March is here, and that means sunnier days are ahead. Celebrities are already starting to transition their closets with more breathable and lightweight options in preparation for spring, and model Christie Brinkley just combined two of the season's trendiest denim styles that are ideal for warm weather.
In an Instagram post from Sunday, the model shared a series of snaps from a rather gloomy beach day (it's not quite spring after all!), and her outfit featured ripped jeans, Chelsea boots, and a cardigan shacket.
Ripped jeans help you stay cool when it's hot outside thanks to the breathable distressed holes. Plus, Brinkley's cuffed pair shows off her tall boots. If you're looking for the breeziest denim option this summer, shop ripped jeans — inspired by Christie Brinkley — from Amazon, Madewell, and Nordstrom for as little as $40.
