I’m a Fashion Editor—30 Lightweight Denim Essentials from Nordstrom That I Adore This Summer
This summer, I'm all about denim. I've been alternating between my favorite low-rise capris, denim miniskirt, and well-loved baggy jeans. The key to staying stylish and comfortable in this summer heat is to choose lightweight denim pieces. I've gathered some of the prettiest lightweight denim items from Nordstrom—my preferred place for denim shopping—for you to check out. Each piece is ready for summer and completely on-trend.
In this collection of lightweight denim and chambray treasures, I've included some drawstring options, as that trend is popular on my social media right now. The tie-waist styles from 1822 Denim and Paige offer a relaxed, baggy fit I adore, minus the bulkiness of traditional denim. From casual jeans to breezy shorts, smocked sets, and airy dresses, I've covered all the denim bases.
You can mix and match these lightweight denim styles with your summer essentials or go for the full Canadian tuxedo. Trust me—these are denim items you'll want to wear all summer long.
