Trust Me: These 7 Classic Jackets Will Always Look Great With Jeans

We like to make getting dressed as easy and as stress-free as possible. That's why we spend so much time bringing you the best outfits floating around in the fashion ether, many of which will be made up of items you already own. That's certainly the case as far as this fail-safe ensemble is concerned. Good jeans are available en masse and at lots of really great price points too. 

While I'm at it, you just can't beat a jacket and jeans combo, can you? It's a chic look that you can pull together at a moment's notice and that will never let you down—basically everything we want from our wardrobes. While you can confidently style just about any outwear with jeans and know it'll look good, there are certain jacket styles that loan themselves particularly well to denim. Keep scrolling to see a round-up of sleek but attainable jacket-and-jeans outfits.

1. LEATHER

Style Notes: Leather outerwear has made a massive comeback this winter, particularly in the guise of '90s-style blazers. Here, Brittany showcases just how great one can look with an all-black look, using it to add textured to her jeans and boots combo.

Shop the look:

A leather blazer is such a versatile wardrobe hero.

Cosy, comfy and so wearable. I love how Brittany has worn her jumper over her shoulders. 

Opt for a tapered jean for extra impact.

You can look to Bobbies for great leather boots and shoes, season after season. 

2. DENIM

Style Notes: Double denim makes a comeback every season. For a fresh take on the trend keep it oversized and follow Yaminah's lead and finish with a cute top-handle bag. 

Shop the look:

A jacket you'll reach for time and time again.

These wide-leg jeans go up to a size 26.

Ballet flats add a chic touch to any outfit, whilst the hardware details toughen it up a bit.

Style Notes: With a stylish nod to the 70's, suede jackets, ideally with fringing like Monikh's, always look the off-duty part when paired with jeans. 

Shop the look:

All the Who What Wear editors agree: M&S's jean range is just so good.

Monikh has worn her combo with trainers, but you could also dress it up with boots. I guarantee these will continue to be a wardrobe staple for years to come.

4. BLAZER

Style Notes: The only thing fashion types love more than blazers is wearing said blazers with jeans. Take cues from Aïda and style the combination a classic white tee before swapping flats for heels to take it from day to night.

Shop the look:

Dress it up with heels and a silk camisole or wear it over t-shirts with converse.

A white tee is a wardrobe essential.

Acne Studios is one of my favourite brands for designer denim with a great fit.

These will really come into their own over party season.

5. CAMEL

Style Notes: Of all the colour pairings out there, you'll be hard-pressed to find one chicer than indigo and tan. Case in point—Julie's timeless ensemble. Whatever style you go for, from belted to scarf-detailed, cropped to capes, it's sure to look good with denim.

Shop the look:

Mark my words, capes are going to be big for SS23.

Wear under jackets, dresses and shirts for extra warmth.

There's always room for black sunnies in your wardrobe.

Loafers are the fashion girl's flats of choice this year.

6. QUILTED

Style Notes: Not just a one season wonder, the khaki quilted jacket is here to stay and looks tres cool paired with denim. Style yours like Jessica with black denim and a 'Dad' trainer. Cute dog optional.

Shop the look:

It's not just scarf coats and striped that Totême does right.

7. TWEED

Style Notes: With the power to make everything look polished, tweed and bouclé jackets are given a cool spin when styled with blue jeans and an on-trend, lace-collared blouse. Accessorise yours with velvet loafers and a classic quilted bag. 

Shop the look:

Note the button detail on this Parisian-inspired jacket.

Arket never steers us wrong with it comes to the basics.

Zara's multi-straps-with-buckles shoes are sitting right at the top of my wish list right now.
