DARK WASH:

Dark wash denim is great for dressing up.  The Democracy Emerson in Rinse Wash is perfect for a night out or "business casual."  The Kasil Democracy style is a trouser cut so they are easy to dress up with a great top or even an adorable blazer like Cameron Diaz has on here.

MEDIUM WASH:

A medium blue jean is great for everyday use.  This is the color that you live in because it goes with literally everything.  For a great medium blue jean try the Democracy Aubrey in Baltic Blue.  These jeans have a flattering and comfortable fit with a soft, lightweight denim that is always comfortable!

LIGHT WASH:

CLICK HERE TO BUY THE TUNIC!

A really light wash is a great look for summer.  Tori Spelling took her light wash jeans up a notch with a bright fuchsia dress.  A dress over jeans makes a fun and different layering effect.  We also love the contrasting colors between the light denim and the bold fuchsia.  You can get a similar look by pairing the Democracy Fiji jeans with the Farron Elizabeth Cowl Mini.   

SKINNY JEANS:

We're always talking about taking an outfit from day to night so we thought it was about time that we show you an example...

This is an outfit that easily goes from day to night.  The dress is lightweight and easy to throw on.  You can change the look of this dress by changing your shoes or accessories.  Here we've paired this dress with a blazer so that you can go to work and then take off the blazer for a fun night out.  You could also wear the dress out to brunch on the weekend with a pair of sandals! 

Here's how you can put this entire look together at Badjoan.com for a fraction of what you would pay elsewhere... 

Dress = Postella Poppy Dress
Blazer = Rails Long Blazer

When you think of tie dye you often think of a casual, daytime look.  But we love how Ellen Page took it up a notch with a grey marbled tie dye dress.  The dark color and subtle marbling instead of traditional tie dye give this look a sophisticated edge.  You can get a similar look right now on Badjoan.com with a couple of choices from the Lizzie Parker Runway Collection.  Go for the full dress look with the Slouchy Tank Dress which features a drop waist with drawstring so you can adjust this look to fit your body type!  Or keep it simple with the Dual Layer Twist Tunic; a soft and flattering extra long t-shirt that can be ruched and moved around to compliment your figure!

get that look: GRAPHIC T AND BLAZER

A simple t-shirt and blazer is a flattering, versatile outfit that can be appropriate for so many occassions.  Pair them with a cute skirt and heels and you're ready for a nighttime event.  Pair them with a pair of jeans and flats and you're ready for the movies.  Pair them with dress pants and your ready for work.  And so on...
