We created a summer ensemble – high-waisted black denim trousers and a one-shoulder white ruffled top. To finish the look, we picked out a classic off-white leather handbag.

For accessories, you can’t go wrong with either gold earrings or a bracelet to match the details of your bag. As for shoes, sandals and slides are both good choices.

What to wear with bootcut black jeans?

Bootcut Black Jeans with a Blue Denim Jacket

In contrast to flared pants, bootcut trousers have a wide silhouette and the ends of the pants are not as wide as in flared trousers.

With this ensemble, we wanted to demonstrate how black jeans can be combined with a denim jacket. We decided on blue to maintain visual harmony since wearing a black denim jacket would have created an aesthetically discordant look. Alternatively, you could choose a white denim jacket for the same effect. The T-shirt in addition to the belted denim jacket draws attention toward the waistline, creating cohesion throughout the entire ensemble.

When it comes to shoes, you have two great options: platform boots or white sneakers.

  1. Alaïa: Blue Denim Wrap Jacket
  2. Dion Lee: Paneled Ribbed Cotton-Jersey Ivory T-Shirt (Similar)
  3. Golden Goose: Journey High-Rise Bootcut Black Jeans

Black Jeans and a Cropped Linen Shirt

To achieve this summer look start with a cropped printed V-neck shirt with a tied front for definition. Combine it with bootcut black jeans.

To complete the look, consider accessorizing it with a classic black bucket hat or a trendy raffia shoulder bag or a tote.

  1. Gigi Burris: Ida Black Straw Bucket Hat
  2. Zimmermann: High Tide Cropped Printed Linen and Silk-Blend Shirt
  3. Golden Goose: Journey High-Rise Bootcut Black Jeans

What goes well with flared black jeans?

Flared Pants with a One-Shoulder Ruffled Top

For this summer style, we crafted an outfit beginning with flared black jeans and a one-shoulder ruffled white top. To add playfulness to the look, we chose a green shoulder bag.

Flared pants pair perfectly with all types of shoes, from sandals and wedge espadrilles in warm weather to platform boots for colder days. You can also pair them with chunky sneakers.
