12 Jeans Outfits That Will Help Reinvent Your Favorite Pair

It doesn't matter if you're someone who enjoys elaborate designs or prefers to keep things more low-key — chances are you own at least one pair of jeans. This wardrobe staple continues to be one of the most versatile garments we own, thanks to its varying cuts, washes, and fits. We love how baggy jeans act as the perfect counterpart to an itty bitty crop top and how a cropped pair can accentuate statement shoes. Not to mention the way a high-waist jeans and blazer combo works as well for the office as it does for date night.

Still, when you're wearing denim day in and day out or even stepping out in the same pair multiple times per week, it can be easy to run out of styling ideas — and that's where we come in. To help you reinvent what's already in your closet, we've rounded up our favorite ways to wear jeans, as seen on street style stars from New York to Paris. Let these ideas spark some inspiration for how to style your go-to pair of pants.

With More Denim

There's no need for these pieces to match perfectly — in fact, this outfit tends to look better when they don't. Keep things classic by adding a jean jacket or chambray top, or take your look to the next level by working denim footwear into the mix.

With a Button-Down

When you're fresh out of jeans outfit ideas, grab a white button-down or even a white tee. It's an elevated combination beloved by celebrities and fashion influencers alike. Plus, it never goes out of style, thus making it the ultimate go-to.

With a Tank Top

On warmer days, adding a tank top is an easy, classic way to complete your jeans ensemble. Spice things up by embracing a grunge-inspired aesthetic, opting for ripped bottoms and a vibrant muscle tee instead of your average cami.

With Timeless Neutrals

We love loud colors, but there's something so sleek about styling jeans with black and other neutral items. By reaching for a black crop top, quilted jacket, and coordinating boots, you'll create a model-approved mix that's perfect for in-between, transitional weather.

With Flashier Garments

If you're wondering how to wear metallics and sequins during the daytime, jeans are the answer. These basic bottoms will balance out those in-your-face pieces for a more toned-down — but far from boring — aesthetic.

With a Sexy Top

Amp up your baggiest pair of denim with a form-fitting cutout top or unitard that shows off all your curves. With the addition of pointed-toe heels, you've got yourself the ultimate date night outfit.

With Lots of Layers

It's no surprise that come wintertime, jeans are a fashion favorite. They pair well with baggy, bulky layers, including turtlenecks and casual sweatshirts, and if you're aiming for extra warmth, simply slip some tights on underneath.

With Statement Shoes

Darker-wash jeans are the perfect companion to cowboy boots. Keep the rest of your outfit simple (think a solid tee and a bomber jacket) to ensure all eyes gravitate toward your statement footwear.

With a Vest

A foolproof jeans outfit idea consists of a relaxed pair styled with a basic T-shirt. While it works as is, you can incorporate additional pieces, say, a sweater vest, for a trendier schoolcore look if you want.

With a Blazer

A blazer has the ability to elevate any pair of pants, and when worn with jeans (and possibly a button-down and sling-backs), you'll have an office-appropriate outfit that works for off-hours, too.

With a Dress

Are you ready to embrace Y2K fashion round two? Pull a Katie Holmes and try the unexpected dress-over-jeans trick. At the very least, the additional layer is great for warmth during winter months.

With Comfortable Footwear

Just about any shoe can be styled with jeans. If you can't bear the thought of slipping into sky-high heels or thigh-high boots, finish off your jeans outfit with white sneakers or Uggs. Comfortable? Yes. Stylish? That too.
