If Your Blue-Jeans Outfits Need a Refresh, Here Are 9 Cool Looks to Try

Blue jeans—where would our wardrobes be without them? We dread to think. No item in your wardrobe is as hard-working and versatile as blue jeans. You can wear them for everything from shopping trips to brunch, walks in the park to weekend cocktails. But still, our reliance on them can sometimes mean we take them for granted and don’t give them the same love and attention as we do other items on our outfit roster. We simply throw them on without giving them so much as a second thought. Well, no more!

To stop them from becoming stagnant—particularly in transitional months when we wear them so frequently—we’ve found nine blue-jeans outfits that will help you truly appreciate them and unlock their full style potential.

So whether you’re looking for new ways to freshen your look for the season ahead or simply want some insight into how to wear them now, continue on to fill up on all the blue-jeans outfit inspiration you could ever need.

Wear this with anything from jeans to a linen skirt.

2. CARDIGAN + VEST COMBO

Style Notes: Tweed and bouclé jackets have the power to elevate anything you wear them with—including blue jeans. This look is just the sort of thing to wear to dinner and low-key drinks (which inevitably turn out to be the funnest nights out of them all). Thanks, Yatri for the inspiration.

Many of & Other Stories' denim boats a vintage feel in terms of hue and rigidity. 

6. DOUBLE DENIM + BASEBALL CAP

Style Notes: From Celine to Isabel Marant, countless designers have showcased double-denim before, making it a trend that’s impossible to ignore. Take your cues from Pernille, and pair yours with black accessories and an offbeat baseball cap.

Shop the look:

Light-hued caps always look chic but this is one step further and crafted from linen.

We're still riding the wave of denim shirts. It's a classic, after all.
