I'm Reintroducing Dark Jeans Into My Wardrobe—5 Outfits I Want to Try First

Anyone who knows me knows that I don’t like wearing pants. No, not like that—it’s just that I wear shorts, skirts, and dresses up until the last degree of Fahrenheit possible. This takes me to the predicament that occurs come winter when my closet is filled with summer clothing, and all I have that’s remotely wintery is leather leggings. Now don’t get me wrong. Leather leggings are absolutely fabulous, but they have their limitations. I can’t wear them every single day, they aren’t always office-appropriate, and they don’t go with just anything. And then I found the solution: dark jeans.

Dark jeans are my new winter go-to. They immediately elevate any outfit and do so with comfort and ease. Plus, you can wear them with something as elegant as a silk blouse or something as cozy as a sherpa sweatshirt. I think, perhaps, one of my favorite things about dark jeans is that there’s no such thing as having too many. With such a variety of washes and styles, it’s easy to justify adding a new pair to your wardrobe. And everyone loves a good reason to do just that. Keep scrolling to see the five outfits I can’t wait to try first.

Sailor Chic

If Nantucket and Manhattan had a baby, this is what they would come out of the womb wearing.

Double Blue Denim

The blue on blue with a touch of brown is the perfect color combination. Not to mention how cozy this outfit looks.

Countryside Classics

This outfit is everything I dream of and more. Shop a pretty close replica below.

Leather Luxe Ft. Denim

Now this is my vibe. An all-black denim-and-leather ensemble is something I can get behind. NYFW, here I come.

Lounging With Flair

Yeah, I look this good when I lounge around my apartment, too (and I'm definitely not currently wearing a groutfit and fuzzy socks).
