Jeans and boots are practically my uniform, but if years of relying on this tried-and-true combination has taught me anything, it’s that not all pairings are created equal. Some stop at functional, whilst others feel distinctly elevated. Case in point? Olivia Dean’s latest look.
Stepping out in New York, the singer styled one of the chicest denim silhouettes I’ve spotted this season, opting for a slouchy, low-rise pair in a rich, dark blue wash. While mid-rise, cigarette-cut jeans have dominated winter wardrobes of late, Olivia’s relaxed alternative felt even cooler, with the kind of nonchalant ease that I could only hope to achieve.

Then came my favourite part. Rather than leaning into something overly casual—as would be tempting to do, given the relaxed denim choice—Olivia sharpened the look with a pair of pointed-toe boots in a dark chocolate mock-croc finish. Cut with a sleek stiletto heel, they brought drama and elegance to the laid-back denim, while also tapping into the deep, decadent colour palette fashion people are gravitating towards right now.
Completing her look, she slung Bottega Veneta’s Maxi Veneta Bag (£6730) over her shoulders, its glossy leather mirroring the richness of her boots. A cosy bomber jacket and fuzzy earmuffs added warmth, rounding out what might just be one of the chicest winter outfits I’ve seen this season.
