As cold weather continues on, it's no surprise a lot of us will take the easy route and reach for our reliable wardrobe essentials. You know, the blazer that'll never let you down—from work to weekend plans—and the white T-shirt that has been worn, and washed, more times than we could count. Then there are jeans. Which, if I am honest, I reach for nearly every day of the week.
It's true. Jeans are one of the easiest options when getting dressed, but that doesn't mean they have to be boring. And I'm going to show you a whole host of simple (but again, not-boring) ways to wear some of the best pairs, from the grey jeans that'll tick off one of this season's key colours to wide-leg pairs with boots. Here's your guide on ways to freshen up your outfits with jeans this season.
