Make your “Denim Shorts + a Top” More Interesting

June 6, 2025 No Comments

It’s easy to get stuck in the rut of getting dressed in the morning and reaching for a plain tee with denim shorts everyday. It’s a cute look and I really love it, but sometimes I want a little bit more variety.

Here are 6 different types of tops you can pair and wear with your denim shorts (or jeans!) instead of a plain white tee.

1. A graphic tee

A graphic tee is a cute way to feel comfy and still look a little more elevated in the “denim shorts + a tee” uniform. My favorite graphic tees are from Mountain Moverz (use MARISSA20 for $$ off)!

2. A high neck tank

A high neck tank is such a great alternative to a plain tee. I think it’s so cute with a couple layered necklaces!

3. A blouse

Any little top that is different is always a cute option with denim shorts! I love this babydoll style top and I also have some cute textured tanks that I love to throw on for something a little more interesting.

4. A little white tank (or tee!)

A white top and denim is a classic in my book! I love how they pair together. This tank is SO OLD (from my highschool days) but I’ll link some cute ones that are still available.

5. A button up top

A button up top (cotton or linen especially!) is one of my favorite items to pair with denim shorts. It works great as a layer over a tank or even on its own.

6. A sweater tank

A sweater tank is adds fun texture to a denim shorts outfit. This one comes in lots of colors and o really like the crewneck on it and the side slits.

A Denim Tank Top Styled Four Cute Ways for Warm Weather

June 4, 2025 No Comments

If you can’t tell from my last few posts, I LOVE denim. I have been showing you how I would style a denim dress from Gap, but when I made that order, I also ordered this denim tank top. It’s such a cute little boxy fit (I ordered small petite) and it’s a great basic and a staple piece that goes with a lot of different bottoms. Here are four ways I’m wearing it as we head into summer!

Outfit 1: A Denim Tank + Black Linen Pants

Linen pants was my first thought when I got this tank! I stayed neutral with black ones here, but it’s going to be SO cute with colorful ones as well!

Outfit 2: A Denim Tank + White Maxi Skirt

This look is my FAVORITE. It’s so flowy and easy and comfy. I love adding a crossbody bag to a skirt/dress outfit to make it a little more casual feeling.

Outfit 3: A Denim Tank + Gingham Linen Shorts

The tiny pattern of these gingham shorts looks so cute with the denim top. I added black accessories to bring it all together!

Outfit 4: A Denim Tank + Floral Wide Leg Pants

I think a fun floral print is so cute with denim! This tank is perfect for summer and in the fall you can switch it out for a long sleeve denim button up. These pants are a few years old, so I linked similar ones.
