5. With printed pants

One of the advantages of the denim shirt is that it softens a little the flashy effect of printed fabrics and bright colors. For this reason it is your best ally, if you want to dare colors and prints without overdoing it, while maintaining a balanced look.

Long printed trousers, like shorts, go very well with denim shirts, and thanks to their "normalizing" power you can indulge yourself with the prints you want!

That's how.
