Denim-on-denim dressing is back and here to stay, especially for the spring and summer, so we’ve been perusing all the best denim trends and styles to cart up. And most recently, Madewell’s denim collection caught our attention. Refinery29 editors love Madewell, especially for its bestselling Harlow pants. Now, we’re eyeing the brand’s denim refresh with over 100 new denim styles for the spring. And the biggest, brightest spotlight is on the new Perfect Summer Denim capsule collection.
Madewell’s limited-edition capsule is a celebration of the brand’s iconic Fitzgerald wash, which debuted 10 years ago when it first appeared on the Perfect Summer Jean (a discontinued style that OGs will remember) and has since become a best-selling vintage style. With a lived-in, faded wash and an old-school rigid feel, the Fitzgerald is a nostalgic denim dream.
The Perfect Summer Denim capsule includes brand new Madewell styles, from a denim dress and a denim maxi skirt, to best-selling styles in the Fitzgerald wash, like the Perfect Vintage Crop Jean and more. Read on to shop Madewell’s new summer denim offerings and to build your head-to-toe denim outfits.
This best-selling jean style just got the Fitzgerald treatment, and we’re obsessed. The slouchy straight-leg cut is the ultimate cool gal silhouette and the low slung waistband is easy and breezy. (But for those, like myself, who are scared of low-rise jeans, worry not because these jeans are merely relaxed; not dramatically low cut.) If you’re looking for a 100% cotton denim jean with a vintage feel (AKA no stretch) this is the style for you.
Denim dresses are back and better than ever, and this sweet mini dress is at the top of our lists. The casual and chic style has a flattering “squoval neckline,” seam details that mimic a pair of jeans, and a mod shift dress silhouette. You likely already have a little black dress in your wardrobe, but now it’s time to add a little denim dress into your spring closet too.
I will forever defend my love for jorts (jean shorts) — they’re the perfect summer staple for casual everyday outfits, but can also be dressed up with blouses and strappy heels. The Perfect Vintage Jean Short comes in many top-rated iterations, but the style was just released in the light Fitzgerald wash with raw hemlines. The super high waist, “booty-accentuating shape,” and mid-thigh length make for the perfect short.
Like we said, double-denim dressing is in, especially thanks to the resurgence of Western style, ‘90s nostalgia, andfestival season. So beyond throwing on a denim jacket, keep a lookout for denim tops, like this unique Madewell style. The button-up front is giving us trendy vest vibes, and the structured seaming reminds us of a chic corset. Pair it with your favorite jeans or denim skirt, and you’ve got yourself a look.
You can’t go wrong with slipping into a denim skirt in any season, but they’re especially a great closet staple for the spring and summer. The Rilee Denim Midi Skirt in Fitzgerald is the perfect light-wash style for brunches and farmers market runs to backyard barbecues and festivals. The thigh-high front slit is especially great for easy movement and a breezy, sneaky leg-baring moment.

Nobody commits to the bit the way Zendaya does. The movie star is known for her on-theme red carpet dressing. Earlier in the year, the actor embodied a futuristic desert princess when promoting Dune: Part Two. This month, alongside her stylist Law Roach, Zendaya has been cosplaying as her tennis prodigy-turned-professional coach character, Tashi Duncan, for Luca Guadagnino’s Challengers, ahead of the film’s April 26 release date.
While we’re excited about the on-screen fashion in Challengers, which follows a decade-plus-long love triangle, we’re even more enthralled by Zendaya’s press tour looks. From the Loewe tennis ball heels to the gown the color of a grass court, suddenly, the standout tennis-inspired looks have got us excited to get into the (fashion) game.
To help you ease into wearing the tenniscore trend, which is bound to keep growing throughout the spring and summer (especially thanks to trending track star style and sportscore), we’ve pulled some of Zendaya’s most notable Challengers press tour looks, ranging from elevated athleisure to retro tennis star vibes. Read on to see Zendaya’s grand slam outfits and implement her tennis style into your own wardrobe, too, even if you have no red carpets or tennis matches in your future.
Kitschy Activewear Details
One of the most viral Challengers press tour moments yet was in Rome when Zendaya sported tennis ball-pierced stilettos from Loewe, designed by the luxury brand’s creative director and the movie’s costume designer, Jonathan Anderson. As if the shoes weren’t enough of a showpiece, Zendaya paired them with a custom Loewe V-neck dress inspired by a tennis uniform and featuring bedazzled varsity stripes. The actress’ luxe pieces with activewear elements didn’t end there, as she donned a Thom Browne gown, featuring a polo collar and all-over tennis racket appliques, to the London movie premiere. Most recently, Zendaya stepped out at a Beverly Hills photocall in a custom Jacquemus dress with a polo shirt neckline and drawstring ties around the waist.
Show off your love for the game, by incorporating cutesy activewear details and embracing tennis-themed clothing, as well as tennis gear-shaped accessories and jewelry. That means all things tennis balls and rackets! But beyond the kitschy nods, you could also dress up polo tops, and tennis dresses with the right accessories. Or cart up formalwear in the form of a maxi dress with preppy stripes, a crystal-encrusted top, or a sleek hooded dress like Zendaya.
Green Color Palette
Emerald and neon and chartreuse, oh my! Zendaya’s press looks have packed a punch in terms of tennis greens. Back in March, at the first Challengers premiere in Sydney, the actress stepped out in a glittery green Loewe gown featuring a tennis player silhouette.
On the chartreuse end, the star has worn the can’t-miss hue several times during the Challengers press tour, including a Marc Jacobs for Louis Vuitton Spring/Summer 1999 chartreuse top and matching pants set for a Paris photocall, mini dress for a BAFTA film screening, and sporty set for an interview. But the boldest and brightest Zendaya look has been a custom neon green maxi with a waist tennis ball adornment, courtesy of Celia Kritharioti.
Think it’ll be difficult finding a tennis ball neon style that seamlessly blends into your wardrobe? Don’t stress, because citron zest is trending in 2024, and several of your favorite brands are selling it right now. You can take Zendaya’s lead, and wear grassy-green statement spring jackets and matching sets. If you’re not sold, you can ease into the bold color with playful footwear and accessories. Look out for trendy pointed-toe heels, cheery handbags, and chunky costume jewelry in the colorway.
Preppy & Nostalgic Nods
Zendaya has also been serving nostalgic touches throughout her press tour fashion. For the Monte-Carlo Masters tennis match, Zendaya posed wearing a retro-looking collared cable knit sweater with a preppy emblem affixed and a high-slit maxi skirt with a trouser-like waistband from Brunello Cucinelli.
During a Paris photocall, the Challengers star wore a ‘60s-inspired mod jacket dress with Louis Vuitton’s signature Damier checkered pattern from the Spring/Summer 2013 collection. Law Roach also pulled an archival Ralph Lauren Spring 1992 polo-neck halter mini dress, originally shown off by supermodel Cindy Crawford on the runway, in the nod to the ultimate ’90s prep brand.
Preppy fashion has been back for a while, so you likely already have something in your closet to channel an old-school tennis player (or channel Zendaya channeling an old-school tennis player). That may include a cable knit cardigan, polo top, or tennis shoes. But if you’re looking for fresh inspo, consider carting up the exact Tory Burch chevron polo top Zendaya wore in NYC (see below). Or cart up a visor and sleek white tennis dress a la Palm Royale… no matter if you’re planning on actually playing the game, being a well-dressed spectator, or simply wanting to try out tenniscore in your everyday life.

Many venues, especially major stadiums, require that any bags brought inside must be clear, so the contents can be easily seen by security. A few years ago, this created a frenzy of last-minute Amazon bag purchases and an overall flood of PVC plastic bags on the market. The upside of this demand is there are actually a lot of cute clear stadium bags to choose from. From elevated clear purses and the popular crossbody variety to funky fanny packs and mini backpacks, the new arrivals are so trendy that you can wear them beyond game day.
Ahead, we've compiled the very best clear purses — with many customizable options coming from Amazon and Etsy — that fit within the typical stadium-approved 12 x 6 x 12-inch dimensions. While you may think this will be a one-off purchase, you may be surprised that you’ll want to use a clear purse time and time again, whether you’re bringing it to school, out to lunch, or for a stroll at the park.
