Fun balmy beach scenes of piggy-back riding, making sand angels and summer flings make us all daydream of being on the beach. The models glam up in hip denim, including ripped jeans and cut-off shorts. Denim shirts and jackets also make an appearance for this awesome beach bum look, providing plenty of ideas for summer looks for the coming year.
