Testing out new trends doesn't have to be so complicated. Since jeans are the one thing that we all live in on a daily basis, there's no easier way to introduce a new trend into your wardrobe than by wearing it with some of your favorite good old denim. Not all of the spring 2023 trends on deck this season are tailor-made for wearing with jeans, but it just so happens that the seven we're talking about here are.
Below, you’ll uncover some of the trends we're gravitating towards this end of winter and spring, plus we're sharing the denim we're teaming them with to create fresh and forward looks. As a preview, there’s everything from cool leather picks to elevated basics coming your way.
Keep scrolling to find a smattering of style references, complete with a digest of the items we think work flawlessly with classic jeans. Oh, and if you are in fact shopping at the moment, there are also cool items sprinkled throughout.
Bouclé Jackets
Once thought of as "stuffy," the bouclé jacket has returned to the wardrobes of fashion insiders lately and their structured shape looks particularly cool paired with slouchy jeans.
Ballet Flats
The prettiest shoe trend of the moment, ballet flats, are surprisingly versatile. We love how they add a touch of sweetness to a pair of rigid jeans
Vintage-Inspired Leather Jackets
Whether they're actually preowned or not, leather jackets that lend a vintage look with distressing and '90s shapes make any pair of jeans look that much cooler.
Classic Belts
Adding a leather belt is such a small detail to an outfit, but it can really bring together even the simplest of basics into something more cohesive.
Retro Sneakers
Embrace all the '90s dad vibes when you wear retro sneakers with straight-leg jeans. Actually, most jean shapes work here, but straight fits just make the combo feel nostalgic.
Shearling Jackets
Just like leather jacket, shearling-lined outerwear single-handedly brings a cool factor literally any denim outfit. Bust yours out for the remainder of the winter or invest now and wear it for years to come (the style never really goes away).
Double Denim
When in doubt, the Canadian tuxedo will never fail you. The combination fashion people are wearing most right now involves classic trucker jackets with jeans in the same wash color, so it looks like a matching set. Just add a fun bag and you're set.
