Remember back in, like, 2004 when everyone from the cast of Laguna Beach to the president of your sorority made jean skirts and Uggs a “stylish” combination. *Shudder* Luckily, in 2018, there are a number of infinitely more fashionable ways to style this summer staple. Here are six of our faves.

The top says business casual while the shoes say pool party casual. (And the jacket draped over your shoulder means you can wear it well into September.)

Want a more dressed-up take? Instead of a T-shirt or casual sweater, opt for a statement blouse (we love a ruffled sleeve) and swap out this lovely lady’s flat slides with a chunky block-heel sandal.
