Bare-Leg Season Can Wait—I'm Rotating These Stylish Spring Jeans Looks Instead

Melissa Epifano
Even if spring has officially arrived, it doesn't necessarily mean it's bare-leg season. In the lead-up to summer, you can often expect sunshine one minute and freezing rain the next. That's British springtime for you—completely unpredictable. Even if the weather is working in your favour, not everyone wants to kiss their jeans goodbye just yet. The answer to all of these problems lies in copying this year's denim trends and adapting them for spring.
A great pair of jeans is the hero of any wardrobe, and they're one of the easiest types of trousers to style. Working them into spring-ready outfits is easy. The secret is pairing them with tops, blouses and jackets that are easy to layer so you'll be prepared for whatever the day throws at you, especially if you're spending time outdoors at the mercy of the elements. Better yet, we’re pretty sure you’ll be able to assemble such looks with items you already own.
From styling cosy cardigans to rethinking how you wear sundresses, the following spring jeans outfits will satisfy your fashionable needs until baring your legs becomes a feasible option. Scroll on for top-tier examples and shop our picks if you have any missing pieces.
1. Straight Jeans + Cardigan
Style Notes: We can always count on Monikh when we're in need of a dose of off-duty outfit inspiration. Her straight-leg jeans look chic when worn with an elegant shoulder bag and minimalistic sandals. Wear a vest underneath so you'll feel prepped if things warm up.
Shop the Look:
2. Collared Blouse + Wide-Leg Jeans
Style Notes: Wide-leg jeans and collared blouses are two of spring's key buys. Put them together, and what do you get? An outfit that'll serve you well for the next six months and beyond.
Shop the Look:
Frilly collars and sleeve cuffs are a fun spin on your standard blouse.
The easiest way to elevate your jeans? Strappy sandals of course.
3. Sundress + Flares
Style Notes: This trend hailing from the noughties has received an ethereal upgrade this year thanks to the Chloé show last month. Rather than shrugging a dress over top of your favorite pair of jeans, unbutton the bottom of a lightweight sundress and layer it. It serves as a duster, dress, and blouse all in one. With boho styles, this takes on an air of the '70s.
Shop the Look:
Wear unbuttoned over jeans or as is when the weather gets better.
4. Knit Cardigan + White Heels
Style Notes: While many French women say they steer clear of jeans, Anne-Laure Mais isn't one of them. Somehow, she always manages to make denim look impossibly polished. She even makes this ripped pair look chic with the addition of white mules and a classic cable-knit cardigan.
Shop the Look:
5. Monochrome + Minimal Jewellery
Style Notes: Far from basic, monochrome outfits have remained a constant throughout years of trend cycles. One of the easiest ways to channel this look is with a pair of white or ecru jeans and a plain black T-shirt. Just add your favourite gold-tone jewels and simple accessories.
Shop the Look:
The T-shirt is made from a thicker fabric, so it's ideal for those chillier spring days.
6. Jean Jacket + Wide-Leg Jeans
Style Notes: Jean jackets are spring essentials — they offer just enough warmth whilst we still try to shake off winter but aren't as heavy as our puffers and wool coats. Pair with wide-leg jeans for that denim-on-denim look that's forever a classic combination.
Shop the Look:
7. Distressed Denim + Fisherman Sandals
Style Notes: Sasha Mei has a knack for making her low-key pieces look so elevated, which is exactly what she's managed to do with this distressed denim ensemble. Her luxe leather fisherman sandals and high-end arm candy lift her jeans-and-tank combo.
Shop the Look:
A ribbed vest is non-negotiable for spring dressing, and it can be elevated so easily.
The distressed hems on these jeans look more authentic than strategically placed.
These fisherman sandals strike the perfect balance between comfortable and luxurious.
