Ray Lowe & Camryn Cohen
For all of the comfort and ease denim offers, we'll be the first to admit that jean dresses can feel pretty blah. A quick shopping search shows the same mini skirt apron style with little to no variation. Thankfully, designers are mastering the art of retooling the fabric and turning denim into a fashionable, do-it-all textile.
If you live for a poplin, off-the-shoulder maxi dress, you can now find one made out of light washed denim (seriously, see slide 11); and if a lace-up, breezy dress is more your style, Sea's figured out just how to bend a yard of denim to fit its will.
Ahead, 16 dresses that prove just how versatile and cool the utilitarian material can be this season. So give your go-to cutoffs a breather in favor of these jeanius new takes on the denim dress.
