Listen, I Love Suede, But This Bag Trend Makes Boring Blue Jeans Look Even More Elegant

By Swedan MargenOctober 22, 2025

Throughout the fall season, every year, I wear my trusty blue jeans with boots. While they are a classic style, it can be challenging to make a pair of plain jeans look elegant, as they're pretty casual at their core. Even if I wear a luxe handbag, such as a suede one, my outfits still feel a little underwhelming. According to Amanda Seyfried, there’s one bag, in particular, that will make your jeans look elegant: woven handbags.

Seyfried was spotted recently in NYC, wearing a black shirt jacket, wide-leg jeans, black boots, and a stunning woven Bottega Veneta Boston bag that was a hit in the early 2000s and is now a vintage dream item. She looked effortless and so very elegant. The added texture of the bag was the right choice, as a suede one, while rich-looking, isn't quite at the level of a woven one. I’m a fan of textured items, in general, but a textured accessory is just genius. If you think so too, keep scrolling through to recreate Seyfried’s outfit and shop similar items.
