The best time of the year is officially here—it’s cute top season. We’re right on the brink of being able to ditch our jackets to show off our favorite tops that have been covered up for months. This also means the most classic outfit combination has entered the chat: a cute top and jeans. Text any of your friends for outfit advice before a night out and you’re virtually guaranteed to get at least one response featuring this combo. It strikes the perfect balance of polished yet comfortable, chic but approachable. It’s a classic for a reason.
This season’s denim style of choice is a baggier silhouette, making it just a bit trickier to style since you need to keep proportions in mind. A good rule of thumb when styling something with more volume on the bottom is to pair it with something more fitted on top—the juxtaposition is quite flattering. That’s not to say you can’t pair baggy jeans with an oversize top (I personally love them paired with a relaxed button down) but if you’re hesitant on where to start with loose denim, this combination is always chic. To help streamline your styling I’ve curated a collection of seriously cute tops to pair with loose jeans. From corsets to strapless styles to 90s silhouettes, below are the 30 best spring tops to wear with baggy jeans.
