Ok, now on to what to wear with your black jeans!
What to Wear with Black Jeans – 20 Different Ways
1. Denim Shirt With Shacket and Black Boots
Shop the Outfit: Denim Shirt (Mine is super old – this one is similar) | Pants | Shacket | Boots
Let’s start with a fall look for styling your black jeans. Go for a layered look! This one is super easy to replicate. Grab any chambray shirt in your closet, layer an oversized shacket over it. Pull on distressed black pants and black boots.

2. Black Boots with Denim Shirt and Vest
Shop the Outfit: Denim Shirt (Mine is super old – this one is similar) | Pants | Vest (sold out – similar here) | Boots
Tie in the black jeans with a black vest! Vests are a great transitional piece for spring and fall! I love the different textures of this sherling vest and how the blue shirt pops underneath.
The black boots and black denim jeans gives everything a cohesive look and feel.
3. All Black
Shop the Look: Sweater | Boots
One of the most simple yet classic outfits to wear is all black! But don’t wear all black from head to toe. Give it a pop of color in you bootie. I love the look of a sleep black sweater or black top paired with black jeans accented with tan or printed boots.
You could wear brown boots with gold jewelry like I did here. Or you can pair your black on black with a printed boot (think snake skin or leopard boots). The pop of color in your shoe will have you looking like quite the fashionista!
As a general rule, cropped pair of jeans look great with a tall boots (as opposed to the shorter ones) so your legs don’t look extra short).

4. Black Skinny Jeans + Denim Jacket
Running errands but still want to look good? Here you go! These black skinny jeans paired with wedged boots makes my leg line look extremely long (news flash – I’m actually really short!). I cuffed them twice to make them the right length and not bunch up on top of the boots.
Knotting a white button down gives it a more casual look to it and a denim jacket is the perfect completer piece, giving you that fashionista vibe.

5. Black Jeans + Oversized Sweater

If you’re looking for more minimal outfits, this is a perfect one! Black jeans and an oversized sweater in just about any color is a great base for adding in the white detail of a white bootie.
6. Black Jeans + Denim Shirt + Jacket
Shop the Outfit: Denim Shirt (Mine is super old- this one is similar)| Pants | Jacket | Boots
Another favorite layered look is this one! This outfit is especially perfect for fall or spring when you don’t need a heavier jacket yet.
Be sure to choose a jacket that falls past your denim shirt or tuck in your shirt.
7. Layered Under a Sweater
Shop the Outfit: Denim Shirt (Mine sold out – this one is similar) | Pants | Sweater (Mine is sold out Similar Sweater) | Boots
This is one black jeans outfit that you can 100% wear to the office. It’s professional yet pretty!
During colder months layer a chambray top under a sweater! The best way to pull off this is to have your denim jacket peaking out at the bottom of your sweater and at the sleeves.
The texture of a denim shirt along with the texture of a sweater gives you such a stylish appearance! You can pair this with a more fitted sweater like I have one or a cozy, oversized sweater!
8. Black Jeans + Black Top
Black Jeans | Bodysuit | Boots (Macys / Nordstrom)
If you want a more monochromatic look, try black on black! In my opinion, black on black is one of the best options you have to try out a new trend!
All black is simple and classic and a great start for adding in a white boot too whether they’re a classic ankle boot or more of a tall shaft bootie like mine.

9. Wintery Layered Look
If you’re wearing ankle booties in the winter, chances are you’re going to want to layer up your look a bit! Having a solid neutral base – darker wash jeans (these are more of a dark grey but you can get the same look with black jeans!), a longer black and white top and grey jacket is a great way to set the tone of your look.
Adding a scarf with a bit of a pop of color gives you that boho feel to it and a bit of life to an otherwise muted palate.
You’ll notice that these jeans needed just one tiny cuff to make the perfect length for my booties.

10. Red Cardigan and Gold Accents
Add some color to your black jeans! Can you mix brown and red? Heck yes! I love the look of brown and red together (this is just my personal preference – you can totally disagree!) and love the look of this outfit.
A knotted white tee gives you a solid base for some simple gold necklaces which pull in the gold bangles. The brown cut out of the boots give them a fun look and the red cardigan is a beautiful completer piece!
