And Now, 6 Easy Outfits With Jeans to Wear This Spring
Spring weather can be all over the place—hot, cold, or anywhere in between. As exciting as it is to think about the blooming flowers and new beginnings, there are also those miserable days when you've piled on layers to leave the house, only to be dripping in sweat by 2 p.m. With the transitional temps, the one item of clothing you can truly rely on is a trusty pair of jeans. No matter the weather, they'll never fail you, so they're a great place to start when you're putting together an outfit this season. Wear them with a tank top and sandals or a trench coat and boots depending on the day and your mood.
Here, I've compiled six easy spring outfits with jeans. These are simple formulas you can follow that'll give you some fashion inspiration for the new season, straight from the best street style stars and influencers. Hopefully, they'll make getting dressed in the morning a *little* less stressful, even when the weather outside is unpredictable. Keep scrolling to see how you can style spring looks with a good ol' pair of denim, and shop them below!
How fun is this menswear-inspired look? A striped button-down with a loose tie gives a pair of raw-hemmed jeans and lug-sole clogs some polish.
If spring was a piece of clothing, it would be a mesh long-sleeve top. You still have the coverage of the sleeves, but with a skin-baring material. Pair it with some distressed jeans, a shoulder bag, and heels to dress it up.
You might already have raw-hem jeans, but do you own a pair with a frayed waistband? Didn't think so.
Swirled patterns are so in right now, just saying.
This piece is a best seller for a reason. You'll turn to this silky bralette time and again.
Talk about a color story! Start with a pair of loose, cuffed jeans, and add a statement sweater-vest, bold shoes, a contrasting bag, and shoulder-dusting green earrings to drive the "spring" theme home.
When it's technically spring but feels more like summer, opt for sandals, tie-dye, and distressed jeans to keep things looking effortless while also keeping cool.
Level up your button-down game with a colorful style.
Channel the florals into your look with a printed or patchwork jacket. Bonus points if you also accessorize with fresh flowers. A shoulder bag, boots, and a classic pair of straight-leg jeans finish it off.
You can never have too many pairs of high-waisted, straight-leg, medium-wash jeans in your closet. Trust me.
The loose fit of this jacket makes it easy to layer anything underneath.
If you simply carry a phone, a wallet, keys, this is the bag for you.
The rest of your plain black boots are gonna be so jealous of these zippered ones.
An all-white ensemble practically screams "spring," but you can always break it up with a blue denim jacket. A black belt also adds some contrast. This look pairs well with iced coffee—just be careful not to get it on your top… or jeans… or shoes.
FYI: Madewell has some of the best denim jackets out there.

Lauren Adhav is a freelance fashion editor based in Los Angeles. Originally from Orlando, Florida, she always wanted to work at a fashion magazine. After finally getting an internship at Town & Country in 2015, she moved to New York City and continued to get her footing in the industry with stints at Cosmopolitan, W magazine, Harper's Bazaar, and Moda Operandi. In 2017, she returned to Cosmo full time, starting off as the beauty and fashion editorial assistant and working her way to fashion editor. She contributed to both the website and print issues, pitching new ideas, forecasting trends, covering red carpet events, and informing the overall coverage and brand voice. After five years in NYC, she moved to the West Coast for the sunshine and the change of pace. As a freelance fashion editor, she still contributes to Cosmo and now Who What Wear. She's always trying to get ahead of the next big trend before it goes mainstream and loves discovering fashion brands with a unique point of view (Chopova Lowena, Sandy Liang, and Bode being some of her current favorites). She also spends an unhealthy amount of time online shopping for the perfect piece, and now that she's in L.A., she's rediscovering her soft spot for malls. On the weekends, you can find her walking around the Silver Lake Reservoir, trying to catch up on her tan at Venice Beach, and probably ordering a Chinese chicken salad at Joan's on Third.
