Aside from at a wedding, or on a plane, perhaps, I would say jeans can be worn anywhere. One of the most-worn pieces in my wardrobe are a pair of & Other Stories baggy jeans that have been worn so frequently over the year, they've sadly started to fray at the thighs. That's true love for a fashion item, and it's hardly surprising when they're so versatile. The thing is, though, it's all about getting the perfect-fit, isn't it? Once you've found your Goldilocks 'just right' jeans, there's no letting go. But when worn on heavy rotation across the seasons, they can get a bit, well, boring—right? So instead of ditching said jeans, I decided to go on the hunt for some denim inspiration in the way of celebrity looks. And I wasn't disappointed.
Alexa Chung's Pinterest-worthy outfit formula of a logo sweater layered over a shirt with baggy jeans and ballet flats is so simple, yet so considered. Elsa Hosk has made a firm case for cigarette jeans styled again, simply with a T-shirt and leather jacket and Laura Harrier and Bella Hadid are bringing back throwback skinny and bootcut pairs. And the best part as I said earlier, they're all simple outfits that are so easy to copy.
Spring denim outfit ideas has never been easier after seeing these 5 celeb-approved jeans looks.
Celebrity Jean Outfits for Spring 2026:
1. Alexa Chung: Baggy Jeans + Sweater + Shirt
Style Notes: I'm pretty sure this look is going to be saved to everyone's 'style inspo' Pinterest board for spring. In a bid to ditch winter clothes, often people peek too early, but this layered look is one that'll work sans coat. I appreciate how the shirt poking out of the sweater gives a preppy feel to the worn-look leather jacket and jeans duo. And of course Alexa has given it the cool-girl twist with fancy earrings. She can do no wrong.
Shop the Look:
A fashion editor favourite for good reason.
Grab in two or three sizes up.
Also the perfect workwear staple.
Reformation isn't just the destination for great dresses.
I'll always love the look of baggy jeans with ballet flats.
2. Sienna Miller: Ecru Jeans + Waistcoat + Ankle Boots
Style Notes: Wearing the jeans that define spring, ecru off-white pairs never fail at this time of year. While they work as a neutral with quite literally any outfit, the appeal of a simple monochrome look never fails. I've given my waistcoat collection a break throughout winter, but I'll be digging them back out to recreate this look.
Shop the Look:
When it comes to high street jeans, I really rate H&M.
I want the matching trousers, too.
Asymmetric bags are a mini trend this season.
I can confirm, these are the comfiest ankle boots around.
So sleek.
3. Elsa Hosk: Cigarette Jeans + T-shirt + Leather Bomber
Style Notes: In my eyes, Elsa Hosk can do no wrong in the outfit department. I'm a fan, so naturally I love the look of these cigarette jeans—basically, if slim and straight-leg jeans were to have a baby—worn with a classic white T-shirt and oversized leather jacket. For me, though, spring is far too warm for Uggs so I would switch to a ballet flat.
Shop the Look:
Practically iconic.
In my opinion, it's the best white T-shirt.
Elsa and Alexa have both confirmed worn-look leather jackets are the style for spring.
Sunglasses are a year-round accessories.
The midi Hudson is the perfect in-between style.
4. Laura Harrier: Skinny Jeans + Leather Bomber + Courts
Style Notes: I'm on the fence about the return of skinny jeans—mainly because I spent over a decade wearing them every day—but I do appreciate Laura Harrier's take on the spray-on jeans look. The bomber makes it feel more 2026 but the towering heels still takes them back to their 'out out' roots (in a good way).
Shop the Look:
It's time to big back Topshop Jamie jeans!
Allsaints has some of the best leather jackets on the high street. Fact.
Fashion people are still into these.
This has to be the perfect black bag.
On my wish list.
5. Bella Hadid: Flared Jeans + Denim Jacket + Heels
Style Notes: Whether it's your first rodeo when it comes to Miss Sixty denim, or you remember them from the '00s, they're back. And Bella Hadid has confirmed it. It's all about the bootcut flare and for a Western vibe, go for the Canadian tuxedo with a matching jacket—because as someone who's sat here writing this in double denim, it never fails.
Shop the Look:
The bootcut flare is back!
So many collarless jackets around this season.
So similar to Bella's pair.
These shades are such a simple way to do the hint of red styling trick.
The base to so many great outfits.
