When I describe my personal style, the word simple often comes to mind. Sure, I'll really go for it with accessories from time to time (I love a statement bag or shoes), but for the most part, my day-to-day looks are pretty no-fuss. On that note, blue jeans are one of the staples I'm now wearing pretty much every week. And when it comes to the pieces I team with those trusty blues—yep, you guessed it—it's the low-key items that reign supreme.
Below, I thought I'd share some of the easy items I'm currently wearing or plan on wearing with my denim. To highlight the picks in question, I'm showcasing myself and inspiring imagery from some of my favorite fashion people to mix it up. Keep scrolling for more, including a range of shopping recommendations for each of the pieces in question.
Roomy Knits
Here I am in one of my go-to pieces—a roomy and cozy knit. I love the cream color paired with my light-wash jeans.
Relaxed White Button-Downs
I'm all about the relaxed-button-down trend right now. While there are many colors to pick from, it's the white shirts that I, like this influencer, am wearing on repeat.
Leather Separates
Leather pieces—whether that's a blazer, jacket, or shirt—always look cool with blue jeans. While more eye-catching in nature, leather still fits into my simple yet chic vibe.
Tees
What can I say—you just can't go wrong with a loose tee in a neutral hue paired with jeans. Absolutely no-fail.
Quilted Coats
I've been turning to a quilted coat with my jeans to complete my of-the-moment, casual 'fits. Tossing one over an easy ensemble just works.
