With A Leopard Jacket And Kitten Heels

Leopard is the print of the season, and lucky for us, it goes oh so well with denim. We love the addition of a low-heeled sandal, but this dress-coat combination would also look great with a simple ballet flat (or even a crisp white sneaker).

With A Striped Sweater And Opaque Tights

This overalls dress is yet another reason you should invest in a good striped sweater already. In addition to looking cool with regular jeans, it takes a denim dress to the next level.

Get the look: Polo Ralph Lauren dress ($298); BP. jacket ($69); Kenneth Cole boots ($199)

Slightly more dressed-up than the previous looks, this ensemble proves that denim dresses aren’t just for daytime.

With A Denim Jacket And Mules

As does this outfit, which proves that denim-on-denim is always a good idea. Also of note: A belt is another great way to a.) cinch your waist to an ultra-flattering effect and b.) fancy up an all-jean look.

Get the look: Paige dress ($219); Levi's jacket ($168); Chinese Laundry mules ($70)
