When it comes to modern wardrobe staples, the blazer currently ranks high on that list of must-haves. Naturally, denim—especially skinny and straight-leg jeans—also falls in that "essentials” category. So when you pair the two together, well, let’s just say you have yourself one of the ultimate classic looks. And that’s particularly true when you team the two staples with a few other specific pieces. As celebrities such as Hailey Bieber and Jennifer Aniston have showcased over the last few months, the top items to wear with a blazer and jeans right now just so happen to be a simple tee or turtleneck and some sort of heels (typically either booties or heeled sandals).
That’s right. If you want to keep your blazer 'fit feeling forward in spring 2020, it’s really just about bringing it back to the basics with simple coordinating pieces. To showcase some of the freshest elevated-casual looks, we rounded up five chic ways celebs are wearing their blazers and jeans right now.
