But you don’t have to just wear oversized blazers because they can make you look bulky and unflattering with jeans. So, lets find out some versatile styles of blazers that go really well with jeans.

Longer double breasted Blazers

Long line blazers add an effortless touch to your jeans outfit and act as a great 3rd layer if you trying to look polished and slimmer in jeans. The double breasted style makes it easy to button up and you can literally wearing any style of top or knitwear underneath it and look stylish.

The length helps create an hour glass structure even though you might not have one. This is my favorite style when it comes to looking polished and sophisticated in jeans. And you can wear any style of jeans with it. Yes you can also get away with skinny jeans.

Wrap Blazers

This is where if your blazer falls on your hips, you will still get away with it. I love the effortless coat style these wrap blazers bring to our outfit. And you don’t have to one wear them in winter with woolen wrap blazers, you can also pick ones for spring and summer.

The belt adds detail and makes it look casual and pairs really well with jeans. This style of blazer will look great with wide leg jeans, straight leg jeans, slouchy jeans, flare jeans.

Single Button Straight Blazers

The straight first blazer is a little more relaxed fit and it does not have the hour glass tailoring as the double breasted blazer does. But its still long and has structured shoulders and collar details. Its one of the most popular styles of blazer and would look great with jeans.

The tailoring elevates your denim outfits, but the relaxed fit makes your outfit versatile and you can wear it anywhere even when you are doing a grocery run.

This style of blazer comes in both woolen and summer poly blends as well as linen material, so you can rock it all season. And the best jeans to wear with them are skinny jeans, straight leg jeans, flare jeans, cropped flare jeans.

The only jeans I would not recommend are wide leg jeans or baggy jeans. While this combination is really popular in Gen Zs, it needs a skinny figure to pull this off. And if you are mid size woman like me, you might look bulky or bigger wearing them together.

Oversized Blazers

Everlane Oversized Blazers - $228

The oversized blazer is much more relaxed but its still structured and tailored if you pick the right brands. Everlane oversized blazer is one of my favorite ones that look structured and are still stylish. And they are high quality too.

These styles of blazers are great for layering with blouses and knitwear and you can rock with jeans too. The best jeans to wear with them are narrow leg or mom jeans, straight leg jeans and skinny jeans. These jeans will keep you lean at the bottom while the oversized style of the blazer will keep it relaxed and effortless up top.
