Make outfits you love wearing all winter with dressy jeans. This guide will show you what to wear with coated jeans and which washes are the easiest to dress up. Two of my most popular travel capsule wardrobes include dark denim because it is the easiest color to wear dressy. In my Street Style Capsule Wardrobe, I made 72 outfits with only 10 clothing items. One of those items was a pair of grey jeans. Grey jeans are a great dressy jean alternative to black. However, if you feel the best in black, a pair of coated black denim jeans looks modern and fresh compared to boring basic black pants.

GREY JEANS ARE THE NEW BLACK

Get the Look for Less

In my Street Style Capsule Wardrobe, I made 72 outfits with only 10 clothing items. One of those items was a pair of grey jeans. Grey jeans are a great dressy jean alternative to black. Revisit THIS POST for some winter color combinations that work well with grey denim. A dark wash with a flare looks the best with heels. If you want to wear dressy flats a straight leg ankle length style will work the best.

Dressy Grey Jeans Street Style

Something as simple as a pretty pullover sweater, in a color that makes you happy, and boots make an easy dressy jean outfit. All of these perfectly proportioned J. Crew sweaters come in different color options. My favorite is this cable knit style with a bow in the back!

Stylist Tip– You can wear grey jeans with gold jewelry if you incorporate a two-tone accessory into your outfit.

DRESSY JEANS ARE USUALLY DARK

Dark jeans with minimal distressing are the dressiest. Wide-leg trouser-style jeans look great with blazers and a little bit of a heel. If you prefer flats or really want to show off your festive footwear don’t ditch your skinny jeans. A dark pair is perfect with a crisp button-up or oversized sweater.

Dark Flares

All of these dark denim long flare leg jeans have different widths at the opening. If you have skinny legs you’ll like the Lily from Fidelity the best.

The New Skinny Jeans

Modern skinny jeans have a longer rise (zipper) and are slightly wider around the ankle.

WHAT TO WEAR WITH COATED JEANS

I’m still crushing on coated denim. I included several styles in my 2022 Holiday Capsule and the Nordstrom 6 recently chose this style from Seven for All Mankind coated bootcut jeans as part of our November Drop.
