9 Denim Outfit Trends So Many Stylish 30-Somethings Wear

Not that women in other age groups don't have some impeccable denim outfits up their sleeves (they definitely do), but today we're focusing on 30-somethings' (well-dressed celebs, specifically) denim outfits. The reason? In your 30s, you've probably discovered what types of outfits and denim styles you feel most comfortable in, but you're still fully open to outfit experimentation. (This is coming from a 30-something.) These two things combined make for a lot of pretty great outfits.
In and of themselves, jeans are actually pretty boring, but the beauty of them comes from the fact that they're very versatile and can work with so many many different outfit trends. Speaking of outfit trends, we counted nine, in particular, that we always see women in their 30s wear with jeans. From Chrissy Teigen to Rihanna, scroll on for all the denim inspiration you could ask for, and shop the outfits that will help you to copy said trends.
