We're making our way through winter, but there's still plenty of the season left to enjoy sweaters and coats—which means it's about time to think about revitalizing our weekly outfit rosters.
Let's not make life too difficult for ourselves. Instead of overhauling all your fashion habits, start by tweaking your existing go-to looks. As a team, we Who What Wear writers are guilty of living in jeans. We know we're not the only ones. Scanning Instagram this week, I've noticed that pretty much every influencer I follow is just as reliant on denim as I am. It makes sense. No other trousers are quite as versatile, seasonless, and suited to everyday wear.
So let's start there. Instead of reaching for your tired T-shirts and worn-out ankle boots after buttoning up your favorite jeans, try out some of the fresh combinations below.
1. Red Knitwear + Black Jeans + Sneakers
Style Notes: In case you missed it, red is the color trend that keeps on giving. If you're worried about how to make a bold hue look chic, take cues from Anouk and pair it with simple staples like black denim and a classic coat.

A red knit is just what my winter wardrobe was missing.
These straight-leg jeans are perfection.
I can see the entire WWW team in this coat.
These sneakers are a good alternative to the brand's often-sold-out Sambas.
2. Cozy Sweater + Blue Jeans + Ballet Flats
Style Notes: This look may be simple, but that doesn't mean it isn't über-stylish. A cozy navy knit with blue jeans always looks good, and I love how Marianne has paired the duo with classic ballet flats and a neckerchief.
SHOP THE LOOK
Some of the best knitwear this winter can be found at under $100.
I love the fit of these jeans.
So chic.
3. Double Denim + Ballet Flats
Style Notes: This is your sign to jump on the Canadian tuxedo bandwagon. Yes, it's back, and it works wonderfully with another major trend: ballet flats.
SHOP THE LOOK
I'll forever love the look of a denim jacket layered over an outfit. It's so '90s.
Once you wear these jeans in, they'll become your favorites.
An easy way to wear the ballet-flats trend.
4. Leather Blazer + High-Waisted Jeans + Heeled Boots
Style Notes: If you needed further proof that leather blazers are the epitome of cool, this outfit by Natasha Ndlovu will surely sway you.
SHOP THE LOOK
I haven't seen nearly enough hype around this blazer.
This subtle distressing will make your look infinitely cooler.
Sleek and seasonless.
5. Bomber Jacket + Button-Down + Straight-Leg Jeans
Style Notes: If you're heading on a night out or just don't want to wear a bulky wool coat, a bomber will be your best friend. It just so happens that this trending layer looks great with jeans.
SHOP THE LOOK
I love how minimal this jacket is. Style it simply or jazz it up with bright accessories.
It doesn't get more versatile than a striped button-down.
These look incredibly cool.
6. Sheer Top + Loose Jeans + Pointed-Toe Flats
Style Notes: Sporting sheer fabrics might understandably feel outside your comfort zone, so styling a see-through top casually with jeans is a smart way to ease yourself in.
SHOP THE LOOK
You could create a fun layered look around this piece.
Straight-leg jeans are still just as relevant as ever.
Who needs heels when you've got these sleek flats?
7. Black Jeans + Black Coat + Chunky Boots
Style Notes: Monikh proves that a dark, tonal look will serve you well during the cold months. This combo is the perfect balance between casual and polished thanks to the addition of a smart black coat and gorgeous shoulder bag.
SHOP THE LOOK
I just know you'll love and wear this classic black coat for years to come.
The color is a dream.
The coolest pair of jeans I've seen.
Very into this shape.
