You know how they say that every girl must own a little black dress in her wardrobe? The same goes for black jeans. While blue denim jeans are the classic casual pants, black jeans are way more versatile. They can be dressed up with a nice top or dressed down with a simple tee – making them the best day-to-night item you could own in your closet. Plus, they’re super comfy and easy to move around in too. Really, what more could you ask for?
Wondering what to wear with black jeans? Stuck wearing the same old outfit over and over again? Here are 15 black jeans outfits to inspire you.

1. With A Plain White Tee
White looks good with black jeans because it creates a monochromatic colour scheme. Combined with white sneakers, you have the perfect summer look.
2. Add Some Denim
If you want to bust out the same outfit during slightly colder weather, you can always throw on a denim jacket and change your sneakers to boots.

3. Astute In Autumn
Once autumn hits, there’s no reason to stop wearing this look. Simply replace your denim jacket with something warmer like a dark wool coat and trade the white tee with a white sweater.
4. Looking Good In Leopard Print
Who says winter has to be drab? Stand out from all the basic winter coats with a leopard print puffer jacket or faux fur coat. Put on some combat boots and accessorise with shades and a black beanie and you’ve got yourself one badass winter outfit.

5. With A Crisp White Button-Down Shirt
Remember what we said about pairing black jeans with a white shirt? You can create a similar smart casual look by pairing black jeans with a button-down boyfriend shirt and a pair of heels. For a rocker chic look, go for boots instead. For a pop of colour, go for a red, blue, or green bag.

6. Chic Street In A Band Tee + Boots Combo
We love what Kendall Jenner did with her slouchy black jeans. While a band tee and a pair of dark oversized jeans look good as a casual street attire, you can elevate the look by switching sneakers and running shoes with white boots.
Kendall hits this look out of the park once again in a distressed Slayer tee and burgundy ankle boots. And check out her off-kilter gold chain belt!

7. Harry Styles-Esque In Black Jeans And Brown Boots
Nothing is as quintessentially Harry Styles as a black jeans + brown boots + colourful button-down shirt combo. Harry is a rocker through and through, but he also loves campy fashion. He effortlessly combines the two here with skinny dark jeans, suede tan shoes, and floral-printed shirt. This is a look both men and women can copy.

8. Bra Top And Leggings A La Emily Ratajkowski
Spring 2020 trend predictions see a rise in bra tops, those tiny bikini tops that let girls show off the abs they’ve been working so hard to get. If you aren’t confident enough to step out in nothing but a bra top and a pair of jeans, check out how model Emily Ratajkowski combines a white bra top with an oversized tan blazer and cropped leggings. Tres chic!

9. Ripped Jeans, Skin Was Showin’
Gigi Hadid pulled off this effortlessly cool black ripped jeans and spaghetti strap all-black ensemble by throwing a snakeskin belt into the mix – effectively breaking up the monotony with an exotic pattern. What a simple but effective way of making an all-black outfit stand out!

10. Fringe Benefits
Here’s another way to liven up an all-black outfit: fringe. Kylie Jenner wore this fringe belt with a plunging V-neck top and dark jeans and we haven’t stopped thinking about it since. And don’t think it’s passe just because this look is from 2016. Fringe is a female fashion trend that’s set to make a comeback in 2020. Turn up that Kacey Musgraves song because the cowboy trend is back!
