When it comes to spring style staples, denim always tops the list. It's a tried-and-true fashion fave that can anchor any outfit. The only trick (and, in our opinion, the fun part) is figuring out new ways to wear it. That's why we tapped NYC-based style blogger Audree Kate Lopez of Simply Audree Kate to offer readers some serious style inspo for spring denim looks.

Partnered with DENIZEN jeans, we asked Lopez, who describes her style as "your grandmother's vintage floral couch meets a rock concert," to put her personal spin on three denim-centered outfits. Whether your own aesthetic leans more feminine, more edgy, or you just love "an overdose of vintage pieces," as Lopez puts it, there's plenty of denim inspiration to go around and put a little spring back in your style step.

On weekends, you'll catch Lopez hanging with friends, snapping pics for her blog Simply Audree Kate, and running the occasional errand — all in her typical Saturday uniform of jeans, a white tee, faux leather jacket, and sneakers. "I’m obsessed with the stretch of these jeans because they literally feel like pajamas," she says. "And who doesn’t want that for a lazy Saturday?"

"I’m always running around Manhattan to photo shoots, meetings, press events, and coffee dates," says Lopez, "so having a comfortable yet professional wardrobe is a must." She opts for a versatile denim look on these days, keeping her DENIZEN jeans polished with a double cuff and a cross tucked blouse to show off the waist.

"I love the idea of bringing a lighter denim wash to a spring night look to soften up the outfit and keep things light and playful," says Lopez, who found the medium wash DENIZEN jeans accomplished this easily. Lopez finished the look with a no-fuss cuff to show off her heels, a floral blouse, and a pair of shimmery earrings.
