Denim is the heartbeat of my wardrobe. It doesn’t matter what’s trending—quiet luxury, coastal cowgirl, or Y2K throwbacks—I’ll always find a way to work in a great pair of jeans. The beauty of denim lies in its versatility: it can be elevated with a silk blouse and heels or thrown on with sneakers and a tee when you’re racing out the door. It’s not just a staple; it’s the backbone of real-life style.
This spring, my denim radar is locked on Bloomingdale’s. Their updated Denim Guide is essentially a curated playground for denim lovers like me. Whether you’re after timeless wide-leg silhouettes, those TikTok-famous sweatpant jeans, or a new pair of shorts that screams summer ease, this guide has it all.
