Spring is all about rebirth, renewal and revitalization—I love this time of year. The promise of newness is everywhere from blooming flowers to blossoming wardrobes. Styles you forgot in the back of that closet come out to play and it’s like meeting up with a new friend after—well, after 2020, actually. Trends get revived in spring and while there are some trends we are happy to bid farewell to (I’m looking at you, cold-shoulder tops), we are here for these refreshed denim silhouettes.
From distressing to plus-size straight leg cuts, we are seeing fashion embrace more casual comfort. Maybe after a year of working from home or wearing mostly sweatpants, fashion has come to the general consensus that plus-size skinny jeans are not truly as comfortable as we had thought. And at Dia & Co, we are embracing the reemergence of these styles with fresh Meri Skye denim. Here are the curvy jean styles we are loving. Try them yourself—your wardrobe will thank you.
Denim Overalls
Overalls are classic, they span decades of fashion history from the first pairs of Levis to the R&B girl groups of the nineties (TLC, Destiny’s Child—anybody with me?) and back again. And these Meri Skye Natali Denim Overalls are taking us right down memory lane. The heavy stitching, sandblast finish and whiskering add tons of character to what is already a statement piece. The best feature of these overalls? The relaxed fit from the waist through the legs. No pinching, bunching or discomfort to slow you down.
The buttons at the hip are a fun detail adding ease to getting in and out of the style. And in contrast to the crisscross back of the classic overall, this piece of curvy clothing offers ample back coverage—great to wear with a crop top or bralette for a more racy summer outfit.
Style the overalls with sneakers and a crisp plus-size women’s T-shirt like this Laine Graphic Tee. It’s made for celebrating the brighter days ahead at a casual BBQ or a get together in the park. Wondering how to dress up plus-size distressed jean overalls for a more polished night time look? Pair them up with a printed plus-size blouse and pumps. My favorite styling tip for overalls—leave one shoulder unfastened. I wasn’t allowed to do it in the nineties so I’m living out my girlhood dreams in these bad boys!
Carpenter Jeans
Slipping into the Stefani Carpenter Jean is like meeting up with a childhood friend. Suddenly you find yourself wondering why you have been apart this long. The slouchy relaxed fit of these plus-size straight leg jeans is just the kind of stylish comfort that’s made for enjoying a leisurely spring outdoors. The porkchop pocket makes a bold statement and it’s a great feature for accentuating the hips. This style is a go-to for weekend errands or grabbing a bite at a local eatery. or a head-to-toe casually chic look pair them with this relaxed fit twist front tee. This outfit works well with sneakers, flat sandals or a wedged heel.
Great denim styles never truly go out of style, just like spring, they always come back around. Nature is shaking things up and your wardrobe can too.
