5 ways to style denim this spring

Yes! Spring has officially started – the days are getting longer, the sun is shining more and that means only one thing: it's time to give your wardrobe a fresh update. And what could be more versatile, timeless and stylish than denim? Correct. Denim is that one material that never goes out of style, moves with you in every season, and offers endless possibilities to express your own style. It is the basis for trendy denim outfits for women, completely in line with the denim trends for this spring.

We are absolutely in love with Olivia & Kate denim. Whether it concerns classic jeans, a playful skirt, or a cool one jumpsuit or a surprisingly colored denim jacket – denim always gives you that perfect mix of comfort, style and confidence. In this blog we share with you our five favorite ways to wear denim this spring. Get inspired and discover how you can rock denim your own way this season.

1. The classic with a twist: jeans with character

We start with a classic – the jeans. But this spring things can be a little different. Classic fits are of course always good (hello mom jeans!), but this season we also see a clear trend towards jeans with that little bit extra: patchwork, two-tone washes, unexpected details such as asymmetrical hems, glitter stones or even embroidered elements.

This is how you style it:
Combine your unique jeans with a basic white one blouse or a minimalist top. This way your denim item remains the shining center of your outfit. Add an oversized blazer for a sophisticated look, and finish it off with chunky loafers or white sneakers. Trust us: you'll immediately feel ready for an afternoon of shopping, a lunch date or a casual working day.

Additional tip: choose a high waist – flattering and super comfortable. Also ideal to combine denim with pastel shades, completely in line with this season's denim spring vibe.

2. The denim skirt: perfect for spring

The denim skirt is back, and how! Where it used to be mainly about the mini, we now also see plenty of midi and maxi denim skirts in stores - and we love them. They are stylish, timeless and can be combined endlessly. Whether you choose cool and edgy or chic and classy, ​​you can't go wrong with a denim skirt this spring.

This is how you style it:
For a casual look, combine a denim mini skirt with an oversized knit and sneakers. Perfect for a relaxing Sunday or a coffee date in the city. Do you want more towards elegant? Then choose a midi skirt with a blouse tucked in at the front and wear sandals with a heel underneath. A learning shoulder bag and a sunglasses complete it completely.

Denim skirts are great for layering – think of one trench coat or airy blazer when it is a bit cooler. Layering with denim is the way to take your style to the next level this spring.

3. Denim on denim: do you dare?

Double denim is back – and how! You may immediately think of the 2000s when you think of denim-on-denim, but trust us: this trend is completely 2025. It's all about the right balance between colors, shapes and styling. And luckily we have the perfect one at Olivia & Kate sets to rock this look effortlessly.

This is how you style it:
For example, go for our dark blue denim set – consisting of flattering high-waisted jeans and a matching blouse with subtle details. Perfect for a powerful, coordinated look that gets you ready for the day in one go. Would you prefer something lighter and airier? Then our light blue denim edit set is your go-to. The soft wash and relaxed fit make this set ideal for sunny spring days and casual coffee dates.

Tip from us: also mix & match the sets! Combine the light blue jacket with the dark jeans or vice versa. Add your own twist with chunky jewelry from our Classic Jewelry Collection, a cheerful scarf in your hair or a striking bag.

4. The denim jacket: timeless, cool and endlessly combinable

Do you have days when your outfit is just missing something? Then a denim jacket is your absolute go-to! This timeless item completes any look in one fell swoop. Or you are now going for a casual vibe or something more chic, a denim jacket is always a good choice – and this spring they are hotter than ever. Combining denim in layers is the trick for a fresh spring look.

This is how you style it:
Wear your denim jacket over a spring dress – perfect for a terrace or a day of shopping. Would you rather go for comfy cool? Then combine it with a basic T-shirt, mom jeans and sneakers. And for slightly cooler days: style your jacket with a hoodie underneath and chunky boots. This way you stay warm and stylish.

We are extra fans of oversized denim jackets, because you can layer them endlessly and they have a relaxed, effortless look. Or opt for a cropped model to accentuate your waist and add a playful touch to your outfit.

A denim jacket is an item that you take out of your closet every season - and this spring is the time to experiment with it!

5. Denim blouse with bows

Do you want a denim look with a girly twist this spring? Say hello to the denim blouse with bows – the perfect combination of cool and sweet. The denim gives your outfit that casual, timeless look, while the bows provide a soft, girly touch. Truly an item that makes your outfit spring-proof in one fell swoop.

This is how you style it:
Wear the denim blouse with bows on light high-waisted jeans for a stylish denim-on-denim look, or combine it with a flowy midi skirt for an elegant and fresh spring outfit. For an extra girly vibe you can choose pastel colors or accessories with soft textures, such as a suede bag or a scrunchie. Also nice: wear it open over a basic top as a jacket on warmer days!

The nice thing about this blouse? She is super versatile and gives every outfit that little bit of extra flair - without having to put in much effort. Win-win!
