The biggest wardrobe must-have, not only in summer, but year-round? Jeans. First invented in 1873, they were introduced into womenswear in the ‘30s. By the ‘60s they had become a fashion staple and have remained so ever since.

Since their debut into the fashion conscious world, there has been an incredible increase in the number of colors and styles that are available. There are light, medium and dark washes, and there are classic styles such as skinny, boyfriend and cigarette jeans, as well as the currently very trendy flared jeans. Because of denim’s wide range of styles and focus on casual comfort, they are an absolute must-have for any summer wardrobe.
