How to ditch denim with chic summer alternatives

The pandemic has made our stay at homes for ages now. It has almost become impossible to keep calm 24*7 at home and the sweaty heat isn’t making things easier for us.  To deal with this time of year, it is best to stay away from denim and other thick fabrics.  With the coming up of so many natural and sustainable fabrics in the market, the designers are experimenting a lot with different designs and silhouettes that are meant for the hot summer season. So let’s discover some summer denim alternatives that will suit your comfort and style

Utility pants are the coolest work pants

Since the time we all started WFH,  we have hardly worn formal bottoms, giving a boost to utility pants. These are work pants that are made with slighter thicker cotton, this makes them a  better option over denim for hot weather.


All white jumpsuit to belt it up

We all know white color brings calmness. Imagine combining it with a loose jumpsuit. This classic breathable piece also accentuates your figure to give a polished yet chic look.  It could be your everyday outfit that’s full of style and character. You can accessorize it in a great number of ways,  like with a pair of white leather low-top sneakers. For a look that’s super simple but can be manipulated in a ton of different ways, jumpsuits are must-have additions.


Summer maxi dress for  some vibe

Only Green Floral-Print Fit & Flared Dress

Maxi dress comes in wide varieties. It gives you lots of options to choose from depending on your body type. However, it’s best to go for loose flowy dresses with small prints all over. It certainly holds beach vibes and can be casual and easy, or dressed up a bit for a nicer event. It all depends on the accessories, makeup, and how your hair is styled. Use a belt to accentuate your figure or pick dresses that have an elastic waist as shown.

Wide-legged, flowy pants were extremely popular in the 60s and 70s, and they are still rocking the trend. The best part about these pants is that they can be styled in several ways – be it with long kurtas or even tank tops. This versatile piece can be your office wear to ethnic wear if you style it right. One way is to combine plain long slit kurta with vertical lines on the palazzo.


Paperbag shorts for an oversized look

Forever 21 Striped Paperbag Shorts

Probably the most effortless way to live your summer days. Paperbag shorts are the perfect replacement for high-waisted shorts. This pair is created by combining breathable cotton, a  paper-bag high-rise waist with and a drawstring front. An oversized shirt to complete the look by tucking in the draped shirt.


Breathable Loungewear and a bralette

Mango Beige Bralette Top

A crop top or bralette with wide-legged pants is a kickass combination. However, layering with a shrug of similar colours is going to amplify its beauty. Such a look is good for somebody who doesn’t want to show a lot of skin. High waisted palazzo also hides the lower abdomen. It gives an illusion of a great torso and looks very classy.


Co-ord set of Crop top and shorts

H&M Blue Pyajama Top & Shorts Set

Shop here

Such combinations are quite in trend. Light in weight and super trendy. The long sleeve statement crop top with a tie waist looks chic. The matching tie shorts is all you need in your summer wardrobe. The matching co-ord is a more warm-weather-friendly option over full bottoms.


I am sure the options must have given you fewer and fewer reasons to put on a pair of jeans anymore. Maybe you are even thinking to stick with the above alternatives more than your beloved jeans ever did.
