DENIM EVERY DAY

MONDAY SEEK A LITTLE ROMANCE • Why not start the week with your dreamiest denim? Float that cropped straight-leg pair back to the top of your jeans stack, and wear on repeat with florals and plenty of pink.

TUESDAY PLAY WITH SHAPES • To properly pile on the boxy layers (yes, there’s a formula), you’ll need a couple sleek moments in the mix, like a fitted sweater and pointy shoes.

WEDNESDAY HEAD WEST • Mooooove over, leopard: We can’t corral our love for all things cow and bandana print. Saddle up in pale pink and dark denim before getting thee to the nearest barn raising (or, you know, sixth period).

THURSDAY FIND YOUR GROOVE • Bootcuts are back, bb, and we’re feeling great about it. The best way to make them cool, not costumey? Keep the flare itself fairly subtle, then lean into modern hues (think: fresh pastels over ’70s earth tones).

FRIDAY WALK ON THE EDGE • Inky shortalls and graphic striped sweaters harken back to the glory days of the ’90s. Get through your grunge phase with chunky-soled shoes and tough-chic tulle.

SATURDAY FIND THE BRIGHT SIDE • Greet the weekend in the street style faves that make up most of your perma-moodboard: neons, plaids, patchwork and bitty blooms. When everything’s this cute, permission granted to layer with abandon.

SUNDAY GET IN NEUTRAL TERRITORY • Wrap up the week in a monochrome fit that helps channel that calm Sunday energy. Keep things chill in relaxed shapes and fuzzy textures—and trust that the magic happens when you master the mix.
