The jeans-and–a cute top look that used to be our go-for a night out in the mid-2000s is decidedly back, as evidenced by outfits we've seen on models, celebs, and industry insiders as of late. And what makes that easy outfit formula even better, in our opinion, is the addition of sneakers.
The chill combination of jeans, sneakers, and a going-out top may not work for the club or a fancy event, but for something like a casual date night, you can't go wrong. That said, not just any top will work with jeans and sneakers. You'll need something special enough to elevate them a bit, but also not so fancy that it looks like you spilled something on the rest of your outfit and had to make a last-minute change.
For this assortment of covetable going-out tops, we sought out alluring cuts, luxe fabrics, and bold colors. Between the options from Topshop, Staud, Off-White, and more, you're sure to find something to wear for your next chill night out. Shop some of our favorite going-out tops to wear with jeans below.
