How to Accessorize a Studded Denim Shirt

The word "denim" was once used to denote material for working clothes, whereas "jean" material was dressier.

Denim shirts have long been wardrobe staples due to their versatility and comfort. Incorporating denim into your clothing scheme adds an element of casual fun. Adding metal studs to a denim shirt is a way to lend flair and pizzazz to your denim. If you have a studded denim shirt, you will want to wear accessories that will complement the shirt but not compete with the flashiness of the studs.

Things You'll Need

• Boots
• Scarf
• Earrings
• Bracelet
• Belt

Instructions

1. Pair a studded denim shirt with a small eye-catching accent, such as a thin leopard print scarf.

2. Wear earrings that are the same color as the studs. Avoid earrings that are big and flashy, as they may clash with the studs.

3. Continue the theme of the studs by wearing a bracelet of the same material as the studs.

4. Tuck in your shirt and pair it with a wide, brown leather belt.

5. Add a pair of cowboy boots to finish your glamorous Western look.
