If Your Blue-Jeans Outfits Need a Refresh, Here Are 9 Cool Looks to Try

Blue jeans—where would our wardrobes be without them? We dread to think. No item in your wardrobe is as hard-working and versatile as blue jeans. You can wear them for everything from shopping trips to brunch, walks in the park to weekend cocktails. But still, our reliance on them can sometimes mean we take them for granted and don’t give them the same love and attention as we do other items on our outfit roster. We simply throw them on without giving them so much as a second thought. Well, no more!
To stop them from becoming stagnant—particularly in transitional months when we wear them so frequently—we’ve found nine blue-jeans outfits that will help you truly appreciate them and unlock their full style potential.
So whether you’re looking for new ways to freshen your look for the season ahead or simply want some insight into how to wear them now, continue on to fill up on all the blue-jeans outfit inspiration you could ever need.
1. LEATHER JACKET + CROPPED TOP
Style Notes: Crop tops have been dominating the scene for a while now, and they're not going away. Follow Javi’s lead by styling a cropped bralette with a leather cover-up for the summer to autumn transition —and blue jeans, of course.
Shop the look:
2. CARDIGAN + VEST COMBO
Style Notes: Imani serves up some of the best blue-jeans outfits around, and one of our all-time favourites has to be this one. Use pieces you likely already own, and shrug off the shoulders of your cardigan to give this combination a cool edge.
Shop the look:
3. PRETTY WHITE BLOUSE + GOLD JEWELLERY
Style Notes: Pretty white blouses and blue jeans go together like two peas in a pod. Update the look by pairing your floaty blouse with wide-leg puddle jeans like Monikh, and a touch of chunky gold jewellery.
Shop the look:
A pretty white blouse and jeans is the ultimate pairing.
4. CLASSIC KNIT + OXFORD SHIRT
Style Notes: Who knew the simple combination of an oversized navy jumper, a striped Oxford shirt and blue jeans would work so well? Sasha, that’s who! Sorry, joggers—this is precisely what we want to wear in our downtime from here on out.
Shop the look:
5. BOUCLÉ BLAZER
Style Notes: Tweed and bouclé jackets have the power to elevate anything you wear them with—including blue jeans. This look is just the sort of thing to wear to dinner and low-key drinks (which inevitably turn out to be the funnest nights out of them all). Thanks, Yatri for the inspiration.
Shop the look:
This is such a great find on the highstreet.
6. DOUBLE DENIM + BASEBALL CAP
Style Notes: From Celine to Isabel Marant, countless designers have showcased double-denim before, making it a trend that’s impossible to ignore. Take your cues from Pernille, and pair yours with black accessories and an offbeat baseball cap.
Shop the look:
7. WAISTCOAT + STRAPPY HEELS
Style Notes: Perfect for warmer days, take two of the year’s biggest trends—waistcoats as tops and loose denim—and what do you get? An outfit we immediately want to re-create.
Shop the look:
You'll look instantly cool with this spliced design.
8. NAVY BLAZER + POINTED-TOE FLATS
Style Notes: Navy blazers will forever be a classic. Wearing one with full-length jeans and pointed flats makes them feel incredibly modern.
