It’s winter here in the UK, but I’ll be honest, it didn’t feel like it at all until last week when the temperature really dropped. And this can only mean one thing: jeans are officially my go-to option from now until next spring. I’ve had one or two pairs floating about until now, but I think we can agree that jeans are a capsule wardrobe staple that really come into their own throughout the colder months.
The first thing on my mind? I’ve been thinking about the coats-and-jeans outfits that I’ll be wearing this winter. With the ability to act as the focal point and therefore make or break my entire look, it’s crucial that I find coats that are equal parts elegant and cool, and more importantly, pair well with jeans so that my denim outfits don’t feel too simple or boring. Naturally, I decided to take a scroll through Instagram for some chic coats-and-jeans outfit inspiration. And my feed did not disappoint.
From luxe faux-fur coats paired with more casual wide-leg denim to timeless leather jackets paired with on-trend barrel-leg jeans, below, I’ve rounded up seven coats-and-jeans outfits to copy in winter 2025.
7 Chic Coats and Jeans Outfits to Copy This Winter
1. Wool Coat + Wide-Leg Jeans + Flats
Style Notes: Of course, I had to start off with a classic wool coat and wide-leg jeans outfit. This timeless combo is elegant, easy to dress up or down with flats or heels, and most importantly, is guaranteed to keep you warm from now until spring 2026. And the best part? You can mix and match this pairing in any coat colour or denim wash you like, and it will still look just as sophisticated.
Shop the Look:
You'll keep this in your wardrobe for many years to come.
I'm always partial to a scoop neckline.
Agolde makes some of the best jeans on the market.
Simple, classy and easy to style.
Chocolate suede will always get a yes from me.
2. Leather Coat + White Jeans + Patent Boots
Style Notes: A leather coat has long been on my winter wishlist, and I absolutely love the sleek black fabric paired with whiter jeans to freshen it up. This combo, plus the rich brown accents, makes it an outfit that I’ll be wearing on repeat all season.
Shop the Look:
Nour Hammour coats are well-worth the investment.
The draped neckline is so elegant.
Every wardrobe needs a versatile belt.
You'll reach for these in any and every season.
French-girl approved.
I adore the distressed leather.
3. Wool Jacket + Straight-Leg Jeans + Mules
Style Notes: If you’re after a shorter wool coat for the current season and beyond, Mandarin coats are having a moment. I’ve spotted this chic outerwear style on a number of my favourite fashion influencers recently. Not only does it pair well with jeans, but the cropped style will serve you well when the temperature starts to rise next spring.
Shop the Look:
Influencers and editors alike can't seem to get enough of Rohe's Mandarin jacket.
A high-neck silhouette will always look polished.
You'll get so much wear out of these.
I've heard nothing but good things about Paris Texas' boots.
To polish off the look.
4. Faux-Fur Coat + Light-Wash Jeans + Trainers
Style Notes: Texture plays a huge role in cold-weather dressing, and a faux-fur coat will not only add interest to your classic light-wash jeans but also keep you warm and cosy on those really chilly days. Keep the rest of the look simple, and let the coat do the talking.
Shop the Look:
This looks so expensive.
An easy layering piece.
The styling possibilities are endless.
There's something so chic about an all-black trainer.
The woven leather is instantly recognisable.
5. Suede Coat + Grey Jeans + Low-Heeled Boots
Style Notes: Another texture I have my eye on this winter is suede. I already own a suede cropped jacket, and now, this longer style is calling to me as well. Not to mention that the chocolate hue pairs so well with the grey of the jeans and the knit. Very cool.
Shop the Look:
So chic!
I've already added this to my basket.
The front-seam makes these dressy enough for the office.
Match the suede coat with this pair of boots.
I've had my eye on this for awhile.
6. Trench Coat + Flared-Jeans + Heels
Style Notes: It wouldn’t feel right having a jeans outfit round-up without a flared pair in the mix. To make them feel less ‘70s and more 2026, pair them with an elegant trench, a cool belt, chunky socks and low slingback heels.
Shop the Look:
This is a hue that you don't usually find on trench coats.
This will come in handy throughout party season as well.
You can always rely on a pair of Levi's.
There are 51 different colours to choose from!
How cool is this heel?
7. Long Coat + Puddle Jeans + Pointed Boots
Style Notes: Much like your white jeans, a long wool coat in a similar hue will also help your denim outfit to feel fresh and modern this winter. The coat, plus the cool grey puddle jeans and sleek black accessories make this one that feels equally as cool as it does classic.
Shop the Look:
This sells out every winter.
There are so many ways to style this classic knit.
A versatile belt will serve you well for many years to come.
Such an elevated silhouette.
These will never date.
Another Bottega style I have my eye on.
So sleek.
