Everyone has their favorite pair (or pairs!) of jeans, but sometimes coming up with new ways to wear them can stump the best of us. Who better to help with some fresh denim outfit ideas than a few of our favorite street-savvy celebs? From beloved straight-leg jeans to trend-forward indigo washes and relaxed baggy cuts, these celeb-inspired denim outfits are the perfect way to rethink the perennial closet classic.
Vogue’s Must-Have Denim:
Fall dressing is in full effect, so think of these combinations as sartorial cures for the season ahead. Many fashion insiders know that a fail-proof formula starts with blue jeans, a white T-shirt, and standout outerwear. From Zendaya’s cuffed denim and long leather coat to Alexa Chung’s vintage-inspired straight-leg jeans and ladylike wrap coat, and Monica Barbaro’s flared wide-legs and menswear-inspired Pub jacket, these outfit formulas offer plenty of inspiration for reworking the tried-and-true pairing.
Still, we can’t help but look beyond denim’s daytime appeal. Dakota Johnson made a case for clean cropped jeans after dark, wearing hers with a shearling-trimmed jacket, silky champagne-colored camisole, and black ballet flats for an evening out in New York. Meanwhile, Rihanna was spotted in Paris sporting her favorite baggy jeans with a satin evening jacket, hobo bag, and pointy pumps for a dinner date. Both looks strike the perfect high-low balance, proving that denim can feel just as polished after hours as it does by day.
Whether you’re keeping things casual with wardrobe staples or dressing denim up with elevated statement pieces, the possibilities are endless. The trick is all in the styling—finding the right finishing touches to make each silhouette feel like your own.
Below, find ten celeb-inspired denim outfit ideas to give your fall wardrobe a stylish refresh.
