Take a peek into any fashion girl's closet, and we're willing to bet she owns at least one pair of black jeans. They're the building blocks to some of the best street style outfits, and denim's versatility is what makes it timeless. Black jeans, especially, can be worn with sweaters, ruffled tops, red boots, and just about anything you can name. But like all basics, sometimes we get a little tired of our go-to pair. If you're stuck in a style rut with your black bottoms, we found some simple ways to rework the look. They don't require much effort, as the street style stars ahead can attest to. And if you're searching for new black denim styles, we have some options picked out just for you.

Black jeans provide a good base for you to go a little more over the top in other areas, like with a furry pink and green coat. Make a statement with one item, and let the rest of your outfit be more plain.

To pull off this look, all you need are a hoodie, jeans, and flats. Cover up in a printed coat for a more dressy feel.

A pair of black over-the-knee boots blends right in with your black jeans, making your legs seem miles long.

Go the casual route and dress down your jeans with a simple button-down.

To make your blazer or suit jacket feel less formal, wear it with black jeans. Leave it unbuttoned to show off a cool shirt underneath.

When you want to dress down completely, black denim and black boots should be your go-to.

For that Parisian-girl feel, wear a buttoned wool blazer with your jeans.

Dress up your black denim with a bright, printed floral top.
