The Best Spring Trends to Wear With Jeans, According to a Fashion Editor

Rejoice, spring is here! And that means only one thing—time for some outfit refreshes. It feels like I’ve been living in jeans non-stop for seemingly forever, but as something of a denim devotee, I realistically won’t be giving up my favourite jeans any time soon. Luckily, spring is the brilliant kind of transitional season when you can hang on to beloved denim and make it feel new and exciting again by switching out the styling options. So long, chunky knits and wool coats, and hello light layers and warm pops of colour.

The start of the new season also means a reset of the top trends, and while spring is obviously flooded with dress and skirt inspiration, there are also plenty of options that are perfectly suited to pair with jeans. This wardrobe staple can form the ideal foundation for a number of this season’s must-haves, from need-to-know colours to trending pieces.

This spring, it feels like the trends are leaning toward the classics, with a kind of nostalgia for preppy looks running through many of the top picks. From the yacht-ready boat shoe to the countryside-worthy barn jacket, refined, classic staples are ranking high on the trending list. Turns out, they work especially well with denim, making jeans of all shades look a touch more elevated.
