My closet wouldn't be the same without a few trusty pairs of jeans. Those go-to cuts are true wardrobe staples for me because of their versatility. In fact, I basically wear jeans every single day and dress them up or down accordingly. While I have some outfit formulas I turn to when wearing jeans, there are a few key pieces (tops and shoes specifically) that I'm teaming with them now and will continue to wear over the next six months and way into 2024.
The pieces in question are all modern yet classic and feel particularly relevant, and I think they will hold strong for seasons to come. Below, you'll find the staples in question, complete with visual inspiration on how others also style the key items. Keep scrolling for more, along with shopping recommendations.
Relaxed White Button-Down Shirt
A relaxed button-down shirt teamed with jeans is one of my favorite easy outfit formulas. It's a timeless vibe.
Loafers
Here I am in one of my uniforms (note the button-down shirt). I also wanted to call out the loafers here. I adore how loafers can bring a polished twist to any look.
Oversize Striped Sweater
You can't go wrong with a striped sweater. A looser pick is just dreamy with jeans. I also want to call out the ballet flats here—another chic shoe style to try with jeans.
Blazer + Sweater
A sweater tied around your shoulders brings instant chicness to an ensemble. I'm into a blazer with jeans (and sneakers) teamed with the knit.
Black Boots
Black boots are a foolproof choice to wear with a range of outfits, including a look with jeans.
