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:
Mark my words, this piece is guaranteed to sell out.
Wear this with anything from jeans to a linen skirt.
Raey create the best relaxed jeans.
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:
A two-in-one set in the softest fabrication. Just add jeans.
A vintage wash with a good amount of stretch. Yes, please!
A classic bag with the pop of gold accents.
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.
Mark my words, low-rise jeans are sticking around for a while yet.
Add some sheen to this classic ensemble with a stacking ring.
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:
A navy jumper is a piece you can interchange with many outfits.
This will also suit ecru denim!
An exaggerated cuff brings an element of intrigue to this style.
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.
Many of & Other Stories' denim boats a vintage feel in terms of hue and rigidity.
These Toteme boots are so good.
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:
Light-hued caps always look chic but this is one step further and crafted from linen.

Shop the look:
The tailored waistcoat isn't going anywhere anytime soon.
You'll look instantly cool with this spliced design.
One year since its initial release and I'd still recommend these M&S heels!
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.
Shop the look:
This classic blazer can take you from the office to after-hours. It's an investment piece you'll wear for life.
