I love coated skinny jeans. I think coated jeans are sexy and edgy, but that doesn’t mean you have to wear them with a ton of other edgy things.
You can wear them with classic pieces, like a basic top, a statement scarf or even an oversized sweater.
The key is to keep your accessories neutral so they don’t compete with the jeans’ hue—and it’s okay if everything isn’t exactly in line with your coat’s color scheme!
There’s nothing wrong with mixing things up once in a while!
1. Wear a basic top
A basic top is any tee, tank, or blouse that is easy to pair with your favorite coated jeans.
A basic top should be simple and versatile. It can be plain or patterned, but it should never be too busy or loud.
Basic tops are great because they’re flexible and can easily be worn with different types of jeans! If you want to go for a more casual look, try pairing your coated skinny jeans with a plain white v-neck tee.
Or if you prefer something more formal (like so many of us), then try pairing them with an oversized button-down shirt that has some intricate detailing like lace on the sleeves or at the neckline.
Whatever kind of outfit you choose today—I hope this guide helped give some outfit ideas!
2. Tuck your top in
You can also tuck your top in to create a more streamlined shape. Tucking in your top creates a waistline, which makes your waist look smaller and creates the illusion of longer legs.
Tucking in a top also helps to reduce any ab flab that might be hanging out over the waistband of your pants (not pretty).
It’s best to opt for a fitted shirt that hits just below the hips when tucked; this way, it will stay put while you walk around with it tucked.
If you’re having trouble getting comfortable with this style, try experimenting with different lengths of tops and pants until you find something that works for you.
3. Accessorize with a belt
Accessorize with a belt. A belt can be worn on the outside or inside of the coat and it’s a great way to add some personality to your outfit, no matter where you wear it.
Try wearing one in a different color than your pants, or use one with an interesting buckle as a statement piece.
4. A double-breasted blazer
We’re big fans of the blazers. They’re a great way to add structure and definition to any outfit, especially if you want to dress up your look without adding too much bulk.
A double-breasted blazer is a classic way to do this; it can be worn in so many different ways, depending on the style and fit of your jeans!
For example, when paired with coated skinny jeans, a double-breasted blazer will help add contrast between the two different textures: smooth denim versus structured wool.
This creates an interesting juxtaposition that’s sure to make heads turn wherever you go!
5. Oversized sweater
Sweaters are a great way to add warmth, and they can be worn with a lot of different styles.
It’s important to keep in mind that the sweater should fit snugly so it doesn’t look sloppy when you wear it over your jeans.
Choose a thicker sweater if you want something more casual or a thinner one if you’re looking for something more formal-looking.
6. Classic winter coat
There are a few things to keep in mind when you’re picking out your winter coat.
You want to make sure it’s not too heavy, because that will add weight and bulk to your outfit.
You also don’t want the coat to be too light, as this will make you look like you’re trying too hard. A third consideration is length: depending on what kind of pants or skirt you’re wearing underneath, it may look better if your coat hits at different points on your body.
At the same time, if it’s too long (and thus covers up all of those fun details), people might think that they need to bring up the subject of climate change with you—which we all know can be awkward at dinner parties!
Finally, pay attention to how tight the jacket fits around each body part individually so as not to distort their shape or create unflattering bulges where there shouldn’t be any.
7. Statement scarf
One of the best ways to bring your look together is with a scarf. Statement scarves have been trending in many different styles and colors, and they can be worn in so many different ways!
You can tie them around your neck, wear them on your head or even as a belt.
If you want to wear a statement scarf with your coated skinny jeans, there are plenty of options that will work for you both.
One of the great things about this trend is that it doesn’t matter what size or length scarf you choose because all of them will look great together!
8. Wear them with sneakers, but not for too long a period of time—they’re not made for that!
Sneakers are a great shoe choice for casual wear, when you’re running errands or heading to the gym. But if you’ve got coated jeans on and need to be somewhere that requires more formal attire, then it’s time to take off your sneakers.
Instead of kicking them off after a run around the block and putting on dress shoes or boots (which would actually be too formal), try switching into some flat loafers instead.
Since they’re not high heels, they’ll help keep your calves looking long and lean—not unlike how they look in those coated jeans!
If you’re worried about how much of your ankle will be visible in flats versus heels, there’s nothing wrong with adding an ankle bootie over the top while still keeping things casual—just remember not to go overboard with embellishments like buckles or cutouts.
9. Don’t be afraid to be bold when wearing coated skinny jeans!
It’s easy to get caught up in the idea of what others think is fashionable, but it’s important to remember that fashion is ultimately subjective.
While coated skinny jeans are still a popular trend, they’re not going anywhere soon.
If you like them and feel comfortable wearing them, then wear them! Anyone who has an issue with how you dress probably doesn’t deserve your time anyway.
If you’re unsure about whether or not something looks good on you and want a second opinion, ask a friend for help—but only if it’s someone who will be honest with their opinions (and not someone who will just say whatever they think you want to hear).
Don’t be afraid of making bold decisions either; confidence goes a long way when it comes down to personal style choices too!
10. Wear whatever makes you feel confident
You are the only one who can decide what makes you feel confident, and that’s what makes you beautiful.
One of the biggest mistakes we see people make when dressing is trying to wear something just because they think it looks good on someone else.
Instead, focus on how you feel when wearing each item of clothing. This will help prevent you from overthinking your outfit choices or making an impulse purchase based on a trend rather than your own personal style.
If there’s one thing we’ve learned in our time spent styling women around the world, it’s that being yourself is always better than trying to be someone else.
When it comes to your style, this means dressing according to what makes YOU feel good: whether that means wearing jeans three sizes too big so they look like a skirt; pairing high heels with a graphic tee; or mixing prints in unexpected ways (we’re looking at YOU).
