Keep scrolling to discover the seven fresh spring trends breathing new life into classic jeans.
If there’s one staple I know I can rely on year after year, regardless of the season, it's my jeans. Come winter, spring, summer, or autumn, denim trousers have remained my first port of call on those days when I’m stuck on what to wear. And though there are a number of chic jeans trends that are set to be huge in 2026, I’ll be honest and say that I’m unlikely to branch out from the classic blue pairs that I currently own.
Now, I already know that classic denim works well with my "basics”, from cosy cashmere sweaters to smart wool coats. But I have to admit, this has started to feel a little too “samey” even for a minimalist like myself. So, for the new year, I’m on the hunt for some slightly trendier ways to style my jeans that feel just that little bit more elevated. I’ve therefore decided to focus on seven key spring trends that can be paired with my timeless jeans to make them look and feel more “2026”.
So, if you, too, have slight denim fatigue and are wondering what to wear with them that doesn't feel too boring, keep scrolling to discover the seven spring 2026 trends to wear with jeans.
7 Spring Trends to Wear With Your Jeans in 2026
1. Lace-Trim Camisoles
Style Notes: The satin camisoles that dominated the early 2000s made their way back into our wardrobe last spring, but lace-trim details really took off towards the end of last year. Elevated but just as versatile as a classic tank top, this pretty top trend is sure to add a touch of elegance to your jeans.
