Be cool in denim! FEMAIL picks out the best pieces from this season's biggest trend for effortless style

  • Emily Monckton picked out denim items for embracing the seasonal trend 
  • She was inspired by Christina Ricci wearing a denim dress from Carolina Herrera
  • British style expert said the High Street is spilling over with lightweight designs

Gone are the days of sweltering in thick jeans — denim has had a summer makeover. The High Street is spilling over with lightweight, stylish designs that won’t leave you scorching in a heatwave. And it’s not only for the daytime. Heading to a dinner party? Try glamming up a Whistles jumpsuit with statement earrings. Going for a more relaxed look? Double denim has never been more current. Team a shirt by Mango with boyfriend jeans by Reiss.

This season, take inspiration from Chanel’s latest catwalk: there’s no such thing as too much denim.
