Have you ever thought, “man I don’t know what to wear with my black denim?” Lucky you, we’re going to be sharing 12 black jeans outfit ideas + how to style. Black skinny jeans are our number one go-to. They can be worn to many different places/occasions if styled correctly, can be dressed up or down, and who can say not some black in there wardrobe?
What Works With Black Jeans?
Generally speaking, just about anything goes with a pair of black jeans. You can wear blouses, a white shirt/any t-shirt, sweaters, sweatshirts, or even leopard print. Whatever top you choose, you can pair with boots, heels, or even sneakers. Easy as that!
12 Black Jeans Outfit Ideas
1. Faux fur coat and t-shirt
Wanting to feel and look on trend this season? Then go get yourself a faux fur/teddy coat. Faux fur coats are perfect for when wanting to layer up, maybe even add a scarf. Your black denim is going to help tie the outfit together and make the outfit look a bit more dressed up than it is.
- FYI, these type of coats normally run on the larger side. If you’re wanting an oversized coat, size up so you can wear a chunky knit sweater underneath.
- Wondering where to pick up a faux fur coat? H&M, Shein, or Urban Outfitters.
2. Sweater
Sweaters are an item of clothing that most of us have multiples of in our closet. Needing a more dressed up look? Tuck a more form-fitting sweater into your black denim with a belt and pair of heels. If you’re wanting a really easy and casual look to throw on, it’s a simple as pairing an oversized sweater with your jeans.
- We like picking up our sweaters from H&M, Forever 21, and Asos.
3. Blazer and a graphic tee
This look is for you more edgy girls! Pair any graphic tee with a blazer and your black denim. Sneakers are what I gravitate towards, but add a pair of heels for a feminine touch.
- Looking for a good blazer? Check out, Nordstrom. Want some graphic tees? We love Urban Outfitters selection.
4. Camisole and turtleneck
Don’t feel like you have to put away your camisoles for the winter time! Grab a turtleneck to layer underneath your cami for a chic, easy, and more “unique” look. Sticking to black skinny jeans for this particular look will make you look sleeker and allow each item to flow together.
- Our favorite place for camisoles is by far Heartloom.
5. Cardigan
Cardigans are so easy because you can throw one on and be ready for the day. They’re an item of clothing that can stay in your closet for years to come since they are so versatile and simple. Two of our favorite ways to style cardigans is with ripped black jeans or leggings with a looser fitting t-shirt.
- If you’re wanting to invest in a good quality cardigan, check out Madewell. For a wide selection and range of styles, Nordstrom is your place.
6. Denim jacket and camisole
The mixing of a denim jacket and camisole is one of our favorites. You feel dressed up and casual at the same time, especially when paired with black jeans… a win-win. For an even more casual look, pair your camisole and denim jacket with a pair of joggers.
7. Blouse
Just like sweaters, blouses are just as simple. What we mean by that is you can wear with black jeans, a belt, boots/heels and it looks like you really thought out what to wear. When really they’re all simple pieces that when worn together look like so much more. A classic black pair of jeans is a good idea if you’re needing to dress up your blouse a bit more.
8. Sweatshirt
Sweatshirts don’t just have to be worn when lounging around. If styled right, you can easily rock a sweatshirt on the go. We tend to gravitate towards black jeans because they are going to help with making you look not so casual compared to a pair of light wash jeans. To finish off the look, throw on a leather jacket, blazer, or faux fur coat.
- What style of sweatshirt should I look for? A graphic sweatshirt, a sweatshirt with a saying, or a print like leopard/camo. Propertee by Chris Loves Julia has some of the best sweatshirts.
- If you want a super edgy look, try black leather pants.
9. Wool coat and sweater
A wool coat and sweater are perfect for this time of year. Not only will this combo keep you warm, but it’s such a versatile look when worn with black jeans. For a super casual look style with sneakers and a beanie. Go for a pair of heeled booties/over the knee boots if you’re wanting a mix of casual and dressed up.
- Wool coats are going to be more of an investment since they can be worn year after year.
10. Faux fur coat and sweater
Instead of wearing a t-shirt with your faux fur coat, style with a sweater. Try playing around with layers as well like wearing an oversized long sleeve t-shirt under your sweater.

11. Jacket and t-shirt
Have a little fun with your jackets and look for a different cut than you would typically wear. Try a cropped jacket or a long line jacket for a change of pace, layer a long sleeve t-shirt underneath, and then pair with your favorite black jeans.
- Instead of always wearing a plain colored tee, try a stripe or floral print long sleeve.
- Looking for a jacket that won’t break the bank? We love shopping at Forever 21, Zara, and Shein. Not sure about Shein? We did a whole blog post on Tips For Shopping At Shein.
12. Denim jacket and sweater
We love our denim jackets, they truly are our go-to staple item in our closet. So bust it out as an added extra layer over your sweater and you’re ready to take on the day.
- Instead of black skinny jeans try black jeans with a frayed hem or flared hem.
