An Outfit Idea for Every Type of Jeans You Own

Denim is one of those clothing categories that has so many style subcategories it can almost be considered a separate wardrobe. A long, sleek flare style provides the exact opposite feeling of a loose, baggy low-rise jean, while a skinny fit goes in a whole other direction. Since denim trends ebb and flow constantly, by now you've probably accumulated quite a few different denim styles in your closet that all provide a certain look and serve a particular purpose for your outfit combinations. 

Since springtime is one of denim's main seasons to shine, I thought it might be useful to round up some outfit ideas for each subcategory of your denim collection, since what pairs well with skinny jeans may not have the quite the same effect with wide-leg styles. This way you'll have a (hopefully new!) idea for every silhouette in your wardrobe—from the blazer-and-low-rise jeans combo that exudes cool to the chicest skinny jeans outfit I've ever seen. Below are 16 cool spring jean outfits for every style you own. 

Low-rise jeans are making a comeback in 2020—specifically baggy silhouettes. They may seem like an intimidating trend to try, but styling them is easier than it looks. If you're into the bra top trend, try pairing your favorite one with your baggy jeans and top it off with a blazer on top.
You can also opt for a longer tank top and oversize button-down to achieve a similar look without showing quite as much midriff. 
Bootcut jeans are one of those styles that fluctuate in popularity without ever truly going away. To make yours feel 2020, try pairing with a sleek bodysuit and chain jewelry like our managing editor Kristen did above. 
As always, when in doubt just add a blazer. The contrast between the oversize silhouette of the blazer with the slightly flared jeans makes for an ultra-chic combo. 
Straight-leg jeans are the easiest to style, in my opinion, because essentially anything you pair on top will be proportionate since the style is slim without being too tight. Whether it's something oversize or fitted on top, it's guaranteed to balance out nicely with a straight-leg style. I'm especially partial to this relaxed button-down, straight-leg jeans, and ankle boots pairing. 
It doesn't get more classic than a white tee, straight-leg denim, and cool boots.
Ecru denim is synonymous with springtime, and it's my favorite alternative to white jeans because they're much easier to style since the color isn't so stark. You can pair almost any color seamlessly with ecru-colored denim, but this brown coat, black t-shirt, and loafers combo is highly recommended.
A monochrome outfit is always a good idea, and this off-white version just feels so right.
Skinny jeans are another denim silhouette that's fairly easy to style since most items pair well with them, but it doesn't get easier (or cooler) than the classic tank-and-sneaker combo. 
Another easy combo that still feels thoughtful is to add a leather separate into the mix—this leather shirt brings just the right amount of polish to a simple jeans-and-tee look.
Cropped flares have taken a backseat to some other buzzy denim styles recently, but they're still a great option when you're looking for a polished outfit. I love this simple but chic combo of cropped flares, an oversize blazer, and nude flats.
This sweater-and-loafers combo is the ideal wear anywhere outfit.
Wide-leg jeans are another major 2020 denim trend, and my personal favorite at the moment—they feel both retro and modern at the same time. This combination of a long trench coat contrasted with a fitted shirt underneath and wide-leg jeans feels of-the-moment yet classic.
You can never go wrong with denim-on-denim, and the nostalgic nature of wide-leg jeans is the perfect opportunity to tap into that retro feeling the Canadian tuxedo brings.
I'm just going to go ahead and say it—flare jeans are the most flattering denim style out there (in my opinion). They can make your legs look miles long and the long hem gives you some extra height. I love this '90s-feeling combo of sneakers, flare jeans, and a blazer.
Another combo that's classic for a reason—flare jeans and a t-shirt are a match made in heaven. Throw on a textured jacket and you've got yourself one chic outfit.

I Tried the Viral One-Leg Jeans, and I Got Plenty of Stares

If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
