Have you ever found a pair of jeans and wondered how you ever lived without them? Maybe that’s a bit of an exaggeration, but that’s how I feel about dad jeans. What exactly are dad jeans? Think loose fit, straight leg, and ’90s vibes.
There really is no wrong way to style this type of denim, but if you need some guidance then today’s post is for you. From a striped tee to an oversized sweater to a graphic tee, we’ve got it all.
3 Ways to Style Dad Jeans + Outfit Ideas:
1. A Basic Tee
You can always count on a basic tee to make for a great simple outfit. I definitely find myself gravitating towards a white or striped t-shirt a lot.
Since dad jeans are loose-fitting, I suggest you tuck in your tee (like above) or give it a front tuck. Try your best to stick to one that’s not going to be super oversized. You just don’t want something that is so oversized it clashes with the relaxed fit of your denim.

2. A Sweater
This outfit has me so excited for Fall. Just thinking about that crisp air and being cozy makes me so happy! Anyways, I love the simplicity of throwing on a sweater with jeans.
Try looking for sweaters that are light-weight and can be tucked in, cropped, or oversized (like the one I’m wearing). It’s okay for your sweater to be a bit oversized, but once again, the same rules apply as I mentioned above.
- TIP: Look for an oversized sweater that features side slits, so your hips can be shown off to help break up the outfit.

3. A Graphic Tee
It’s not a styling post if we don’t throw a graphic tee into the mix!! Graphic tees are a great step up from that basic tee of yours. To find out the best graphic tee brands and several other outfit ideas, check out this blog post here.
PSSST: The particular dad jeans that I’m wearing are an ahhmazing dupe to the Agolde ’90s Fit Jeans. The best part is mine is half the price and way more comfortable!

Like we mentioned above, the options are endless when styling dad jeans. When the temps start to get cooler, throw on a denim, leather, or suede jacket over your tee. Have fun with dressing up these jeans as well, whether that’s with a button-up shirt or a silk blouse.
