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’s 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 flared jeans that’ll create a seventies-inspired ensemble when paired with faux fur, to the unlikely return of the baggy jean that has made us want to wear them with trainers once again. Here’s your guide on ways to wear jeans for winter, and how to recreate each look.
Style Notes: Delivering a full seventies retro vibe, Estelle can. do no wrong in this outfit. It’s a fact–flares and faux fur go hand-in-hand, and this look is our solid evidence. Find flares on the long side? Wear them with a stacked platform boot.
Style Notes: If you’ve already packed your white jeans away believing their a summer staple, dig them back out, stat. The base to a great monochrome ensemble, make them winter-ready with the hero knitted vest layered over a shirt, jumper or T-shirt.
Style Notes: Lifting any pair of jeans–no matter the weather–a bright coat is the answer to dull days. Grece goes matchy-matchy in the bag department and tops of the look-at-me outfit with leopard print heels. Genius.
Style Notes: Katie Holmes may have started off the bradigan co-ord, but we’re here to advise you to continue the trend. Not up for wearig a knitted bra/crop top in chilly weather? Make like Amira and layer over a T-shirt with your favourite pair of ecru jeans.
Style Notes: A great pair of grey jeans will be worn on heavy roation across all seasons. Keep them cool by wearing with luxe leather pieces and wardrobe classics just like Sylvie with her crisp, white shirt.
Style Notes: Baggy jeans are back and they’re bring all the early 00s vibes. Keep them laid-back with trainers and style just like Nnenne will zingy, clashing pieces to bring them back into 2021.
