Denim Alternatives To Try This Summer

We’re here with some easy-breezy alternatives that can replace your denim staples and still get the job done!

Chambray

This one is probably the closest you can get to the look of denim but without any of the bulkiness. Chambray is nothing but a type of cotton that includes white with blue or black yarn in its weave, giving a very denim-like effect. It’s super lightweight and looks great for trousers or pants, and a perfect jeans alternative.

Khadi

This handwoven national treasure is known to keep you warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer, making it perfect for hotter days. Made of cotton, khadi is available in many denim-like textures and colours with options of khadi denim also available, which are often softer and more breathable than conventional denim. The best way to get your hands on these is to head to your nearest KVIC store for some summer-perfect wardrobe picks.

Linen

One of the things denim adds to your wardrobe is its sturdiness, which most lightweight fabrics may lack, but that’s not the case with linen blends. Not only is this flax-derived fabric sturdy enough to make for great trousers but also keeps you sweat-free.

Cotton

Cotton is nothing less than the kind of summer wear. It’s available in many versions that are sturdy but breathable versions of the fabrics, making for a great denim switch. Cotton twill pants or jackets are a variation you can opt for.
