Fashion director Shelly Vella shows you how.
If, like me, you’re not a jeans and T-shirt person and prefer something more dressed up with your denim, why not test drive a fashion favourite, the prairie-style blouse? Available in myriad prints and cuts (loose-fit, waisted, balloon-sleeved), this looks as great with blue denim as it does with coloured jeans or Parisian-inspired culottes and is a style that elevates while imbuing a little romance.
How to dress up denim:
Try an off-duty update
Nod to true prairie style by teaming a fitted blouse with wide-cut jeans.
Go bright for the night
Stripes overlaid with florals look fresh, especially with coloured denim.
