6 Winter Items You Need If You Live In Jeans

As someone who lives in jeans year-round, I’ve found it not just helpful but crucial to update my stockpile of items that pair well my beloved denim each season. After all, as hard as it is to part with your favorite summer sandals or light spring jacket, it’s even harder to get dressed when you don’t have the right clothing for cold weather at arm’s reach, so making the switch is more-than worth it—trust me. So just what am I pairing with my jeans on the daily this season? Quite a bit, actually. From statement coats to chunky boots, just keep scrolling to see, read about, and, of course, shop the six pieces you definitely need to own if you’re not planning on giving your jeans a break this winter.

Editor-at-Large

Since starting as an intern back in 2013, Nicole Akhtarzad Eshaghpour has held several roles here at Who What Wear, and she is currently Editor-at-Large. It was a less expected route, seeing as she was graduating from business school at USC when this all began, but it has turned out to be the best one for her. Fast-forward to 2024, and she's moved to NYC from her hometown of Beverly Hills and spends her workdays a little differently from when she was an intern starting out. Currently, she focuses on a weekly mélange of shopping content. As far as her personal style goes, she's largely drawn to classic pieces and neutral basics but will always make an exception for something colorful, printed, or bejeweled as long as it's deemed worthy enough. After all, the only thing she loves more than a good party is dressing up for one. On weekdays, she can usually be found at home eating something delicious for dinner and trying to force her husband to watch Summer House.
