If your closet is anything like ours, it's a mix of the pieces you reach for every single day and the statement pieces that make an outfit feel special. At Grace + Emma, we design both — and this season, we're breaking down exactly how to wear some of our most-loved pieces so you can build outfits that feel effortless, flattering, and completely you.
Whether you're headed to a tailgate, running errands, or packing for your next getaway, here's your guide to styling our best sellers.
1. Denim That Does the Work For You
Good denim is the foundation of a great wardrobe, and our jeans are designed to flatter every body with a high-rise fit and a wide or straight leg that skims rather than clings. A few of our favorites:
-
Striped Straight-Leg Jeans — a fresh twist on classic denim, perfect for elevating a plain tee.
-
Straight-Leg Jeans with Rhinestones — for when you want your bottoms to do the talking.
-
Polka Dot Barrel Jeans — playful and a little unexpected, these bring instant personality to a neutral top.
Styling tip: Let statement denim be the star. Pair rhinestone or printed jeans with a simple bodysuit or basic tee, then finish with gold jewelry and boots. If your jeans are more classic (like our Dark Wash Straight-Leg Denim), that's your chance to go bold up top with a graphic tee or peplum blouse.
2. Western Muse: Boho Details, Everyday Wear
Our Western Muse collection blends boho romance with western charm — think embroidered horses, lace details, and easy silhouettes that feel lived-in from the first wear.
-
Western Yoke Collared Top with Embroidered Horses — puff sleeves and a relaxed fit make this a top you'll want to wear on repeat.
-
Horses on Ivory Sweater Vest — layer this over a blouse or tee for texture and warmth.
-
Lace Horse Shoe on Pink Sweatshirt — feminine details on a cozy staple.
Styling tip: These pieces are made to be mixed with denim, but don't be afraid to pair a western top with a flowy skirt for a look that transitions from day to night. Add a pair of hoop earrings or a delicate necklace to keep the focus on the details.
3. Gameday Ready: Dressing for Tailgates and Beyond
Gameday dressing shouldn't mean sacrificing style for team spirit. Our Gameday collection is built for exactly that — cute enough for the tailgate, comfortable enough to wear all day.
-
Cowgirl Stars on White Boxy Tee — high-stretch fabric and a comfy boxy fit make this a throw-on-and-go piece.
-
Horse Bit Frame on Black Boxy Tee — a neutral graphic tee that pairs with literally everything.
Styling tip: Tuck a boxy graphic tee into your favorite denim, layer a quarter-zip or cardigan over it for cooler days, and finish with sneakers or boots depending on the weather. Add team colors through accessories rather than the whole outfit for an elevated take on gameday style.
4. The Elevated Basics You'll Wear Every Week
Some pieces earn a permanent place in your rotation, and that's exactly what our Elevated Basics collection is for.
-
Butter Soft Pants (available in Brown, Slate Blue, Maroon, Black, and Pink) — buttery-soft fabric with a fit that works for the office or a coffee run.
-
Butter Soft Quarter-Zip Top — cozy, polished, and easy to layer.
-
Butter Soft Shorts and V-Neck Top — perfect for warmer days or lounging at home.
Styling tip: Build a full matching set with the Butter Soft Pants and Quarter-Zip Top for an "I got dressed but didn't really try" look that still feels put together. Swap in the shorts and V-neck combo for spring and summer, and layer a jacket over the top for cooler evenings.
5. Dresses for Every Kind of Day
From tiered midis to checkered mini dresses, our dress collection is designed to make getting dressed the easiest part of your day.
-
Sleeveless Tiered Dress (Navy Checkered, Yellow Checkered, Blue Floral) — soft, textured fabric with tiered layers for movement and shape.
-
Pink & Green Floral Tiered Dress — a bold tropical print with feminine ruffle sleeves.
-
Chambray Dress with Wide Collar — an oversized collar and ruffle hem give this everyday dress a fashion-forward edge.
-
The Valentina Mid-Wash Jeans and other denim pair beautifully under a longline kimono for a layered, transitional look.
Styling tip: A tiered dress works year-round — wear it alone in warmer months, then add tights, a denim jacket, and boots as the temperature drops. Cinch with a belt if you want to define your waist, or let it flow for an easy, relaxed silhouette.
6. Layer It Up: Kimonos and Peplum Blouses
Layering pieces are where you can really have fun with texture and print.
-
Lace Long Kimono (Brown, Black) — a sheer, flowing layer that instantly dresses up jeans and a tee.
-
High Neck Blouse with Lace Peplum (Black, Maroon) — embroidered lace details and balloon sleeves make this blouse a standout on its own.
-
Peplum Blouse with Ruffle Detail — a flattering, relaxed fit with a tie neckline.
Styling tip: Use a kimono the way you'd use a cardigan — thrown over a simple outfit to add movement and interest without adding bulk. Peplum tops are naturally flattering, so keep the rest of the outfit simple: straight-leg jeans and minimal jewelry let the blouse shine.
Building Your Grace + Emma Capsule
If you're starting from scratch or refreshing your wardrobe for the season, here's a simple formula for building a capsule with pieces from across our collections:
- Two pairs of denim — one classic (dark wash straight-leg) and one statement (rhinestone or printed).
- A layering piece — a lace kimono or quarter-zip for versatility across temperatures.
- One tiered or printed dress — for the days you want to look pulled together in thirty seconds flat.
- A boxy graphic tee — for casual days, tailgates, and errands.
- A set of Butter Soft basics — because comfort should never be optional.
- Simple gold or pearl accessories — to tie everything together without overpowering the details already built into our pieces.
Final Thoughts
At Grace + Emma, we believe getting dressed should feel like a small act of self-care, not a chore. Every piece — from our best-selling denim to our cozy Butter Soft basics — is designed to make you feel confident, comfortable, and a little bit graceful, no matter what your day looks like.
