These Outfits Prove A Black Jumper With Jeans Is The Ultimate Cool Girl Uniform
Take a quick look inside my wardrobe and you’ll notice that there are two items which I own far too many of. One is a classic black jumper, and no, before you berate me, they’re not all the same. Any connoisseur knows that a truly hardworking wardrobe needs a plethora of different styles at their disposal—think roll necks and mock necks, chunky knits and thin weaves—because, believe me, it's a style you’re going to reach for on repeat.
My other weakness is denim, and once again, I firmly believe it can’t be held against me that I own 20+ pairs. After all, is there any piece more staple than a great pair of jeans? I think not. Whether I’m heading for dinner and drinks, a day out or even the office, it’s highly likely I’ll either be wearing jeans or that I strongly considered them before switching them for whatever outfit did make the cut that day.
As I’m sure you’ve guessed by now, I’m not writing this article to suggest I’m going to change my ways and, while I am by no means saying you need to have quite as big a collection of black jumpers and jeans in your wardrobe as I do, I’m a big believer that everyone should own at least one variation of the classic combination.
Why? Well, in my humble opinion, a black jumper and jeans outfit always looks incredibly chic with just the right amount of polish for a multitude of different occasions. You might think it's boring, but actually, this duo is extremely elegant. Sometimes the most simple of looks are... Plus, if you feel the duo looks a little too basic, it can easily be elevated with a few added accessories.
To prove it, I’ve pulled together five of my favourite black jeans and jumper looks from five seriously stylish women to serve as inspiration. And, if you haven’t added at least one more black jumper to your own wardrobe by the time you get to the end of this, I’ll be very surprised…
