The Easy Outfit Formula Our Editors Plan on Wearing All Winter
As far as outfit formulas go, there's nothing quite as easy to throw on in autumn and winter as jeans, boots, and a coat. It's an outfit that can take you seamlessly from Sunday brunch to an afternoon at the pub, and in late autumn, it's probably exactly what you're putting on each morning before you leave the house.
We're big advocates of this simple structure and tend to live in it through autumn and well into winter, mixing in a rotation of our favourite knits against various pairs of comfy jeans. Of course, each look is topped with a warm coat and a scarf or beanie, depending on how Arctic the temperatures are.
Last but not least are the boots. This item finishes the look and can be used to dress your outfit up or down. High-heeled boots will instantly elevate your look, making it office appropriate or great for a night out, while comfy flat boots are optimal for commuting or weekends spent wandering around parks.
The beauty of this outfit is that it's basically foolproof. We won't try to pretend that it's a rocket science outfit formula, but it definitely does make room for personal style. So mix and match prints if you please or double up on interesting textures because when it comes to the jeans-boots-jumper-coat outfit combination, you can't really go wrong. Scroll through below for our favourite ways to wear the look.
Jeans, Coats and Boots Outfit Ideas to Try This Winter:
1. Shearling Jacket + Straight-Leg Jeans + Pointed Boots
Style Notes: Shearling coats are all the rage this season and make for a natural pairing with straight-leg jeans and classic black ankle boots.
Shop the Look:
This is finally back in stock, but it won't stick around for long.
A never-date jeans style.
2. Trench Coat + Long Jeans + Kitten-Heel Boots
Style Notes: This coat, in a trench-like fabrication, couldn't be more Brit-looking if it tried. Worn with longer-length jeans and black kitten-heel boots, this look whispers "I'm on-trend" as opposed to shouting it.
Shop the Look:
3. Scarf Coat + White Jeans + Chelsea Boots
Style Notes: Black and white never fails to look sleek. Here, Jessica gives what could be deemed a summery denim trend a wintry overhaul with Chelsea boot and a trending scarf coat.
Shop the Look:
This colourway will also pair beautifully with shades of beige, grey and tan.
Barrel-leg jeans have been consistent on the fashion scene this year.
4. Maxi Coat + Grey Jeans + Low-Heel Boots
Style Notes: Maxi hemlines dominated the runways in the form of dresses and skirts. Now, they're taking over coats, too. We like how Ingrid has styled her full-length white style with grey jeans and black boots for a chic monochrome look.
Shop the Look:
The Frankie Shop has a beautiful selection of wool coats right now.
Look for grey or faded black jeans to give your look more dimension in contrast to a solid white coat.
We can't stop thinking about this Bottega clutch. So chic.
5. Shearling-Trim Coat + Light-Wash Jeans + Square-Toe Boots
Style Notes: Adenorah gives us a masterclass in downtime dressing with this shearling coat, jeans, and sqaure-toe boots ensemble. Pro tip: Turn up the hems of your jeans to avoid getting them damp on rainy days—you'll look stylish in doing so, too.
Shop the Look:
6. Camel Coat + Blue Jeans + Square-Toe Boots
Style Notes: What could be more classic than a camel coat? Styling it with timeless blue jeans then giving a nod to the current trends with some square-toe boots.
Shop the Look:
We've seen this in real life, and it just might be the best camel coat of the year.
Reformation has some solid boot styles to choose from. We advise checking them out ASAP.
7. Puffer Coat + Blue Jeans + Chunky Boots
Style Notes: The closest thing to leaving the house in a duvet is doing so in a puffer coat. We love how Lois has maximised on the comfort by pairing hers with a pair of chunky boots.
Shop the Look:
These jeans have gone viral on TikTok; perhaps it's time to see what all the fuss is about.
These are constantly selling out, but have just had a restock.
Loewe's best-selling Puzzle bag come in so many shades—simply choose your favourite!
8. Leather Trench + Wide-Leg Jeans + Suede Boots
Style Notes: Trench coats will always be a style mainstay, but leather trench coats? They're a whole different vibe. They're statement enough that you needn't put much thought into the rest of your outfit. Follow Olivia's lead by styling it with wide-leg jeans and some any-season suede boots.
Shop the Look:
When it comes to high-quality leather pieces, Whistles never fails us.
9. Wool Blazer + Slim-Fit Jeans + Pop of Colour Boots
Style Notes: On those days where the weather is slightly more mild, you can wear your wool blazer in place of a coat. Add a pair of trending burgundy boots to contrast the blue of your jeans, and you're all set.
