As someone who wears jeans more often than not, I’ve learned the hard way that certain styling colour combinations can elevate denim, while others leave it feeling a little flat. Forever on a mission to make my favourite pairs look that bit chicer, I’m always on the lookout for easy tricks that deliver maximum impact—and today, I spotted something special.
Sidestepping boring black and the seasonal pull of chocolate brown, Elsa Hosk elevated her denim with a colour pairing that feels refreshingly unexpected yet incredibly easy to wear. Teaming her straight-leg blue jeans with a supple suede jacket in a warm tan, she brought a dose of earthy richness to an otherwise casual look. Leaning fully into the palette, the model doubled down with tonal leather loafers and a compact tan bag to tie everything together.
Adding depth and warmth to denim, tan’s inherent richness brings an expensive-looking finish that instantly balances the laid-back nature of jeans. It’s a shade that plays beautifully with gold jewellery, enhancing the overall elegance while still grounding the outfit.
It’s one of the chicest styling formulas I’ve come across this season. Below, discover my edit of the most polished tan layers and accessories to recreate Elsa’s look, along with the best jeans to pair them with.
