These 7 Black Jeans Looks Will Have You Swapping Your Blue Denim in an Instant

When we talk about classic jeans, blue pairs often spring to mind, but I think black jeans are just as timeless, even if they don’t receive the same airtime as their vintage-wash counterparts. I always feel more pulled together and polished in black jeans, which I’d argue also transition from day to night more seamlessly due to their darker base colour.

Still, just like any outfit, black-jeans outfits can become repetitive if you let them. So in an attempt to stop them from becoming stale and tired, I’ve gone on the hunt for black-jeans outfits that are classic and chic and won’t let you down no matter where you’re going. Handily, there was a plethora of stylish looks to choose from, and my favourites are showcased below.

Whether you’re looking for new ways to freshen your style for winter or simply want some wardrobe inspiration, continue on to fill up on black-jeans-outfit ideas.

7 Chic Black Jeans Outfits to Take Inspo From:

1. Black Jeans + Red Jacket

Style Notes: Marilyn Nwawulor-Kazemaks is one of the chicest women on the internet, and this black jeans look is a great example of why—and a strong reminder than red and black work particularly well together.

2. Black Jeans + Trench Coat

Style Notes: We don't need to remind you of the endless versatility of a trusty trench coat, but Brittany Bathgate makes a good case for wearing one with black jeans. Shrug on a fine-knit jumper and you've got a polished outfit with minimal effort.

3. Black Jeans + Sweatshirt

Style Notes: The beauty of black jeans is that they can just as easily be dressed up as they can down. Monikh Dale expertly styles her wide-leg denim for the weekend with a comfy washed sweatshirt and statement belt, and it's certainly chic.

4. Black Jeans + Blazer

Style Notes: Not all office environments allow us to wear jeans, but black styles are often more likely to get a green light. One elevated styling solution? Follow Franny Fyne's lead and add a blazer and pointed-toe slingbacks.

5. Black Jeans + Wool Coat

Style Notes: Coat season has finally come back around and Loïcka Grâce's warming wool style is chic enough to make us forget about the cold (for a minute, at least). To channel the look, opt for a deep brown on olive shade layered over a simple white T-shirt.

6. Black Jeans + Leather Jacket

Style Notes: For a more laidback black jeans look, it's time to turn to a lived-in leather jacket—oversized, of course, to channel Lucy Williams' style. All that's left to add is a soft cotton shirt, ballet pumps and a more attention-grabbing studded belt. Simple.

7. Black Jeans + Cosy Knit

Style Notes: Just like Anouk Yve, we expect to be relying on cosy jumpers for the forseeable. Oversized styles in monochrome palettes add to the timelessness of this look, while the trending ballet flats add fashion-forward touch.
