A denim dress is one of those classic wardrobe staples that never seems to go out of style -- and there's good reason for that. It's one of the most versatile pieces that you can have in your closet because you can dress it up or down depending on the occasion. The key to wearing a denim dress stylishly is choosing the right style and color, but you must also find the right complementary pieces and accessories to pair with it. Layering over and under your denim dress, choosing accent colors to wear with it, and finding ways to create a striking contrast with it can make sure that you look chic and on point every time you slip the dress on.

About This Article
A denim dress is a wardrobe staple that can be accessorized to suit almost any occasion. If your dress is dark denim, try pairing it with bright red, blue, or yellow accessories, such as scarves, belts, or shoes. For a more subdued appearance, choose accessories in pastel colors, like pink or lemon. Denim acts as a neutral, so you can also pair your dress with prints, like animal or floral prints. You can give your dress a stylish twist by layering your outfit with a cardigan or a T-shirt. Alternatively, create an interesting contrast to the sturdy denim material by wearing delicate accessories, like a satin belt. For a more formal outfit, pair your denim dress with a blazer.
