The Style Essentials That Will Elevate Your Relaxed Jeans
By ALEXANDRA RODRIGUEZ
Blazer
Blazers can be paired with relaxed jeans, a basic tee, and some heels for the perfect brunch outfit. Blazers make any casual outfit into a chic one, so pair a blazer with a button-up shirt, relaxed jeans, and a pair of heels for a date night look.
Leather Jacket
A leather jacket is the perfect addition for a cool and edgy outfit. A cropped leather jacket is the perfect balance to baggy jeans, but if you want to pair an oversized leather jacket with baggy jeans, wear a fitted top so the outfit doesn’t look too bulky.
Crop Top
When the weather is warmer and you want to show a little skin, the simplest way to dress up your casual jeans is to wear a crop top. You can even cover it with a button-up, either fully or partially tucked in, or left unbuttoned to reveal your crop top.
Denim Jacket
Wear denim on denim, but make sure they are the same wash of denim so the tones don’t clash. Wear light wash jeans and a light wash jean jacket like the picture above, and pair it with black boots to give a nice contrast.
Trench Coat
Trench coats are perfect for enhancing and styling any outfit for any event, and because they are lighter than traditional longline coats, you may wear them throughout the year. A trench coat is appropriate for a coffee run, a supper with friends, and an evening stroll around the city.
