Jeans have come a long, long way from being the work pant of choice among gold miners, and the denim pieces we've found this summer might just be the girliest evolution of this sturdy fabric yet. Think office-friendly shifts from Forever 21, scalloped-hem shorts (a pretty, feminine take on the classic cut-off) courtesy of MiH, or a floral-print denim romper from Topshop, for starters. We've put together 17 of the summer's girly denim pieces in the gallery above, and remember the wise words of Diane von Furstenburg: “Feel like a woman. Wear a dress” Or a pencil skirt... or a romper... or a tie-neck blouse... —Julie Chen
