Denim: One of the major trends every summer.
Three major trends I spotted for denim this coming summer.
1. soft, more flexible and more streamlined denims
2. ruffles and tiers
3. strapless
anything denim (preferably with a lighter wash) with clean steamlines (Chambray) is big this coming summer. I've scoured some online boutiques to check out the denim trend and found the three above most prominent.
God's Eye Dress by ShopNastyGal ($194)
Denim Lantern Dress by ShopNastyGal
you can see why I'm totally into the whole Chambray thing with this denim trend. It's got a softer feel and looks more polished, like you totally ironed it (okay, you would probably have to in order to get it this neat but i like it), plus they're both strapless. (i like how the second dress has adjustable straps :D)

Louve Skirt - Chambray by MotelRocks
This chambray skirt is as cute as it gets. Its a high waisted little skirt with pleats to give a flared silhouette. There are three small gold buttons for that added motel touch at the waist with hidden zip fastening. THis adorable indie style skirt has two side pockets that give a comfortable easy to wear feel. Wear this skirt with your favourite vest top or as pictured here goes great with the motel penny bodice with bow back feature. Suitable to wear as an evening outfit as the gold buttons added with some bling jewelry have a going out look. Or dress down worn with pumps and a long cardigan. Perfect whatever the occasion.
£35.00ruffles are also big this summer.if you're not a fan of strapless or maybe the whole clean streamlines thing isn't your cup of tea, opt for ruffles. Unless you're not the girly girl type, I'd suppose none of the 3 trends would appeal to you.
Ruffled Jean Mini Skirt by Express
Shorter is sexier. The fully ruffed fit of this denim mini skirt puts a sexy swing in your step. Material: Cotton
$49.50Denim Rara Skirt by Lipsy
£50.00 high waisted is always good. for petite girls, always make sure that your skirts (especially if you're wearing a stiff denim skirt) are always slightly above the knee, NEVER go below the knee if you're short like me or you'll look poufy and stout when wearing tiered or ruffled bottoms.
