Summer 2025 is calling so building out your denim essentials will have you ready to slay this Summer. Our design team have tagged these three stylish, versatile pieces as the must haves. Perfect for Aussie summers and our cooler evenings, these picks will anchor your wardrobe with fresh sophistication.
1. Ecru Jeans – The Fresh Spring Colourway
Ecru jeans, often called cream, ivory, or "dirty‑white", are poised to be the neutral of the season. Vogue confirms that skin‑cleansing off‑whites are trending:
“In ecru, ivory, or cream… casual‑cool” is a key summer aesthetic according to Vogue. This soft neutral pairs effortlessly with everything: think linen, pastels, bold accessories. Olivia Logan notes ecru’s versatility across seasons and styles.
Styling tip: Choose straight-leg or slim-wide ecru jeans. Work beautifully with breezy blouses and linen tops. Great for weekend brunches or styling up for summer evenings.
2. Matching Ecru Shacket
The shacket, a hybrid of shirt and jacket, is essential for cooler nights or breezy outdoor events. Perfect worn together with ecru jeans for a fresh take on double denim. But also versatile when layered over linen shorts or summer dresses. This one is an essential.
Why it works:
- Offers a tonal, polished look
-
Provides lightweight layering for fluctuating summer temps (perfect for coastal breezes!)
- Vogue experts endorse denim-on-denim tint: ecru shacket + jeans creates serene, elevated harmony. View the Vogue Shacket guide here.
This style is a versatile staple ideal for early-morning coffee runs, evening walks by the beach, or laid-back parties. Check out Nordstrom’s styling tips here.
