As a New Yorker that’s lived in the city for decades, Elaine Davis (the digital creator behind @squarepearls) has perfectly mastered a style that’s chic and easy for that busy life on the go. One of the effortless fashion categories that she considers a staple to complete her most-loved outfits? Denim

“Denim is currently having a moment in the fashion world, but for me denim has always been the moment. It’s the glue that holds my wardrobe together. I honestly don’t know what I’d do without it. Every season I reach for my classic denim pieces, and the summer months are my favorite time to add new fun pieces to my wardrobe,” Davis told us.

Below you’ll uncover the denim trends Davis thinks are the coolest this season and is wearing on repeat. You’ll also notice visual inspiration and shopping recommendations if you want to add one of the looks to your own wardrobe.
