The jeans-with-a-blazer combo is truly tried and tested – your favourite icons of the 80s and 90s think so, too. Just look up Sarah Jessica Parker’s vintage style for a dose of oversized tailoring paired with rolled-up denim, or Whitney Houston’s nineties off-duty style (swoon).
Fast-forward to Spring/Summer 2026, and the beloved outfit formula is still popping up on the runways, be it with statement florals at Brandon Maxwell or buttoned up, tailored jackets at Valentino. Basically, the blazer with jeans combo is going nowhere.
You might think that styling a blazer with jeans is as simple as just… well, that – and to an extent, it is – but choosing the right silhouettes and denim styles is the key between good and great, if you know what I mean. For example, teaming a cropped blazer with a barrel leg jean will balance any volume and break up your silhouette, while an oversized blazer with wide-leg jeans will give a laidback 70s look. Ahead, I propose six chic ways to wear a blazer with jeans, taking inspiration from celebrities and fashion week attendees. You’re welcome.
