Call us optimists, but we're already dreaming of 'light jacket' season. You know, the season between spring and summer, when all you need to grab is a lightweight jacket to drape over your shoulders for that cool evening breeze. And when it comes to mid-season dressing, one jacket reigns supreme. It is, in fact, the humble denim jacket.
Denim jackets are a staple piece year-round but they're even more helpful during transitional periods. They go with literally everything, and (bar a black tie event) there's no occasion where denim jackets aren't suitable. You can pair them with dresses, leggings, and - for the most powerful combo of all - on top of more denim. One brand, in particular is championing the denim trend this year. Enter: La Redoute.
The French retailer, best known for its chic interiors and gorgeous bedding, is also a one-stop shop for all your outerwear needs. La Redoute's selection of clothing is carefully curated, with chic, timeless pieces. But the brand's collection of denim, in particular, is one to reckon with.
From oversized denim shirts to denim dresses, La Redoute stocks some of the most iconic brands including Levi's, Wrangler and Calvin Klein Jeans, as well as its very own La Redoute Collection pieces. So, if you're keen to nail the denim trend this year, keep scrolling for the very best denim pieces of the season, plus how to style them.
Double Denim
A denim shirt or jacket, paired with a pair of jeans will always be our favourite way to style denim. We recommend pairing an oversized shirt with slightly tailored jeans for a more put-together look, or, doubling down with an oversized shirt and baggy jeans for an edgier ensemble.

Denim Skirts
The denim skirt has made a huge comeback in recent years - and we're not mad at it. Go full Woodstock circa 1970s by pairing your favourite denim jacket with a midi skirt, styled with some cowboy boots for the full effect. If you're less about the midi opt for the classic mini instead.

Denim and dresses
For a staple spring/summer outfit, pair your favourite denim jacket with a maxi or mini dress. For this look, we recommend opting for a cropped denim jacket to shine light on the main character (the dress). The perfect BBQ attire, if you ask us.
