I Only Wear Jeans With Other Basics—These Outfits Are Amazing

Whenever I spot an outfit idea I like while scrolling through Instagram, I add it to my Saved folder. Recently, I perused that folder to pull out ensembles to share with you, dear readers. Given that I have simple style, I tend to wear jeans with other basics a lot. Unsurprisingly, many of my saved outfits featured these key pieces.
Keep scrolling to check out six outfit ideas I think are particularly chic and that I think you might be interested in testing out this spring. Included in the mix below are ensembles featuring everything from trendy baggy jeans to modern tailoring silhouettes to relaxed separates. Go on for more, and shop inspired pieces from each look if you want to add something fresh to your wardrobe.
