When we talk about classic jeans, it’s often blue pairs that spring to mind, but I think black jeans are just as timeless—even if they don’t receive the same airtime as their vintage-wash counterparts. Personally speaking, I always feel more pulled-together and polished in black jeans, which, I’ll argue, also transition from day to night more seamlessly, owning to their darker base colour.
Still, just like any other jeans, black jeans outfits can become repetitive if you let them. So, in an attempt to stop them from becoming stale and tired, I’ve gone on the hunt for black jeans outfits that are classic, chic, and won’t let you down, wherever you might be going. Handily, there were a plethora of stylish looks to choose from; my favourites of which I’ve showcased below.
