Denim Dresses | Spring 2013

We love that this l.Madeline denim shirtdress ($79) has the look and feel of a sophisticated trench coat.

3.1 Phillip Lim's denim patchwork dress ($495) is a totally funky twist on the trend and would look amazing with a pair of tan sandals.

We adore the simplicity of this Won Hundred denim dress ($172). The thin cord tie is a genius finish.

This Christopher Kane x J Brand collarless denim dress ($380) is the product of an amazing collaboration. We love everything from the color to the buttons to the mock collar.

This RED Valentino denim dress ($495) features the most adorable ruffle sleeves, which set it apart from the rest of our picks.

Wear French Connection's Phillipa denim dress ($45, originally $138) with sandals now, then with tights and booties come Fall.

This Proenza Schouler two-pocket shirtdress ($695) is one of the edgiest we've seen — we dig the contrast between the blue and black.

The gold buttons and strategic stitching on this Mango denim shirtdress ($70) give it a cool Western feel. Be sure to balance those details out with more modern touches.

Madewell's denim shift dress ($110) is a simple canvas just dying to be added to. We're thinking a printed scarf, playful printed loafers, and loads of jewels.

If you prefer something lighter, score this Thakoon vested denim dress ($490).

Tsumori Chisato's denim trapeze dress ($598) gives off a bohemian vibe. All you need is some strappy sandals and beaded bracelets to complete the look.

This Sea denim sleeveless dress ($391) has fresh white contrast details we can't get enough of.

For an off-kilter feel, add this Free People vintage denim moto zip dress ($228) to your mix.

Alice + Olivia's pleated denim dress ($368) is another way to get chic with denim. Wear it to work with a blazer and pumps and at a party with platforms and baubles.
