Denim lovers, jeans aficionados and people who just really love a great pair of cutoffs, today is your lucky day. We’ve put together a list of really great, iconic in some cases, denim outfits. Before we get started, however, there’s one point that’s worth noting: we’ve mainly stuck to women’s outfits. While there are a plethora of well-dressed men wearing jeans (Marlon Brando, James Dean et al), not enough space is dedicated to the coolest denim outfits as seen on women, and boy, have we found some doozies.
Over the past few decades, since jeans became a wardrobe staple for quite literally everyone in the world, there have been some incredible outfits as seen on the A-list. From ’90s Jennifer Aniston in Friends to Diana Ross partying wearing a nice top and jeans, there are so many women whose looks we would still wear today. Right now, after years of skinny jeans obsession, we’re going towards a baggier, looser fit trend. And while stretchier and more comfortable silhouettes could be attributed to the pandemic and our love of clothing with more give, it’s clear that this ’90s style of denim has been bubbling up for a while now. But there’s also no denying that ’70s flares are also still popular among plenty of the fashion crowd.
The only thing to do then is look back at all of the best denim looks that have come before. You’ll not only get some outfit inspiration, you might even realise that maybe hanging on to that pair of classic straight-leg jeans wasn’t such a bad idea after all, as the trend is bound to come back around again. Keep scrolling and dive straight into some denim nostalgia.
