Black jeans are a staple in any wardrobe, and for good reason. They’re versatile, timeless, and easy to dress up or down. But for Gen Z, black jeans are more than just a basic wardrobe item. If you’ve ever wondered what to wear with black jeans, the truth is they can be styled in countless ways to reflect your personal style and make a bold fashion statement.
First, let’s talk about the fit: Black jeans come in all different cuts, from skinny to straight to wide-leg. The trick is to shop for a fit that not only looks good on you but also boosts your self-esteem. For a more polished and put-together appearance, skinny black jeans are the way to go, while wide-leg black jeans are a great way to make a dramatic and on-trend statement.
Let’s go on to discuss outfits for them. If you’re going out for the night, nothing beats a pair of black jeans as your foundation piece. Dress them up for a night on the town by adding a jacket and shoes. A bright necklace or pair of earrings can add a splash of color and an additional dose of flare to any outfit.
Try a denim jacket over a white t-shirt and black jeans for a laid-back vibe. This timeless pairing is ideal for a day of errands or a brunch get-together with friends. Conversely, put on some sneakers for a casual feel, or a pair of boots to step up the toughness quotient.
Black denim is a great foundational piece for any streetwear ensemble. Dress them up with a graphic top or an oversized sweater and a pair of chunky boots for a hip and edgy look. Give your outfit a boost by using a bold belt or trendy eyeglasses. For outfit inspiration, continue scrolling!
1. With a Tank Top
Ashley Benson is the epitome of a modern, forward-thinking girl. Her style is always on point, and she’s never afraid to try something new.
For this ensemble, the actress is dressed for a night out on the town in a pair of black jeans with distressing at the knees and a white tank top.
To make it your own, take a classic pair of skinny jeans—like these ones from Rag & Bone—and pair them with a white tank and leather tote bag. You don’t need any more than that; just stick with everyday basics and add some accessories as needed!
2. With a T-Shirt
Kendall Jenner has traded in her bikinis for some mules for this look!
The supermodel was seen stepping out in Los Angeles wearing black everything: jeans, a t-shirt, sunglasses, and even her purse. But her footwear was what really caught our attention: Kendall was wearing Khaite’s Downing Buckle Mules in black.
These minimalist shoes are the perfect accessory for any outfit, whether you’re going for a casual look or something more elegant. And they’re just so easy to wear!
3. With a Jean Jacket
This look is all about the details. The black distressed jeans are a classic, but they’re so well-made that they can work anywhere—and you’ll feel like you’ve stepped into the future when you wear them.
The cropped tank is just the right length to show off your midriff while the chain-shoulder bag gives you that extra touch of glamour that makes every outfit look polished.
4. With a Corset
The perfect outfit for a night out on the town, this elegant ensemble will have you feeling like a princess. The strapless corset is the perfect combination of classic and sexy, and the black jeans will help to balance out any high-heel-induced wobbliness.
Finish off this look with some chic earrings that show off your neckline, and you’ll be ready to conquer any room!
5. With a Sheer Top
While out and about in New York City, Kourtney Kardashian was seen wearing a see-through green top by Gaultier that was imprinted with a Venus de Milo figure. She completed her pastiche outfit, which paid homage to Gaultier’s heyday, with small shades, cropped black pants, black booties, and a bohemian baguette bag.
Kourtney obviously knows what she’s doing when it comes to fashion, as she clearly took cues for her outfit from his wacky designs from the 1980s and early 1990s, when he was at the height of his fame. Putting together this ensemble was all about expressing your individuality via your sense of style and making a statement.
6. With a Blazer
Emily Ratajkowski is the definition of the word “cool.” She’s got it all—she’s an actress, she’s a model, and she’s got a killer sense of style.
Her look of the day was sleek and modern. She wore a belted plaid jacket with black jeans and a pair of white boots. Emily’s white shoes featured a stiletto heel and three straps going across the front. The star accessorized it with a Prada bag and delicate gold necklaces.
7. With a Coat
Priyanka Chopra is here to remind you that it’s still winter, but she’s not letting that stop her from being a total boss in a snakeskin-print blouse, black skinnies, and knee-high boots.
It all works together seamlessly, and we love how she added pops of color with her coat and belt.
8. With a Flannel
If you’re looking for a weekend outfit that’s going to make you feel like the boss of your own life, this is it.
You’ll start with a simple pair of black jeans. But then, we’ve got a surprise for you: distressing on the thighs! Just enough to give it some edge without being too much.
Then, top it off with a crop top that shows just enough skin to keep things interesting while still maintaining the professional vibe of your ensemble.
Finish off the look with a flannel—it always falls in your mind when you wear one of these—and chunky sneakers so you can get around town without worrying about getting caught in traffic jams or stepping on any toes (literally).
9. With a Keyhole Top
We all know the key to a good outfit is mixing it up, but sometimes you just want to wear black. So why not do it in style?
These black wide-leg jeans with a keyhole top and boots are one of those outfits that have you covered whether you’re going out for drinks with friends or meeting your lover for lunch at the café down the street.
Not to mention, you can turn up the heat with a white clutch and chunky earrings.
10. With a Button Down
Even though the supermodel has pared her outfit down to the bare basics, her go-to pair of bootcut jeans is a constant. The current FWRD creative director wears them often and looks great while doing so.
A dark blue, baggy jacket helped the supermodel stay warm. She wore a low-cut white crop top under her coat. Her loose-fitting black slacks looked great with her white cropped tank. The trousers had a high rise and were button and zip fastening, with a somewhat flared leg design.
A pair of black ankle boots finished Kendall’s look in an unexpected way, but it’s all about keeping things fresh!
