Spring is denim’s time to shine. Every fashion person I know usually orders a new pair of jeans or two for the new season, myself included. I look forward to styling my jeans all summer long, and now that spring is knocking on my front door, it’s time to start shifting my focus to all of the elevated ways I’m planning to wear jeans this season. I’m a former L.A. girl turned New Yorker, and one thing about living in Los Angeles is that everyone wears jeans all the time. So after two years in the City of Angels, I have racked up quite a collection of jeans. While I love a good pair of jeans, styling them can sometimes feel a little boring. This spring, my fashion intention is to be anything but. This led me to a deep dive into my social media feeds for all the chic ways to wear jeans under the sun, and six of them stood out to me above the rest.
Keep scrolling for all of the outfit formulas with jeans that I’m re-creating this spring.
1. Button-Down Shirt + Leather Belt
Style Notes: This outfit formula has been a go-to of mine for years. It’s almost a uniform for me when it comes to transitional season office looks. It’s easy, stylish, and the classiest way to wear denim. I’ll definitely be wearing this outfit on repeat this spring.

2. Lots of Layers + Heels
Style Notes: Layering season is upon us, and there’s nothing like a good layered look paired with jeans. I love how this look is styled above, taking a button-down, sweater, and jacket and topping the whole thing off with great heels. I love it—I have no notes.

When simplicity is the vibe, tailoring needs to be at the forefront, so make sure you’re picking your favourite high-quality white tank and your best-fitting jeans. This is totally the type of look I would wear to walk around NYC with my friends.
