Just because hot days are around the corner doesn’t mean you have to give up your favorite denim styles.  We’ve taken our best selling denim fits and created cooler versions for you to rock and roll in wherever your summer takes you! Finding the perfect denim is a quest we have all experienced. Hopefully your search can stop at DownEast – see a breakdown of styles featured in our spring and summer catalogs below:

Heart Throb Shorts & Crop Jeans

The classic look of a trouser pant is timeless. We’ve used the latest denim treatments and applied them to this timeless classic style. The fabric has a slight stretch, which makes the fit tough to beat. There is distressing detail along the pocket edges and hem to give a more modern feel. The back features flattering welt pockets. The slight flared hem will balance fuller hip and thigh shapes creating a super slimming silhouette.  Pair these styles with just about any top. If the top is more of a full or tunic style, make sure to add a belt to the narrowest point on your waistline. The Heart Throb Short comes in a slightly lighter wash than the crop length. Either way you will not be disappointed with these additions to your vaca wardrobe!

Rock Star Shorts

It is very clear you guys are big fans of pocket detail and bling! Our Rock Star Jeans are the #1 selling jean in the entire line. SO-we hear you! Please welcome the Rock Star Short to the DownEast Denim line. It features everything you love about your Rock Star Jeans at the perfect length for summer. The decorative cuff has NO stabilizing stitch so you can adjust the cuff to the most flattering height for your gorgeous gams.  You will enjoy the ultra flattering flap embroidered back pocket and diamond rivets and shank while staying as cool as a cucumber. Since this style is more fitted through the hip and thigh, it is ideal to wear with trendy blousy, banded tops. Remember the goal is to always make your legs longer, so even though these are shorts, try wearing a heeled sandal or espadrille.  Go ahead and take the stage, you Rock Star you.

Miss Slim Skinny Crop Jeans

Yet another great-selling style, the Miss Slim Skinny Crop is the same great fit as our Miss Slim Skinny Jean.  The white embroidery detail on the inside leg seam lengthens legs and looks amazing. These supafly skinny’s are the skinny on trendy summer denim. Pair this number with anything from dressy tops with heels to your favorite tees and sneaks. Remember that crop and capri length bottoms should never hit your calf at the widest point.  Make sure the length is above or below that widest point for the most flattering leg lines. The great thing about the Miss Slim Skinny Crop jeans is that you can cuff and roll to your leg line.  Go ahead-make some noise for the Miss Skinny Crop Jean.

True Love Boyfriend Jean

I could not write this blog post about trendy summer denim styles without mentioning my two personal favorite denim styles in the entire line. The True Love Boyfriend jean is the modern capri and trendy style that is staying consistent season after season. This is a great starter jean for anyone that loves this look. It is so fun to wear a more masculine style jean paired with super feminine fabrics and accessories. It is the unexpected mix of distressed treatments and perfect slouchiness with a more tailored dressy top that will bring your style to a whole new level of love. Wear this style cuffed and rolled with a heel of any type.  Don’t forget the belt.  Be creative – try mixing different tops and blazers or cardigans but keep the first layer fitted to keep your body proportions in check with the relaxed fit jean. I LOVE THESE JEANS. Stop hesitating and try this look.

Must Have Matchstick Jean

If you insist you cannot wear skinny or straight leg jeans, I have news for you, you can. Start with the Must Have Matchstick jeans. I promise they do not disappoint. The dark enzyme wash and flattering cut of these jeans make your legs look a mile long. The fabric has the perfect amount of stretch for fit and comfort.  They are as versatile as a legging.  You can wear with chiffon blousy tops and longer summer print tunics belted at the waist or more basic fitted tops, too. I love wearing mine with a fitted tank and boyfriend blazer. Heels are a must. These are truly a Must-Have for summer. Get them before they are gone.

The demand for DownEast Denim is growing beyond our expectations, which means more styles and more of what you love! So, keep us posted with any and all feedback. We are listening. I am developing four new styles for August just in time for back to school.
