Fashion People Will Wear These Spring Items With Jeans and Leggings

If you were to list items in your wardrobe that you'd consider true staples, there's a strong chance jeans and leggings would be included in the mix. Yep, you just can't deny the versatility of these A+ basics. Sure, you may have a few items you typically wear with your jeans and leggings, but if you're looking for a bit of inspiration as we head into spring, the below info is for you.
After going through the feeds of some of my favorite fashion follows that also consistently post denim and legging outfits, it became evident that there are actually four specific spring items that stood out as being go-to's for many. Yes, I'm talking simple pieces that pair flawlessly with both jeans (of all types) and leggings (trendy split-hem picks included). Keep scrolling for a range of inspiration.
1. Quilted Jackets
Quilted jackets (or "cloud coats") will continue to be an outerwear front-runner for a casual yet forward choice to wear with leggings.
Buttoning the top button of a quilted jacket is quite cool and takes a simple denim outfit to the next level.
2. Oversize White Shirts
The oversize white button-down shirt has been a go-to for many, and it will continue to be for spring—so chic with leggings.
Consider teaming a relaxed white shirt with a classic white tee for a layered look with straight-leg jeans.
3. Knit Polos
Need a simple yet stylish outfit idea? Go for a trendy knit polo with your favorite leggings.
A short-sleeve polo is elevated with a pair of high-waisted distressed jeans.
4. Striped Sweaters
This ensemble is top-notch with the modern striped sweater paired with the oversize blazer and split-hem leggings.
A loose sweater is easy and polished with darker-wash jeans.
