This is an intervention \u2014 a jeans rut intervention. I know, we tricked you into being here with that headline. Sorry about that. But there are times we can slip into a jeans-and-tee rut without even knowing it. Miranda Kerr wears some really fabulous jeans outfits with tees, pairing her floral denim and striped tops with perfect pointy-toe pumps. But that’s not the kind of rut we’re talking about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We’re talking about the ho-hum jeans and t-shirt combos you throw on when you’re just out of the shower and realize you need to pick up something from the drugstore ten minutes ago. And there you are, in your skinny Madewell blue jeans and soft Splendid gray tee \u2014 both absolute staples, but not inherently exciting \u2014 and you run into an ex-boyfriend. And then you’re all “I don’t look minimalist-cool \u2014 I look boring,<\/i>” and freaking out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So maybe you showed up looking for jeans outfits, but we’re going to show you something better. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

6 easy alternatives to the jeans outfit<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The denim dress and sandal<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Denim
The Denim Dress, $29.99, Shoptiques \/ Italian Shoemakers Selah Sandal, $39.99, Shoptiques\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/g>\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/clipPath>\r\n <\/defs><\/svg><\/span><\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

This denim dress has a collar, pockets and buttons, so it looks kinda complicated \u2014 like you put some effort into getting dressed. Except it\u2019s so easy. Toss it on with simple sandals and you\u2019re good to go. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. The cool-girl jeans outfit <\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Outfit
ASOS DESIGN Wide-Legged Jeans, $17.50, ASOS \/ Top Shop Ribbed Tee, $8.99, Nordstrom<\/use><\/svg><\/span><\/a> \/ Ralph by Ralph Lauren Aviators, $98, SmartBuySunglasses<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Okay, wait. Jeans and a t-shirt combos can look fresh, especially when you step out of the conventional slim jeans and slightly slouchy t-shirt pairing. Pick an exaggeratedly boxy top and some wide leg denim, then add a pair of classic aviators to finish it off. (Tip: try SmartBuySunglasses for deals on brand-name sunnies!) It\u2019s still jeans and a t-shirt. But really, it\u2019s so much more. This has attitude. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. The easy cotton pant (For grown-ups)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Cotton
Mango Straight Cotton Trouser, $49.99, Macy’s<\/use><\/svg><\/span><\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

If you were reaching for jeans and a t-shirt you probably don\u2019t want to wear fancy silk pants. Gotcha. But if you pick up a pair like these \u2014 cotton, machine washable, casual but cool pants \u2014 you\u2019ll look more polished with no extra effort. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Pretty shorts<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Shorts,
ASTR The Label Sutton Shorts, $40, Revolve \/ Brave Soul Sinisa T-Shirt, $10, ASOS<\/use><\/svg><\/span><\/a> \/
Skechers Cleo Flat, $49.99, DSW<\/use><\/svg><\/span><\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Something about a great pair of shorts just feels more put-together than plain old jeans. There\u2019s conviction behind your choice, like \u201coooooh, you\u2019re doing a shorts look today.\u201d Pick shorts that are high-waisted or scalloped, with enough fabric so don\u2019t feel like you\u2019re wearing booty shorts. They\u2019ll be pretty, and you\u2019ll be comfortable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. The button-down swap<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Jeans<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Same theory as the no-fuss pants: slip on a button-down with those jeans instead of a t-shirt, and it\u2019ll look crisper. Extra points for a cool print, of course. And yeah, we\u2019d suggest cotton ones that don\u2019t require any dry cleaning so you\u2019ll actually wear them over and over. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Dress and sneaks <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Dress
The White Company Jersey Dress, $39.50, Selfridges \/ Sperry Top-siders, $54.99, DSW<\/use><\/svg><\/span><\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Jersey t-shirt dresses like this are basically nightgowns that are considered cool to wear in public. So honestly, they\u2019re even easier to default to than jeans and t-shirt. And when you add classic white sneakers, it looks stylized in an off-duty model<\/a> kind of way. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
