9 Simple Jeans-and-Jacket Outfits I'll Live in This Spring

As a new season begins to take shape, I slowly start figuring out which outfit combinations I'll be reliant on. This spring, the process is already well underway, because I've spotted so many great jeans-and-jacket looks on Instagram that tick all my boxes.

Firstly, an outfit involving jeans is already off to a strong start. No other item is as beloved in my wardrobe for its versatility and comfort (once you get past the wearing-in phase). But I've also been keen to try out all the jacket trends on my radar lately. From Chanel-esque bouclé designs to structured blazers, it definitely feels like there's more choice than ever. As an outerwear obsessive, it's as if these trends were tailor-made for me—and I shouldn't be surprised that my current Instagram saved folder is mainly made up of jeans-and-jacket pairings. It was unintentional, I swear.

After noticing this pattern, it seemed only fair to share the bookmarked looks with you. So, I've rounded them up and recreated my favourites using pieces from high-street and luxury brands. You know what to do.

1. Vest + Blazer + Ultra-Wide Jeans

Style Notes: Why have I never thought of layering a vest over a blazer before? Genius.

8. Leather Jacket + Baggy Jeans + Sneakers

Style Notes: Leather jackets and blue jeans have worked together for decades, but this outfit is proof the combo can still be interpreted in a contemporary way.

9. Padded, Printed Jacket + Relaxed Jeans

Style Notes: Padded jackets in pretty floral prints or patchwork are a great transitional layer. Wear yours with your favourite relaxed-fit jeans and trainers or heeled boots as well as a shirt or cardi now, before swapping in a tee and sandals come summer.
