Making Basic Jeans and Black Boots Look Elegant Is Easy—Just Add This Coat Color Trend

One thing I've realized is that no matter how experienced a shopper is or how effortlessly chic someone dresses, every fashion person eventually returns to the basics—especially jeans and black boots. Usually, the look is completed with a black coat or sweater, and while there's nothing wrong with that timeless combination, it can start to feel a little predictable. So instead, for those looking to revive the foolproof formula, might we suggest the fresh coat color trend recently seen on Dua Lipa? Beige.

While out in NYC this week, Lipa was spotted wearing blue wide-leg jeans with black heeled boots and a beige car coat. She put together a casual yet elevated outfit that reflects her signature polished aesthetic by finishing her look with Bottega Veneta's Campana bag and a Supreme Yohji Yamamoto beanie.

A beige coat may seem like an understated choice, but that's exactly what makes it a powerful style move. When paired with blue jeans and black boots, a beige coat softens the contrast and adds a fresh touch to the otherwise classic combination. And, as fashion insiders know, when the colors of your outerwear and footwear intentionally don't match, it creates an editorial and overall cool look. Keep scrolling to see Lipa's outfit and shop the pieces needed to re-create it.
