A Go-To Spring Outfit Formula: Linen Pants + Denim Button-Up (12 Outfits)

May 7, 2025 No Comments

When spring hits, I’m all about easy outfit formulas that feel as good as they look.

One combo I keep reaching for? Linen pants paired with a classic denim button-up. It’s simple, comfy, and versatile—the textures balance each other out perfectly: linen keeps things light and airy, while the denim adds just enough structure.

Take a look at 12 different outfits I’ve worn using this formula:

1. Green Linen Pants + Graphic Tee + Denim Shirt

A casual-cool vibe with olive green linen pants and a vintage-inspired tee under the denim shirt. Earthy and easygoing!

2. Pink Linen Pants + Sweater Tank + Denim Shirt

I love the warm tone of these pink pants—it pops beautifully against the soft blue denim. Finished with a clean white sweater tank (it adds great texture!) and comfy earth toned sandals.

3. Rust Linen Pants + Grey Tank + Denim Shirt

A slightly moodier take with a dark grey tank for contrast. The rust-colored pants add warmth, while the denim shirt keeps it structured yet relaxed.

Black Linen Pants + Crossbody + Denim Shirt

Neutrals for the win! The black pants ground the look, and the tan crossbody is functional and cute.

5. Terracotta Linen Pants + Crossbody + Denim Shirt

Similar to look #2 but with a white tank instead of grey, and a green crossbody bag for a bit of color contrast—an easy way to shake things up while keeping the core formula.

6. Ochre Linen Pants + Graphic Tee + Denim Shirt

This mustardy ochre shade is one of my favorite colors! I paired it with a fun graphic tee and sandals for a fun yet laid-back look.

7. Black and White Gingham Pants + White Tank + Denim Shirt

A little twist here—these aren’t solid linen pants, but the gingham print keeps it fun and springy. The denim shirt ties it all together. The pop of color in the bag makes it all the more interesting!

8. Ochre Linen Pants + Graphic Tee + Denim Shirt

A repeat of the above ochre pants, styled super casually again with different sandals (birks instead of tevas) and a graphic tee.

9. Black Linen Pants + Brown Sweater Tank + Denim Shirt

Back to black, but I added in a warmer brown sweater tank this time. I brought it all together with brown Birkenstock sandals and a cute crochet bag.

10. Wide Leg Green Linen Pants + Patterned Tote + Denim Shirt

These soft green pants feel extra springy! I paired the wide leg linen pants with a fun textured tank, leather sandals, a crochet tote bag with a fun floral pattern, and a colorful beaded necklace. Totally springy and fun!

11. Black Linen Pants + Graphic Tee + Denim Shirt

If you haven’t figured it out by now, a graphic tee is a PERFECT item to pair with a denim shirt and linen pants. This graphic tee goes so well with these black linen pants. I paired it with my Birkenstock clogs and cozy socks for a cooler spring day.

12. Bright Green Linen Pants + Sandals + Denim Shirt

Closing it out with a bright green pant that screams spring. Kept everything else simple and added some layered necklaces for just a little bit more fun!

This formula is proof that you don’t need a complicated wardrobe to feel cute every day. Mixing and matching linen pants in different colors with a trusty denim shirt (and a tank or tee underneath!) gives you endless options to fit your mood and the season. Bonus: it’s comfy enough to live in all spring long!

10 Cute Ways to Wear a Scarf

May 6, 2025 No Comments

Scarves are one of my favorite accessories and I generally wear them around my neck, but I wanted to share a few more ways to use them as an accessory. I feel like a scarf can totally elevate a look and give some fun pattern, color or print!

Here are 10 cute ways to wear a scarf that’ll instantly level up your everyday looks!

1. Classic Neck Wrap – Fold your scarf into a triangle and loosely tie it around your neck for a casual, effortless vibe.

2. Bandana Style – Tie it closer to your neck with the point of the triangle facing forward for a chic, western-inspired look ( I sometimes like to tie the knot in the front for this look).

3. Parisian Style – Roll the scarf up, tie it close to your neck and move the knot to the side. This gives Parisian vibes and looks very chic!

4. Draped Necklace – Roll the scarf up, loop it once around your neck, tie a knot and then let the ends hang loose, mimicking the look of a long necklace.

5. Belt Accent – Thread the scarf through your belt loops and tie it at the side or front for a fun pop of pattern. This is especially cute on a hot day when you may not want to wear a neck scarf, but you want to add some fun to your look!

6. Bag Accessory – Tie it around the strap or handle of your handbag to add color and texture to your outfit. This is a fun one for an otherwise neutral outfit!

7. Hair Tie – Tie the scarf around a ponytail, bun, or into a braid for an instantly feminine, romantic touch.

8. Headband – Wrap the scarf around your head and tie it at the nape of your neck or on top for a boho-inspired look.

9. Pirate-Style – wrap the headband around your head (like a kerchief) and then tie it in a knot! This is a cute way to protect your hair from the sun or get one more day out of dirty hair.

10. Waist Wrap – Wear it as a sarong-style wrap around your hips for a playful, vacation-ready outfit twist. This is one I would probably only wear with a bathing suit, but I have seen people wearing it with jeans!

Let me know if you wear your scarves any of these ways or if there’s any that I missed! I’m always looking for new ways to wear my favorite accessory 🥰
