When it comes to putting together a casual denim outfit, I have it down to a science (with the low-key wardrobe to fit), but lately, I’ve been yearning to bring my usual denim looks to the next level. Essentially, I am focused on giving my favorite jeans an elegant, more expensive-looking feel this season. When in need of inspiration, I, naturally, turn to my top fashion follows on Instagram to get a fresh set of styling tips. This latest perusal more than exceeded my expectations.
As we enter the winter of 2024, some particular elevated pieces are key in achieving an elegant denim outfit. This ranges from long coats to kitten heels and slingback heels to classic basics like tees and button-downs, loafers, cozy sweaters, and more. Ahead, I rounded up seven chic ways to wear jeans and broke down how to re-create each stylish look.
Style Notes: Marilyn Nwawulor-Kazemaks elevates her classic ankle-length jeans with chunky hoop earrings, a long black coat, a red suede shoulder bag, burgundy socks, and black loafers.
A small touch that has a big impact.

Under $100? Yes, please.
Style Notes:Sasha Mei is the epitome of effortless in an oversize white button-down shirt, a mini woven bag, relaxed light-wash jeans, and crystal-embellished mule pumps.

This goes with everything.

Style Notes:Clara Dyrhauge is known for her elevated minimalist looks, and this dark-wash-denim outfit is no different with the help of a white tee, a belted trench coat, and black slingback kitten heels.
