim tops with shorter sleeves and button-down fronts for more ventilation. This season, the puff sleeve look seems to be on trend, making the fabric more comfortable on your arms and easier to move around.

Skirts
It’s a no-brainer that skirts are a much more lightweight option compared to a standard pair of denim jeans. The midi trend can deliver much more coverage and ease compared to a classic mini skirt. Just throw on your favorite t-shirt or tank top and you’ll be good to go.

Long-sleeved tops
Long-sleeved tops may not be the first to come to mind when you think about putting together a summer outfit, but that doesn’t mean you need to leave them out of the loop. Instead of denim jackets, longer-sleeved tops may be a great alternative to outerwear on days you need slightly more warmth than usual. Look for tops that are embellished or have a little extra accent to even out the heaviness of the style.
