Before you pack for your upcoming beach vacation, take a look at these styles.

      Would you consider wearing denim at the beach? A week ago, my response would have been a firm no. Shorts, perhaps, but jeans? Definitely not. I dislike the sensation of stiff fabric on a scorching day. Senior Editor Anna LaPlaca shared this sentiment—until she came across the Levi's® Linen+ Denim collection. "I typically opt for denim shorts at the beach, but the jeans from this Levi's® collection completely altered my perspective," Anna mentioned. "They're exceptionally lightweight and breathable, making them the perfect (if not the only) jeans I’ll wear in warm weather. Summer jeans? Yes, please!"

      I’ll admit, I was a bit doubtful at first. But one thing we editors can agree on? We trust Levi's®. Just check out the countless articles we've produced about the brand. So when I heard Anna’s enthusiastic review and witnessed how she styled two of the Levi's®️Linen+ Denim pieces, I was fully persuaded to include denim in my packing for my next beach trip. Check out how Anna styled her favorites below.

      "I'm a huge fan of the Levi's® XL Baggy Straight Jeans and knew my first look had to showcase them. The light wash felt perfect for summer, so I leaned into the theme by pairing them with a crochet camp shirt worn open over a simple ribbed white tank top. When opting for relaxed jeans in a beachy setting, it’s essential to incorporate vacation-inspired elements like artisanal textures and airy layers. I completed the outfit with some fun jewelry, including a corded pendant necklace, a stack of resin bangles, and a playful woven bag." — LaPlaca

      "My must-have item from the Levi's® Linen+ Denim collection for summer vacations would undoubtedly be the High Rise Baggy Denim Shorts. Denim shorts are incredibly versatile for any vacation plans, whether styled with a cute top and ballet flats for sightseeing or layered over a swimsuit for relaxing by the water. This outfit pairing is a staple for my vacation wardrobe. For this look, I chose the shorts as my foundation and appreciated the relaxed vibe they provided. I styled them with a simple black bikini, added a poplin shirt on top, and grabbed a raffia tote bag as my beach carryall. Leather flip-flops, a head scarf, and bold earrings completed the ensemble." — LaPlaca
