Denim will always and forever be the one true love in my wardrobe, however, with a new season upon us, I’m ready to take a detox from my beloved blues and try something fresh to re-inspire my outfits! Whether you opt for something printed or bold, structured or effortless, spring is full of denim alternatives that will quickly spruce up your style game! Just because you swap your jeans out for some new bottoms doesn’t mean you’ll need new tops to pair with them either. You’ll find that your favorite tops, tees and sweaters will still look just as good with your trendy new pants as they did with your favorite denim!

I’ve rounded up a few of the coolest denim alternatives for spring and hope they make you inspired to try something new and trendy this season!

Printed

What better way to add some personality to your spring outfits than with a fun and eye-catching print?! Let your printed pants be the statement piece of your look by keeping the rest of your fit a bit more simple in style.

Cargo

The utility trend is taking over the fashion world by storm this season and we are starting to see combat style pants pop up everywhere. Khaki has never looked more chic!

Linen

Linen is a favorite of spring and summer styles because of how breathable and comfortable it is, even when the temperatures are at a high! Opt for a high-waisted pair that flatters your waistline and tie your look together with a crop top for the ultimate spring outfit!

Tapered

Whether you wear them to the office or out to dinner on the town, tapered pants are a a sophisticated and totally chic alternative to jeans for spring.

Wide Leg

Keep things easy and breezy this spring with a pair of wide-leg pants in a vibrant hue! Add a pair of sleek ankle strap heels to balance out your silhouette and you’ll be set to soak up some sunshine in style!

This season, swap out your track pants and wear cargo pants instead. With this utilitarian piece, you can never go wrong with neutral-colored clothing. Throw on a black, white or nude-colored top and you’re good to go!

But if you’re looking to get bonus fashionista points, look no further. Below, we share six looks for styling your cargo pants!

For those of you who have been indulging in co-ord outfits, dip into the trend with a cargo set!

Keep the athleisure vibes going strong by styling your camo cargo pants with a sports bra or bralette.

When it comes to styling colorful pieces with your cargo pants, opt for muted colors like navy or forest green.

For a more relaxed look during fall, throw on a chunky sweater over a pair of cargo pants.

Cargo pants aren’t just for daytime! Wear them with a statement-making crop top for a fashion-forward going-out look.

Step out of your comfort zone with an all-over cargo piece like this overall.

We can all agree that part of the official uniform for summer is a great pair of shorts. Classic styles like denim cut-offs and high-waist linen shorts were made for hot summer days.
