Cute Cardigans
This season has seen the rise of the cardigan—with fashion girls and celebs alike (we're looking at you, Katie Holmes and Kendall Jenner) wearing them in fitted and cropped iterations. This winter, opt for one with alluring details such as puff shoulders, cable-knit detailing, and cool buttons to pair with your high-waisted jeans.
Shop:
Faux-Fur Coat
Nothing looks as sophisticated and luxurious in winter as a plush faux-fur coat. Throw one over skinny jeans, knee-high boots, and a sweater for a gorgeous look that takes minimal effort.
Shop:
Lug Soles
The chunkier the sole, the better! Heavy-duty lug soles are this season's most popular boots among fashion girls, and it's easy to see why. They're comfortable, practical, and empowering.
Shop:
Puffer Coat
Puffer jackers are trending hard, and as temps start to drop, they're the go-to topper of choice to wear with jeans. Cool girls have been spotted in cloud-like, cropped beige and cream iterations, pairing them with winter whites.
Shop:
Mock-Croc Belt
Mock-croc belts will elevate any pair of jeans (no matter how old). They're one of the most popular accessories this season that add interest and a luxurious touch to any ensemble.
Shop:
Check/Plaid Topper
There's something about heritage prints that just works so well with denim. Throw on a plaid or check overcoat with blue jeans for an easy work-to-weekend look.
Shop:
Knee-High Boots
Knee-high boots are huge this season—especially those that come in sumptuous leather and mock-croc material. And they're unquestionably perfect with a capital P over skinny jeans.
Shop:
Strong Collars
Immerse yourself in big collar energy when it comes to your tops, shirts, and blouses this winter! Think '70s-style big collars, large Peter Pan collars, or Victorian-inspired ruffled collars. They add such a fun touch with your straight-leg jeans.
Shop:
Hiking Boots
What other shoe style is everyone wearing with their jeans this season? Just one scroll of Instagram and you'll see that hiking boots have been trending hard. They look seriously cool with all types of jeans, from wide-leg to skinny.
Leather Trench
The leather trend is reigning supreme this winter, and we've been spotting some of our favorite fashion muses wearing black leather trench coats over jeans.
Shop:
Bold Sweaters
Let's face it: You're probably already living in sweaters this cold-weather season, so why not opt for a bold knit that will truly elevate any pair of jeans. Go for strong shoulders, puff sleeves, or strong detailing to zhoosh up your denim outfit.
