I believed I'd paired jeans with everything, but these 7 spring trends are refreshing denim once more.
Celebrate, spring has arrived! This means it’s the perfect time for refreshing our outfits. I feel like I've been in jeans constantly for ages, but as a denim enthusiast, I won't be letting go of my favorite jeans anytime soon. Fortunately, spring is a wonderful transitional season that allows me to hold onto my beloved denim while bringing it back to life with new styling options. Farewell to chunky knits and wool coats, and hello to light layers and vibrant colors. The onset of the new season also brings a reset of top trends, and while spring is undeniably full of dress and skirt inspirations, there are numerous options that pair perfectly with jeans. This wardrobe essential can serve as an excellent base for many of the season’s must-have pieces, from essential colors to trending styles.
This spring, it seems that trends are embracing classic styles, with a nostalgic nod to preppy looks among many of the top selections. From boat shoes suitable for a yacht to barn jackets that fit a countryside theme, refined and timeless pieces are dominating the trend landscape. They work particularly well with denim, elevating jeans of all colors. Here are my top picks for the best trends to breathe new life into your favorite jeans this spring.
**The Best Spring Trends to Wear With Jeans:**
1. **Barn Jackets**
**Style Notes:** My favorite aspect of spring is trading in the heavy wool coats that I've relied on for far too long for a variety of lighter jackets. This season, the nostalgic barn jacket is leading the trend for lightweight, versatile spring outerwear, adding a classic, understatedly preppy touch to your favorite denim ensembles.
**Shop the Trend:**
- **Reformation**: Archer Denim Jacket for a refreshed double denim look.
- **TOTEME**: Corduroy-Trimmed Coated-Canvas Jacket, a minimalist’s essential jacket for spring.
- **ASOS DESIGN**: Washed Barn Jacket with Leather Look Collar; its slouchy fit pairs well with straight-leg denim.
- **DÔEN**: Pascual Corduroy-Trimmed Cotton Jacket for those wanting a crisp white this season.
- **ARKET**: Lined Canvas Jacket; versatile enough to style with nearly any spring outfit.
- **BURBERRY**: Corduroy-Trimmed Cotton-Twill Jacket; its cropped fit makes it ideal for high-waisted jeans.
2. **Animal Print Flats**
**Style Notes:** What I adore about outfits centered around jeans is their simplicity—just throw on a white t-shirt and jacket, and you're good to go. However, to keep things interesting, an accessory is key. This spring, animal print flats are the way to spice things up, whether you choose leopard, zebra, or cow patterns.
**Shop the Trend:**
- **& Other Stories**: Almond-Toe Ballerina Flats, perfect with black or white jeans.
- **Reformation**: Prudence Ballet Flat.
- **Sezane**: Matilda Ballerinas; for a classic vibe, opt for a leather snakeskin texture.
- **ZARA**: Animal Print Fabric Ballet Flats for a Scandi-inspired style.
- **LE MONDE BERYL**: Stella Leopard-Print Ribbed Velvet Mary Jane Ballet Flats; style with blue jeans and a white shirt for a chic look.
- **AEYDE**: Uma Snake-Effect Leather Ballet Flats.
3. **Hourglass Blazer**
**Style Notes:** For a more polished denim look, consider pairing with the hourglass blazer. With its 50s-inspired silhouette, the cinched waist creates a stunning outline when worn with straight leg jeans.
**Shop the Trend:**
- **ALIGNE**: Daphne Waisted Boucle Blazer.
- **Malina**: Carol Wool Blend Blazer, which also looks chic with tailored trousers.
- **ZARA**: Fitted Round Neck Blazer; the round neckline enhances the vintage appeal.
4. **Unbuttoned Shirt**
**Style Notes:** This may be more of a styling trick than a trend, but the crisp shirt is back, and it’s best worn with the top few buttons undone. This relaxed shirt look with jeans creates an effortless, Parisian-inspired vibe that many aspire to replicate.
**Shop the Trend:**
- **COS**: Oversized Tailored Shirt, a blue shirt as a spring essential.
- **With Nothing Underneath**: The Classic: Weave, White, a versatile shirt for any occasion.
- **DISSH**: Palma Cream Silk Blend Shirt; pair with jeans this spring and the matching shorts in summer.
- **TOTEME**: Striped Cotton and Silk
