Possibly the most classic of outfits is the combination of jeans and a top; it’s simple, it looks nice, and pretty much everyone has all of the items. Here are five ways to spice up your top and jeans outfits for some more variation in your wardrobe.
If you already have your top and jeans picked out, a super simple way to jazz up the outfit is to add some shoes that sparkle. Whether they’re pointed toe booties like the ones below or glittery flat sneakers, sparkly shoes give an instant glam effect to the entire outfit. Need to take an outfit from a day look to a night look? Just add some glitter and you’re all set! Plus, you’ll be the envy of every shoe-lover in the place.

To make your jeans less plain, consider either buying jeans with patches on them or add patches to your favorite pair in your closet! It’s a great way to add personality and a bit of street style to your outfit. This is also a perfect opportunity to customize plain jeans that you’ve owned forever but never wore because they weren’t interesting enough. No one else will have the exact same jeans as you if you DIY your own patch jeans, so it’s a great and unique touch of style to add to your wardrobe.

Animal print is back, baby! Add some leopard print accessories like a belt or purse to your outfit for a subtle walk on the wild side and a little extra pattern. Animal prints are a great way to elevate your whole look to the next level, and they can be paired with just about anything.
It doesn’t have to be leopard; that’s just the print that’s most commonly spotted these days. Neon animal prints make a bold statement, but if you’re not in the mood for something so loud, opt for a subtler accent piece like the belt or purse below.

Try layering a sheer top over a tank, bralette, or a bandeau to show a hint of skin on top while staying covered on the bottom. This is a better look for slightly warmer days and bonus! You’ll look super trendy and cute
. And you don’t need to have any particular body type to wear a sheer top; sheer looks good on everyone, and as long as you feel good in what you’re wearing, you’ll look great (although it might not be so appropriate for work attire). Be sure to rock this with attitude to match the street style vibe the sheer top gives off.

If you want your outfit to look a bit more put-together, try throwing on a pair of patterned denim. Stripes, polka dots, animal print, floral, whatever the pattern, rocking some jeans with a print is a great way to elevate the denim-based look and add some visual interest to the whole outfit. As a bonus, some patterned jeans don’t even look that much like jeans, so you may be able to get away with wearing them in slightly more upscale settings than you would with normal light wash denim.
Besides, they’re just cute. Pair them with a graphic tee for a rocker-inspired look like the one below, and brace yourself for all of the compliments coming your way.
