Jeans Are the Foundation of My Capsule Wardrobe—13 Fresh Ways I'm Styling Them for Spring
Jazzria Harris
Could it be? Are the blue sky days of spring are just around the corner? After what’s felt like the longest, greyest (and coldest!) winter, I’m sure we’re all looking forward to the change of season—at last. But, as us Brits know, spring is highly unpredictable. A cheering series of sunny days can quickly be interrupted by a sudden downpour, and so, in large part thanks to this, I can’t help but think that jeans will continue to be my daily go-to.
All is not lost however. The brilliant thing about jeans, after all, is that they are incredibly versatile and, these days, denim is a more than acceptable sartorial choice for most situations, even the office when styled smartly.
Trending wide-leg jeans can be paired with a classic white t-shirt and trainers for a casual day look, while the newly popular barrel leg silhouette can be dressed up with heels and a blazer for evening plans. Plus, with a few clever accessory switches, these looks can continue to be a part of your rotation without feeling like you’re endlessly outfit repeating too.
The most important thing is to find a pair of jeans that feels just right, giving you the silhouette that will imbue you with confidence. Fortunately, these days the options are truly endless, and there are seriously good options for every price range. High-street staples like Mango, H&M and COS make some of the best denim around—just ask our editors.
After doing some extensive Instagram scrolling, I’ve discovered plenty of outfit inspiration for making the trusty jeans feel exciting again. From the classic spring looks to chic new outfits incorporating some of 2025’s top trending styles, scroll on to find my pick of the best ensembles I’ll be replicating this season.
Chic Yet Easy Spring Outfits With Jeans In 2025
1. Suede Jacket + Black Jeans + Ballet Pumps
Style Notes: When it comes to spring outerwear, a suede jacket is such a chic option that will instantly elevate your jeans. And when paired with the still-trending ballet flat, the whole look has a certain French flair offering minimalist elegance at its best.

2. Bouclé Jacket + Wide-Leg Jeans + Flats
Style Notes: You know teamBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing are huge fans of bouclé jackets, which continue to be one of the most popular jacket choices for today’s fashion lovers. I love how Abi has dressed down the polished look of the jacket with wide-leg jeans, one of this season’s top trending denim styles.
Shop the Look:
3. Waistcoat + Straight-Leg Jeans + Loafers
Style Notes: This is preppy meets casual at its very best. A simple waistcoat makes straight-leg denim look that bit more polished, and loafers are the flat that just keep on giving. Add a matching blazer for cooler days.
Shop the Look:
4. Blazer + Cardigan + Blue Jeans
Style Notes: My kind of spring layering. Cardigans worn as tops keep popping up on my Instagram feed, and I’m absolutely sold on the look. Adding a blazer ups the elegance, and in my opinion makes it work appropriate.
Shop the Look:
5. Leather Blazer + Baggy Jeans + Slingback Heels
Style Notes: Aside from a suede jacket, a leather blazer is my other new season outerwear must-have. The combination of the leather and denim texture looks so effortlessly cool, and adding slingback heels really completes the whole look.

I'm a big fan of Khaite's denim.
6. Denim Shirt + Matching Jeans + Slingbacks
Style Notes: The Canadian tuxedo isn’t going anywhere in 2025. Keep it city chic by styling with a low heel and a a luxe bag.
Shop the Look:
7. Silky Shirt + Lightwash Jeans + Suede Tote
Style Notes: The jeans-and-shirt is a classic combination that always looks good. But this season, I’m swapping my staple cotton button-down for a silky alternative. And I love how Jessica has played with textures by adding a suede bag. I'll definitely be copying that.
Shop the Look:
8. Jumper + Barrel-Leg + Colour Pop Trainers
Style Notes: A colourful trainer is the easiest and most joyful way to make a denim look feel fresh. Complete with a shirt and jumper and you’re set.
Shop the Look:
9. Leather Coat + Indigo + Colourful Heels
Style Notes: On colder spring days, you’ll want something more than a jacket or blazer. Enter the leather trench, which is both warm and weather-proof—and looks especially good with jeans.
Shop the Look:
10. Sculptural Bustier + Cropped Jeans + Flat Mules
Style Notes: On the opposite end of the fashion spectrum, for warmer days consider balancing out the heaviness of denim with a bustier top. This sculptural design is really elevated, while the French-approved slides give the whole ensemble a beautifully effortless feel.
Shop the Look:
11. Cardigan + Wide-Leg Jeans + Mary Janes
Style Notes: As our favourite influencers keep proving, wide-leg jeans are an incredibly versatile denim silhouette. One of the top ways to wear them this season? With the classic flat that is making a major comeback: the Mary-Jane.
Shop the Look:
12. Sweatshirt + High-Waisted Jeans + Trainers
Style notes: Pastel tones are synonymous with spring and luckily they work perfectly with pale blue denim. Sandwich your jeans between brighter hues like Yasmin does here for a cohesive look.
Shop the look:
13. Sweater Vest + Striped Shirt + White Jeans
Style Notes: Now’s the time to break out the white denim. Follow Louisa's lead and opt for light layers by styling with a simple shirt and a sweater vest.
