Don’t Pack Away Your Jeans Just Yet—8 Chic Celeb Outfits That Prove Denim is Still a Summer Staple
I must admit when I think of summer outfits, my mind usually goes straight to floaty dresses, linen trousers, and basically anything else that lets my skin breathe. But here in the UK, where sunshine can switch to showers in a split second, jeans remain an essential part of the summer capsule wardrobe. And while denim might not scream “heatwave attire,” there are many ways to make them work for even the hottest of days.
One of the places I like to look to for inspiration is celebrity street style. Unlike the flashy red-carpet gowns and haute couture we often see them in, most celebrities' off-duty outfits are comfortable, chic, and, most importantly, easy to style. Think relaxed t-shirts, pretty blouses and lightweight but sophisticated tailoring- all clever but straightforward styling tricks that will make summer jeans outfits feel elevated and cool (in every sense of the word). Below, I’ve rounded up seven chic but wearable jeans-based outfits that I’ve spotted on stylish celebs this summer season.
From light-wash baggy jeans paired with halter-neck tops to seventies-inspired flares styled with trending boho blouses, keep scrolling for some summer jeans outfit inspiration.
8 Celebrity Jeans Outfits to Copy for Summer 2025:1. T-Shirt + Turn-Up Jeans + Leather Flats
Style Notes: The white t-shirt and wide-leg jeans combo is a classic you can't go wrong with. To make it just that little more elevated, take a cue from Kendall Jenner, and opt for a pair of turn-up hem jeans and a shoulder bag in luxe fabrication such as suede.

Style Notes: If this celebs have taught me anything, it's that the jeans-and-a-nice-top combo will never fail. So many stylish celebs have been spotted wearing this chic combo, but I especially love how Laura Harrier has incorporated a more structured top and contrasted it against the looser-fit straight jeans and pared-back flip-flops.

Style Notes: When in doubt, double denim will always be my go-to and I love the simplicity of Lori Harvey's Canadian Tuxedo paired with a plain white tank. To make this combo feel more '2025', follow her lead with a pair of snake-print boots. There's just something about animal print that feels so elevated but still remains within minimalists', like myself, comfort zones.
Shop the Look:
Style Notes: A plain tee and ripped jeans can feel a little casual, so opt for a tailored linen blazer to dress the combo up. Add a pair of sleek leather slides like Halle Berry has for an outfit that you can wear for a chilly summer day in town.

Style Notes: You can always count on Sienna Miller to take a classic outfit and make it edgy. The timeless t-shirt and baggy jeans pairing is actually from 2008, but remains relevant to this day.
Shop the Look:
Style Notes: When the weather gets too hot, a cropped silhouette will serve you well. Keep things comfy like Jennifer Lawrence and opt for a flowy pair of wide-leg jeans with some easy slip-on Birkenstock slides.

Style Notes: On those cold summer days, a soft suede blazer, as Dakota Johnson has opted for, will offset the rigidity of the denim and leather in this look. Add a simple bodysuit and let the luxe fabrications do the talking, not to mention it's a comfy but stylish base layer in case it gets too hot for the blazer.

Style Notes: Jeans and a flowy blouse is a timeless summer formula that works every time. To play even more into the boho feel, go for a pair of flared jeans and some wedges, like Jennifer Lopez has, to keep hems off the floor.
