Meredith Melling nearly broke the Internet when she wore the outfit above back in 2015, and the image has been re-circulating the past week or two since Melling (at the time the photo was taken, an editor at Vogue; now the founder of one of my favorite brands, La Ligne) has launched a similar style of denim herself. The copy on the site reads: “Based on a vintage style co-founder Meredith Melling was snapped in for a street style blog that went viral. We recreated the silhouette, added a touch of stretch and made sure they were Meredith Melling approved. Pair back to one of our denim shirts to replicate Mer’s timeless look.” (Note that you can get 10% off sitewide with code MAGPIE10.)
Proof positive that denim on denim just never goes out, but I have to say I’ve seen a lot of fantastic denim pieces in fresh silhouettes and applications this season that bear noting. I’m dialed in on the denim ballet flats from A. Soliani below. With jeans, with ecru pants or skirt, with a white dress, with black kick flares…! A new neutral. I also cannot wait to wear my Aligne denim dress as the weather thaws (20% off with code JEN-20). If the style is a bit to edgy for you, try this minimalist Banana instead.
Below, a few additional denim favorites available right now.

P.P.S. How do you start your day?
P.P.P.S. First hints of spring.
Hi, I love the Aligne Denim dress. What size did you buy? I am normally a small, sometimes XS in bigger dresses. Would the 6 work or is it tight in the bodice?
Hi Marsha! The dress is great! I find this brand runs generally long / tall / big, and this dress is particularly loose. I think you could do the 6.
