There's a Good Chance I'll Be Wearing These 5 Simple Items With Jeans for Spring

There are several fashion pieces that will never go out of style, and jeans are one of them. Denim is a mainstay because of its ease, its cool factor, and the fact that it's universally appealing thanks to the endless number of styles available. You can wear jeans with just about anything, but my favorite things to wear with jeans are all stylish, simple items.

These days, I am all for looks that take little to no effort, and as we enter into spring, I am keeping this in mind. While outfit planning for the new season, it is clear that jeans will be on heavy rotation, and I've begun to narrow down my top simple picks to help round out each look.
