Denim is always a good idea. Moreover in summer, when you can rock lighter shades or prints. So to create an awesome silhouette based on denim clothes, start by selecting the shade. Then compose the look. Complete it with accessories in complementary colors.
For this post, I created a look based on the advice above. In my mind, when I think denim, I picture a jacket. Like I love oversize ones, I picked this jacket from Études Studio. It is the starting point of this silhouette. Then I selected striped pants of same shade of blue. To disrupted the blue of the jacket and the trousers, I added coral espadrilles. Finally, I choose a coral ring and light tortoiseshell sunglasses.

If this style inspires you and you want to reproduce it or part of it, here are some tricks and tips.
Watch out for the tones: When you decide to create a colorful look, there are some basic rules to apply. First, pick three shades max - unless you want to look like a lunatic stuck in the 70s! Secondly, make sure they are complementary. For example, blue is the complementary color of orange. As coral is a shade of orange, this is the reason why I choose elements made of it to contrast with the blue jacket and trousers. The colors composing your silhouette should always be harmonious!
Play with textures: As always, details lie in the small things. Texture is a huge part of what make a basic look amazing. For example, the jacket I wore has colorful patches, giving more dimension to it. I also picked striped pants, which are ripped. The espadrilles have a snake-inspired print. Basically, the textures give more information, more depth to the silhouette.
What about the makeup?: For this look, I recommend you go for a natural shades. The important point is to work on you stain. It needs to be flawless. Concerning the lips, I recommend to go for light orange or pink shade. The idea is to look natural with just a light touch of color to create a "heathy glow" effect. For the eyes, choose nude eyeshadows. Finish the beauty look, by applying a dark volumizing mascara.
