10 ways to wear denim in a heatwave — from maxi dresses to jorts, here's how to look and stay cool
Denim is a staple in a majority of our wardrobes. However, jeans are probably the last thing you think of wearing when the temperature is skyrocketing. Tight-fitting, heavyweight and complete with plenty of buttons and zips, they aren't exactly a summer-friendly item. However, there are plenty of different ways to wear denim outside of a traditional jean. While staying cool is obvs top of the agenda, summer is also a time to experiment with your style and try something new. As always, we're here to offer up plenty of outfit inspo, combined with practical tips. Let's get into it. Maxi dresses were made for summer, but a denim fabric gives the longer silhouette an unexpected twist. Opt for a lightweight, 100% cotton denim where possible to ensure you don't get too hot. We love this wearer's cut-out Zimmermann style — another way to add some breathability. Utility workwear is a vibe — and featured heavily throughout Resort 2026 collections, including Tory Burch, Stella McCartney and Courrèges. A cargo denim jumpsuit is a ready-made outfit. Choose a style with short sleeves and a baggy fit to make sure you stay cool and comfy. You could even go for a romper with shorter cut legs for ultra-hot days; Wrangler currently has some excellent options. Midi skirts are everywhere right now — they're easier to navigate than a maxi (no tripping over) and more office appropriate than a mini. This wearer has leaned into the 90's aesthetic in a major way with her scarf belt and bandana. Waistcoats worn as tops are another way to stay cool and look stylish. Because of the structured fit, you can also forgo wearing a bra — less layers to sweat through! The balance of this wearer's outfit, with the Agolde denim and silk slip skirt, is *chef's kiss*. Short shorts are the must-have festival wardrobe item of the summer. While you can go classic with a blue frayed pair, why not mix it up a bit, like this wearer in her pastel green Ganni co-ord. Pair with knee-high boots and you're Glasto ready. The humble denim jacket really comes into its own in summer. A light or bleached wash is perfect for this time of year, and adds an extra dimension to an outfit without adding too much warmth. Throw over your shoulders with any outfit. Bubble skirts continue to trend, and while they're typically seen in a poplin or similar lightweight fabric, who's to say denim can't get in on the action? Take this wearer's light wash, mini style, worn with a loose-fitting T-shirt and trainers. It's sleeveless season, and this is probably one of the best ways to wear denim in the heat. The high street is currently chock-a-block with sleeveless denim tops, including Cos, Next and John Lewis. While you could do a double denim set like this wearer, you could also pair with linen trousers or shorts for an easy, breezy combo. Jean shorts, or jorts as they are more commonly known, have us in a chokehold. Dress up or down, wear them low slung or high waisted, but always keep the fit baggy. See our full guide on what to wear with them here, but shout-out to this heat-ready wearer who has styled hers with a flannel shirt (the perfect lightweight layering piece) and thong heeled sandals. OK, so we said no jeans but…when else can you wear white ones, if not in summer? Lest we remind you that white reflects heat, so dressing head-to-toe in it is practically science. Make a contrasting statement with a bright and colourful shoe. Rebecca Jane Hill is the Senior Fashion Editor at Cosmopolitan UK.

Courrèges' Nicolas Di Felice calls on his community to shoot latest campaign
Courrèges creative director Nicolas Di Felice handed over the reins to muses within his community this season to shoot his new men's and women's Spring 2026 pre-collection, which was presented to buyers in Paris on Tuesday. Unveiled inside Espace Commines in the Marais, the spiffy yet more relaxed collection comes at a time of rapid growth for the house of Courrèges, which in the past 18 months has opened four new boutiques in Korea alone. Inspired by the Mirrors of Paris social media phenomenon, Di Felice entrusted over a dozen models and friends of the house to shoot selfies in his latest collection as they roamed around the City of Light. 'Tis a far cry, and a welcome change, from the white cube show-spaces favored by Di Felice in his dramatic must-see shows during the Paris catwalk season. For next spring, Nicolas revamps classic Courrèges ideas for today, like employing the signature belt as chokers of taut check tops, patent leather slingbacks or curvy blousons. There is plenty of drama — from bravura cutaway skirts in denim or techy stretch, to slashed airtex dresses, to body-con open-back tops paired with biker shorts. Though overall, the clothes are cut more forgivingly — as was evident in a tour of the racks — and more targeted at the 40-something fans of the label. All told, 18 muses turn their cameras on themselves – from the likes of Apolline Rocco Fohrer, Elodie Guipaud and Axel Gay to Jacqui Hooper, Stella Hanan, Nastassia Legrand and Samuel Elie. Roving around the canals, bridges, squares and cobblestone quays of the Seine, in an intriguing shoot styled by veteran though ever-fresh stylist Marie Chaix, with casting by Piergiorgio Del Moro.
