Denim is a major trend in 2024, but I’m not just talking about denim jackets and straight-leg or skinny jeans. A denim dress is the perfect wardrobe item to wear from spring through summer. This Wrangler denim dress is flattering on everyone.

Of course, we need to include the iconic denim jacket as a part of your spring capsule wardrobe. This season, get this Levi’s cropped trucker denim jacket or one with a peplum waist (since peplum is en vogue this season).

I love a white shirt dress in any spring capsule wardrobe. No matter your personal style, a white shirt dress is versatile and chic. Wear it with ballet flats for sling-back heels. The white shirtdress from The Drop on Amazon is perfection!

Add a leather jacket for a warm layer on cooler spring days. A white shirtdress is a great warm-weather staple that can transition nicely to your summer capsule wardrobe.
