So, when we wanted to explore all of the many outside-the-box possibilities for versatile denim<\/a>, she was our top choice to lead the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keep scrolling to learn how Lauren styled 3 Dia&Co plus-size denim<\/a> pieces\u2014a pair of skinny jeans<\/strong><\/a>, a chambray shirt<\/strong><\/a>, and a denim jacket<\/strong><\/a>\u2014into 6 iconic ensembles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"plus-size<\/a>

\u201cI love wearing short dresses in the colder months with tights and booties, but once it warms up, I\u2019m shy about showing my bare legs. In the spring, I pair shorter dresses with super-slim jeans and bold accessories. The dress plays the role of a tunic\u2014and still looks super cool with a jacket or layered over a tee.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\"plus-size<\/a>

\u201cSometimes maxi dresses need an update! I like to twist and knot my high-low maxis at the waist and create an asymmetrical look that gives the appearance of a maxi top. Wearing skinny jeans underneath adds a bit of coverage and edge to the look while still allowing the dress to take center stage.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\"plus-size<\/a>

\u201cI\u2019m really into graphic tees these days and am always looking for cool ways to make them even more interesting. Layering a cropped tee over a chambray button-up is not only fun and preppy, but also a great way to add a little more coverage when you\u2019re not in the mood to show your belly.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\"plus-size<\/a>

\u201cThere\u2019s always that transition between winter and spring when you can\u2019t decide if it\u2019s time to ditch your coat or if it\u2019s still too chilly for just a light jacket. I like to throw a long vest over my denim jacket for an added layer. It feels funky and gives me the right level of warmth. Bonus points for contrasting denim!\u201d<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\"plus-size<\/a>

\u201cI live<\/em> for a good jumpsuit, but sometimes I don\u2019t want to go full sleeveless. A cool way to get around that is by rocking a chambray button-up underneath. This updates the whole look and maximizes its wearability, no matter the time of year.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\"plus-size<\/a>

\u201cThis one is a bit out there, but it\u2019s definitely a fave! I love to emphasize my waist, so pieces that tie in the middle are my go-to. By folding the top down and using the sleeves as ties, I\u2019m able to make one out of my chambray top. This can also be done with any collared shirt!\u201d<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
