As cold weather sets in, 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. While skinny jeans have taken a back seat this year (no one wants to feel restricted in super-tight denim), other styles are leading as the starting point to every great winter outfit we're finally ready to wear.
Sure, jeans are an easy option when getting dressed, but that doesn't mean they have to be boring. And we're going to show you a whole host of simple (but again, not-boring) ways to wear some of the best pairs, from the sliver jeans that'll tick off one of this season's key colours to wide-leg pairs with pumps. Here's your guide on ways to wear jeans for winter.
