I’m so happy to be writing this article about what to wear with black jeans. I seriously love black jeans. They’re my favorite color of denim and my favorite type of casual pants.
My love affair with black jeans began back in high school after receiving a gorgeous pair of GUESS black denim flares, and also a matching denim jacket from the same brand. If you can’t guess, this was in the early 2000s. I wore the life out of those pieces, both together and separately. I eventually outgrew the black flares, but the black denim jacket remained in my life decades later (and many pairs of black jeans later as well).

Are Black Jeans Still In Style?
The first question to address for what to wear with black jeans is “Are black jeans still in style?”. I see this question around the internet. The answer is a resounding YES. Yes and amen, if you will. Black jeans are like the laidback sister of black pants. And just like black pants (or black trousers) will always be in-demand and in-style, so will black jeans.
Black jeans are one of the most versatile pieces of clothing you can own.
Honestly, black jeans should be on everyone’s wardrobe essentials list. Black is a safe color for pants and goes with most everything, any time of the year. You can dress black jeans up for a smart casual look, style with a sexy top for a night out, and dress them down for black jeans street style. They’re the answer to black pants when you don’t want to try so hard.

A great way to soften the harshness of black jeans is with a velvet, suede, nude, or pastel shoe. Of course, you can also dial up the edge with a caged heel or combat boot. Classic pumps, ankle boots, and loafers keep things elegant and modern.

Bootcut / Flare Black Jeans
I personally recommend a pair of very dark, all black jeans in your closet. This way you can create dressy outfits in-place of black trousers, and the jeans look pretty much like black pants, but with the flattering fit of denim. Add The Really Really from AYR to your wardrobe staples or my personal favorite, The Le High Flare in Film Noir from Frame. If you’re going for a cropped look try the 9″ Demi-Boot Crop Jean in Stay Black Wash by J. Crew.
For a vintage 2000’s style, try the Faded Bootcut Jeans from Micas. Or try the Pull On Flare by Jessica Simpson for a sleek style without any front pockets or belt loops–a definite replacement for those black pants.
Straight-Leg Black Jeans
AGOLDE’s Freya High-Rise Slim Straight Jean is designed to accentuate your waist and elongate your legs. Mother’s High Waisted Rider Skimp is equally as flattering in a slim, straight, stretch denim.
Wide-Leg / Relaxed Black Jeans
The California LAX Barrel Jeans from 1 People are a fun twist on mom jeans with pleating and sustainably-sourced upcycled denim. The Mid-Rise Black Ripped Baggy Tapered Jeans from Express will give you a chic street style look that you can also dress up with a blazer and a set of heels.
The Luxury High-Waisted Wide Leg Jeans from Autograph are a chic style at under $100. Or try the top-rated Mia from Joe’s Jeans in vintage stretch denim. The Paige Frankie High-Rise Wide Leg Crop Jeans give a bit of a culotte look and look pretty chic with slim ankle boots.
Slim / Skinny Black Jeans
For a laidback vibe, try the The Mid-Rise Perfect Vintage Jeans from Madewell. The Mid-Rise Skinny Jean in Black Wash from Banana Republic will always be a classic in my book…what else can you tuck into your tall boots in the cold weather?

Fun looks!
Especially loved the white jacket with the black jeans, but liked almost everything!
Gotta shop for black jeans again. Haven’t had them for years. Am enjoying my blue denim flares that are slightly tight as flares, so they wear more like bells right now. I’m breaking the rules with them, cuz I still have 24’ish pounds to lose (have lost 33).
Looking forward to when my thighs slim down enough so that my flares fit like flares, and I can wear the tighter bells that I bought.
Struggling with finding straight legged jeans that fit my current size, but that’s okay, I can wait….
In the meantime, thanks for the inspiration!!!
Dear Rain,
What kind words! Thank you so much for reading. I feel you in the struggle for the best fitting jeans! When I can find a pair that actually fit without having to be altered…that’s a dream. ZARA surprised me last month with two pairs of affordable jeans. I love my fitted, black flares, but would love a looser, more 70’s-inspired pair for the season, too. Best of luck in your hunt for the perfect pair <3 Laura
