As much as we'd like to go bare-legs everyday, the UK weather is nothing if not unpredictable, meaning that there are those odd days where it's still not quite warm enough to go out sans trousers. Therefore, instead of defaulting to mini dresses and micro skirts that will leave us feeling cold, we'll be building our colder summer weather looks around jeans—for there is no item more up to the challenge of swiftly transitioning from cold to warm weather.
After all, jeans are timeless, easy to style and comfortable, and the outfit options are endless, making them the perfect day-to-day throw-on. However, if you feel like your denim ensembles are becoming a tad repetitive, we're here to help break you out of your rut.
We've found seven perfect casual outfits with jeans that will help you think outside the box. From the coolest ways to wear this year's loose-fitting denim to the wardrobe staples that always look great with jeans, we promise these outfits will keep you satisfied for months on end. Scroll below to see them and to shop any pieces you might need a refresh on.

Shop the Look:
A denim shirt with a twist.
The shape of these jeans is on point.
