Hi Rise Denim X «American Eagle Blog

Last month, we told you that 2015 is the year of denim. It’s everywhere — from jackets to skirts to button down shirts, and denim doesn’t only mean blue anymore. Some of our favorite denim pieces this season are grey, black and colored jeans. Since we can’t imagine a day without denim, we’ve pulled looks from the #AEOSTYLE stream to show you how to wear denim every. single. day. by adding a fun “plus one” (or two!) to each denim piece. Check out all of our denim plus one looks below.
