A white shirt, a blazer, heeled ankle boots... These are all items that make up the core of my capsule wardrobe, but there's one piece that really stands out as a timeless staple, and that's a pair of jeans. Whether it's a classic blue wash or a baggy, trend-led pair, black straight-legs or white wide-legs, jeans are the most versatile item in my wardrobe all year round.
Of course, this is common knowledge, and I need not go into detail on just how versatile a great pair of jeans can be—we're sure you're well aware of the fact they can be dressed up or down with a few clever wardrobe updates. But that doesn't mean there are occasions—the turn of a new season perhaps—that makes up thing about freshening our denim outfits up a tad.
With spring finally on the horizon, I'm in need of some inspiration on how to make my favourite denim new season ready, which is why I have turned to some of the most stylish women on Instagram to provide easy to copy looks. Scroll on to discover the very best jeans outfits for 2024.
1. Light Wash Jeans + Denim Jacket + Trainers
Style Notes: Jessica's hack of layering a cosy vest over a denim jacket is one not to miss. As an advocate for Agolde jeans, I love how she keeps her light wash pair casual with Adidas trainers (Samba's, of course) and fuss-free accessories. Perfect for slightly chillier spring day.
Shop the Look:
This is Jessica's actual jacket.
And the actual jeans, too.
We all know how quickly these sell out.
And yep, you guessed it, the exact vest too.
2. Turn-Up Jeans + Belted Blazer + Ballet Flats
Style Notes: Weather permitted, ballet flats are the perfect accompaniment to baggy jeans. I'm a huge fan of Karina's high/low look with the smart belted blazer and sparkly shoes.
Shop the Look:
The quality is so good.
These will work across all seasons.
Because sparkles aren't just for party season.
To wear with every outfit, forever.
3. Wide-Leg Jeans + Red Jumper + Flats
Styles Notes: Yes, the colour of the season isn't going anywhere, so now is still the best time to buy a red jumper. Going hand-in-hand with dark blue jeans, I'm going to copy this look with a jumper I just bought from the men's section at COS.
Shop the Look:
Pop a white tee underneath and you're sorted.
One of the best on the high street.
These come fashion editor-approved.
Baggy jeans look so good with fancy flats.
4. White Jeans + Suede Jacket + Heeled Boots
Style Notes: Going for a tonal palette without being too, well, beige, can be tricky, but Lydia gives it a fresh feel by adding warmer brown tones in luxe suede.
Shop the Look:
Come spring, you'll definitely wear this with shorts.
White jeans look best loose-fit.
A new favourite.
Such a classic.
5. Blue Jeans + Blazer + Leopard Print Shoes
Style Notes: For an off-duty 'popping to the shops' vibe, Lena masterfully styles her blue jeans with a brown blazer, suede tote and leopard print shoes. Gorgeous!
Shop the Look:
A gorgeous brown blazer is just as versatile as a black one.
Toteme never fails to impress me.
Leopard is a huge print trend for 2024.
Chic and practical in equal measure.
6. Black Jeans + Flannel Shirt + Ballet Flats
Style Notes: I always head to Anouk's account for outfit inspo, and she hasn't failed to deliver when it came to fresh denim looks either. Get her look by pairing black jeans with a flannel shirt and flats. If you want to smarten it up, just swap in heeled ankle boots and a blazer.
Shop the Look:
This would also look great with denim shorts.
COS has some of the best jeans on the high street this season.
