When it comes to putting together a casual denim outfit, I have it down to a science (with the low-key wardrobe to fit), but lately, I've been yearning to bring my usual denim looks to the next level. Essentially, I am focused on giving my favourite jeans an elegant, more expensive-looking feel this season. When in need of inspiration, I, naturally, turn to my top fashion follows on Instagram to get a fresh set of styling tips. This latest perusal more than exceeded my expectations.

As we enter the winter of 2024, some particular elevated pieces are key in achieving an elegant denim outfit. This ranges from long coats to kitten heels and slingback heels to classic basics like tees and button-downs, loafers, cosy sweaters, and more. Ahead, I rounded up seven chic ways to wear jeans and broke down how to re-create each stylish look.
