As far as wardrobe staples go, denim will always rank highly for me. You can never go wrong with a great pair of jeans, especially when you have a handful of outfit combinations you can turn to. That’s why I wanted to put together this guide on what to wear with light blue jeans so you can make the most of this classic jean color. Whether you prefer wide-leg jeans and their breezy, laid-back appeal or cool and sleek straight-leg denim, I have you covered.
The following outfits are timeless examples of how to wear light blue denim year-round. You’ll find elevated looks perfect for summer days out and more casual ensembles to screenshot for your everyday capsule. I’ve also curated everything you need to get the look as well as some of my favorite pairs of light blue jeans.
What to Wear With Light Blue Jeans
Light Blue Jeans + Cardigan + Birkenstocks
I find that other pastel shades really make light blue jeans pop. A yellow and blue color combo also feels so cheerful for spring and summer months. While plain jeans are fine, I personally love a good distressed pair, and raw hems are always a fun touch, too! Wear them with a cardigan and Birkenstocks for a look that’s perfect for every day but still feels put together.
Light Blue Jeans + White Knit Top + Sandals
While you could say that any tank top works with light blue jeans, I think a knit version is gorgeous. It just adds that little extra splash of texture. Once you have this as a base, you can accessorize to really complete the outfit. Slide sandals, a structured handbag, and stacked bracelets elevate this look. That’s really the secret to this chic outfit recipe: getting the finishing touches just right.
Light Blue Jeans + White Top + Strappy Sandals
If you prefer a wide-leg denim silhouette, bookmark this as the perfect definition of a timeless outfit featuring a light blue wash pair. This is a chic spin on the classic white T-shirt and jeans look—the turned-up sleeves give it a sophisticated twist. Add minimalist beige sandals and a matching bag, and you’ve nailed the brief. A few pieces of simple jewelry are also nice additions!
Light Blue Jeans + Blue Blouse + Slide Sandals
Blue on blue is one beautiful color combination, and it feels especially elegant when it’s created with light-wash jeans. It’s monochrome done super well, and it’s definitely an outfit I’ll be adding to my rotation. Sleek leather slides and a matching belt—plus a cute basket bag—give this look potential for really any season. A straight-leg cut is always so easy to turn to as it’s one denim shape that never goes out of style.
Light Blue Jeans + White T-Shirt + Sneakers
I will forever love an outfit that expertly combines jeans and sneakers—especially white sneakers. Copy this look by mixing a fresh white tee and white sneakers with wide-leg jeans in a light blue hue. A simple bracelet or bangle, or even a cool pair of earrings is all that’s needed. Together, you get one of the most classic jeans outfits of all time.
Light Blue Jeans + White Waistcoat + Sandals
A cropped, wide-leg pair of jeans wins in my eyes for so many reasons. For one, you can show off your favorite shoes—whether that’s a pretty pair of sandals in the summer or a cool pair of boots in fall. They’re also a perfect match for nearly any top you have in your closet. Although I will say that this specific look really caught my eye. I love that us ladies have reclaimed the waistcoat! They’re such a fun alternative to your usual tank tops, and the tailored fit of them is so flattering.
Light Blue Jeans + White T-Shirt + Mesh Flats
I love that this outfit combines trendy pieces with classic ones. That’s the best way to make the most of what’s already in your closet and the more timely items that catch your eye. As mentioned, it doesn’t get more classic than a white tee and light blue jeans, but a sleek leather belt and the very in-style mesh flats are perfect edits to this timeless combo.
Light Blue Jeans + Button-Up Shirt + Heels
Leave it to heels to literally and figuratively elevate your light blue jeans outfits! While these pants usually give off more casual vibes, this look proves how quickly you can change that with the right shoes and accessories. A trendy braided bag and stacked silver jewelry turn this into an outfit ready for happy hour or date night. I also think that the crisp button-up blouse really seals the deal. I also think you could swap out the heels for loafers or sneakers if you need a casual workwear look.
