I Thought I'd Worn Jeans With Everything, But These 5 Winter Trends Are Making Denim Feel Fresh Again

As we descend into a new season and I finish up my annual wardrobe switchover, I’m taking stock of the pieces I own and establishing some go-to outfit combinations I’ll be relying on. I’m reminding myself of the things I’ve accumulated over the years that I love and can rely on, how I style them and fresh ways I can wear them, too, to give them a new lease of life. Shopping your own wardrobe and wearing existing pieces in new ways is such an easy way to make pieces you already own feel brand new.

If there’s one thing I love, it’s jeans. Their versatility is unmatched and I daren’t admit how many pairs I actually own. They go with almost everything and are one of those items that can look completely different depending on how you style them. Whether it's with a chunky knit and boots for a casual look, or a lace-trimmed cami top and strappy heels for an evening, they can be dressed up or down so easily.

To make my jeans feel a bit more current and integrate them into the new season, I’ve been looking at ways I can incorporate some key 2025 winter trends into my existing wardrobe and how I can wear them with my jeans. And, fortunately for you, I've written all about my findings. Below, I've rounded up five winter trends that I’ll be wearing with my faithful jeans to make them feel fresh, chic and ready to take on the season ahead.

5 Winter 2025 Trends to Wear With Jeans:

1. Argyle Knits

Style Notes: Argyle knits are once again trending and I, for one, am here for it. While they may remind you of your grandpa, they have had a high-fashion upgrade and have come a long way. They feel so much more relevant and chic now and I can’t wait to bring mine out.

2. Flat Suede Boots

Style Notes: Boots are the ultimate winter wardrobe core piece and I don’t take mine off the entire season. One style of boots I will be investing in is a flat suede boot. The suede trend has taken the fashion world by storm as of late, and has now descended into boots, and comfort as well as style is key.

Shop the Trend:

The Row's iconic boot in a suede iteration.

A pointed shoe is my all-time favourite.

3. Cherry Red

Style Notes: Personally, I’m a minimalist that favours muted tones and a neutral palette, however after seeing this cherry red jacket on Marilyn, I am completely sold and will inject a pop of the bright hue into my wardrobe. I will ease myself in with an accessory to start with as red can be quite intimidating, but somewhat refreshing at the same time.

Shop the Trend:

Alpaca-Wool Blend Jumper – Red – Women – Arket Gb

ARKET

Alpaca-Wool Blend Jumper

I have this jumper in so many colours and this may just be next on my list.

Clara Cashmere Crew Cardigan

4. Squishy Bags

Style Notes: Following the autumn/winter 2025 runways, one trend that is set to be a big one is squishy bags. Seen on the runways of Ferragamo, Fendi and Louis Vuitton, its relaxed, slouchy style is the complete opposite of the structured designs we’ve been seeing for the last few seasons and a welcomed change.
