What to Put on With Black Denims When It is 30 Levels Outdoor

Working out what to wear with black jeans is always, for some reason, harder than one always imagines. Black clothes are our lifeblood, even when the mercury rises. Denim is our biggest obsession (well, when we're not shopping for shoes), so one would assume that when the two collide, we'd be knee-deep in the power-dressing territory. Not so. There's something so inherently rock 'n' roll about black jeans that on occasion—when your style is less Siouxsie Sioux and more Olivia Palermo—it can be tricky to walk the line between looking casual and looking pulled-together during the warmer months.

Fortunately for us, the black denim trend has seen a resurgence for spring/summer 2018, which means some new outfit material has been produced in order for us to rethink the wardrobe classic and nudge it into fresher territory. French girls everywhere are partial to a pair of black jeans (you'll find Jeanne Damas and Geraldine Saglio in the lineup of ladies we're looking to for solid advice), but it's interesting to see that Danes, Russians and Brits all have their way of wearing them too. Go through the gallery below to see the most inspiring takes on wearing black jeans now. Once you've done that, keep going to shop some of our favourite denim styles to get the look.

Style Notes: Tiffany Hsu brings a streetwear edge to her black denim: the oversize and shrugged-off bomber jacket layered over a sporty zip-up and Off White handbag could look just as effective with sneakers as they do with her shiny black boots.

Style Notes: A classic combo that shall live on forever more. Add a black blazer to black jeans, demi-tuck a white tee, and slouch your skinnies into a pair of boho ankle boots. This is the French-girl trick pour excellence.

Style Notes: Your black denim doesn't have to be basic. This pair of pearl-studded, cropped flare jeans from Storets have been used as the base for an eclectic bunch of pieces.

Style Notes: Clever accessorising lightens up the toughness of black jeans—see how this chic lady has injected a brown leather belt, white shoes and a neutral bag into the mix? This instantly looks less wintry.

Style Notes: French fashion editors like Geraldine Saglio (right) can often be found in this combination of biker jacket, black jeans and mid-heel pumps. It echoes the biker sentiment of dark-wash denim but feels ladylike at the same time.

Style Notes: Jeanne Damas takes a classic route by wearing her high-waisted black jeans with a white Victoriana-style blouse—we also like her mix 'n' match approach to accessories.

Style Notes: Why not use your black jeans as a very basic base for more exciting items? Natasha Goldenberg's pea-green jacket, furry bag and silver shoes are all kinds of fun when set against these plain cutoffs.

Why not ask for a little extra from your denim?

The contrast stitching on these looks so expensive.

A classic you can wear and beat up.

Wear cutoffs with longline ankle boots for extra leg-lengthening.

V-neck heels always look good with skinny jeans.

These have a vintage appeal but a thoroughly modern fit.

For those days where being a motorbike-riding kind of girl is the dream…. Want some other option? Shop for more black jeans.
