Classic basics to pair with denims –

Trends may come and go, but denim is forever. As style people, we wear our classic blue jeans multiple times a week and tend to lean on them whenever we can’t think of something else to wear. Of course, they never really go out of style, but it doesn’t take an expert eye to see they’ve taken a back seat to other items like tailored trousers and maxi skirts in recent months. It all comes down to styling them with a few key items. Simple choices like accessories or shoes can make a world of difference. But don’t just take my word for it. Keep scrolling to see proof.

Ahead, I’m sharing seven trendier items and styling ideas that solve the mystery of how to make jeans feel cool in 2024. Happy Scrolling!!

Ballet flats with socks –

While ankle boots may be your first instinct to pair with jeans, ballet flats lend a French-inspired touch to the staple. To dress them up a tad more, layering a pair of socks or sheer tights is a fresh way to do it.

Skinny Belts –

A quick way to add instant polish? Adding a classic leather belt. It’s such a simple addition, but it really pulls a look together in seconds flat. Fashion people are wearing skinny belts more than any other kind, and they lend a refined feel to denim.

Burgundy Knits –

If you’re going to reach for a pop of color, why not try something that feels especially fresh, like burgundy? Try an easy basic like a sweater to do so, whether you wear it as is or drape it over your shoulders.

Scarf-Coats –

Scarf-coats are the coats of the season, so pairing one with jeans naturally makes for a very 2024 vibe.

Sweaters Over Tees –

If a sweater and jeans is your go-to formula this time of year, adding a white T-shirt underneath your knit is an easy way to add interest and dimension to the look while keeping it casual.

Fitted-waist Blazers –

A blazer and jeans is a combination that will go in the history books. It’s as timeless as ever. That’s why fashion people are freshening it up by opting for fitted-waist blazers that create an elegant silhouette.

Crisp Shirting –

Jeans, especially darker washes, feel more polished when you pair them with a business-casual element like a button-down shirt. It’s also the perfect outfit to wear to the office (if jeans are allowed at yours).
