12 Cool Black-Jeans Outfits That Are Officially Trend-Proof
In our book, there’s no such thing as too much outfit inspiration. Whether you’re looking for new ways to freshen your seasonal office or want to perfect your personal style, pulling inspiration from street style stars, fashion influencers, and celebrities alike is always a great place to start. And today, we’re focusing on denim and highlighting the coolest outfits to wear with black jeans.
I personally wear the dark denim multiple times a week this time of year, so I’ve bookmarked a number of outfits that are classic, seasonless, and are pretty much immune to current trends. These are the outfit combos that you can easily wear over and over again, so trust me when I say you’re going to want to commit these to memory. From simple two-piece looks and classic outerwear options to effortless ways to wear the denim staple, continue on to fill up on outfit inspiration.
Pointed-toe ankle boots with black jeans always looks so chic.
Style your skinny jeans with tall boots and an oversize jacket for a polished look.
Try a relaxed casual look, try pairing a trench coat with a white T-shirt and sneakers.
A structured blazer never fails to pull a look together.
Pair a chic leather jacket with black boot-cut jeans for a day-to-night look.
Tuck in a crisp oversize button-down shirt and throw a sweater over your shoulders to make your basics look so fresh.
For a laid-back weekend look, pair your black jeans with loafers and a wool coat.
You can’t go wrong with a bright cropped cardigan and black high-waisted jeans.
Break up an all-black ensemble with a chic belt and gold jewelry.
Create a tonal look with charcoal jeans, black flats, and a grey sweater.
Tuck a slouchy sweater into vintage jeans for an easy-but–lived-in look.
