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.
SHOP THE LOOK:
A piece that holds the power to transform pretty much any outfit.
2. Tweed Jacket + Straight-Leg Jeans + Slingbacks
Style Notes: Tweed jackets are dominating Instagram right now—style yours with jeans for a fun juxtaposition.
SHOP THE LOOK:
3. Blazer + White Jeans + Sneakers
Style Notes: White jeans always feel quite casual, don't you think? So they're an obvious choice if you want to dress down your blazers.
SHOP THE LOOK:
4. Denim Jacket + Cargo Jeans + White Tank
Style Notes: I think the ‘Canadian tuxedo’ works especially well with light-wash denim. So fresh for spring.
SHOP THE LOOK:
Made from a sustainable blend of organic and recycled cotton.
Agolde's denim is so flattering, so it makes sense that it's an influencer-favourite.
5. Shacket + Skinny Jeans + Ballet Flats
Style Notes: A shacket is the perfect springtime layer, and it just so happens to complement classic blue jeans and ballet flats.
SHOP THE LOOK:
The ballet flat craze is showing no signs of slowing down—this affordable pair is a great option if you haven't yet invested.
6. Bomber Jacket + Blue Jeans + Heeled Boots
Style Notes: For chilled-out weekend afternoons, there's no better team than a bomber jacket and your best-fitting pair of jeans.
SHOP THE LOOK:
I've only heard good things about Abercrombie's jeans.
7. Quilted Jacket + Slim-Leg Jeans + Ugg Boots
Style Notes: As we navigate this awkward between-season weather, a quilted jacket will keep you warm without weighing you down. The same goes for Uggs.
SHOP THE LOOK:
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.
SHOP THE LOOK:
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.
SHOP THE LOOK:
Wear this over sweatshirts, tees, blouses and dresses.
