How to Create Unique Looks with Your Favourite Jeans

Trends have come and gone throughout history, capturing our hearts for a fleeting moment before an even more remarkable style catches our eye, but, if there’s one fashion piece that’s stood the test of time, it’s denim jeans – and it’s easy to see why! 

Whether they’re black or blue, flared or embroidered, jeans can be worn with literally everything – yes, even skirts and dresses – and that’s why they’ve become such a wardrobe staple. 

Whenever we’re stuck for what to wear, jeans and a nice top is the first combo we tend to reach for. The only problem with this reliable look, is that, after a while, it can start to feel… well… basic.

We don’t do basic at Joe Browns! So, we’ve put together a style guide to show you how to create unique looks with your favourite jeans.

Follow these tips and you’ll never be out of jeans outfit ideas again.

Most of us have a favourite pair of jeans – the ones that seem to fit just right, the ones we turn to time and again.

But, if you’ve never been able to find that perfect pair, or your go-to trousers are looking a bit worn out, it’s time to find your new favourite jeans.

The key to choosing the right jeans is understanding your body shape and how different cuts complement it. From slim legs to mom jeans to bootcuts, each fit creates a different silhouette, and knowing which feels best for you will make your unique jeans outfit look even more beautiful.

Once you’ve found a shape you love, it’s time to focus on style. The first question to ask yourself is, what’s your personal sense of style? You might adore the bohemian look with flared jeans, emblazoned with embroidery. Or maybe the biker style is more your thing, and distressed jeans loaded with attitude are your go-to.

Got a look that suits your style? Now it’s time to try them on!

If your new jeans make you feel unstoppable, you know they’re the right ones for you.

We love headturning occasionwear but, let’s be honest, not every day calls for dressing to the nines. 

So, if you’re looking for a weekend ready outfit that strikes just the right balance between laidback and fashion-forward, jeans and a graphic tee are the perfect combo. 

Choose a t-shirt with a print that shows off your personality, whether you’re an animal lover or a rock ‘n’ roller, throw it on with your favourite jeans – tucked in for a more intentional look – and top the outfit off with a statement jacket. 

Style Hint: Full of attitude, both military and leather jackets work beautifully with this look.

Jeans are no longer reserved for the weekend. In recent years, party looks and formal outfits have taken a more casual turn. Even office attire focuses more on comfort than corporate nowadays, so it’s great to have a few formal jean looks in your back pocket for when the occasion arises! 

To pull off this style, we’d recommend skinny jeans as they create a sleek silhouette for an elegant and sophisticated vibe. For your blouse, look for florals and paisley prints in rich jewel tones, and pay attention to the details – embroidery, pleats, lace trims, and bell sleeves will elevate your outfit.

Wear a blazer over your blouse for a smart casual jeans style that you can take anywhere from the bar to the boardroom.

With cosy season just around the corner, it’s the perfect time to start pairing your favourite jeans with comfy knits and soft layers.

Though this might not seem like the most original style, there are so many ways to make your jumper and jeans outfit unique.

Enjoy playing with textures – like ladder knits, ribbed styles, and cable knits – to add depth and interest to your outfit. If you’re going for an elevated everyday look, wear your slouchy jumper half-tucked into your relaxed jeans. For a more polished ensemble, a fitted cardigan with high-waisted denim jeans feels elegant yet comfortable.

Style your cosy jumper and jeans with some equally as comfy trainers, and you’ve got a unique jeans look that’ll carry you through the season. 

If you’ve had your favourite jeans a while and you’re not quite ready to let them go, we’ve got good news. You don’t have to!

In fact, you can create a completely unique look with your favourite jeans by adding your own badges and embroidery. A few simple DIY touches can transform tired denim into a fresh, statement piece that’s entirely your own.
