I honestly don't know what we'd all wear in the winter if denim ceased to exist. It's simply essential and is the perfect match for all of those winter-friendly items like coats, sweaters, and boots. It's also universally loved, so there's a steady stream of examples of stylish women wearing incredible winter outfits with jeans.

I scoured street style from the past year in search of the winter jeans outfits that look ultra expensive, thanks to a smart styling trick here and there. What does or doesn't make an outfit look expensive isn't a scientifically proven fact, but I have a well-trained eye for these sorts of things, so keep scrolling to learn nine tricks of the trade and shop the looks.
