How to Style Statement Denim: 6 Looks That Do the Most

Denim is having way more fun right now. Pearls, crystals, floral washes, dramatic panels, and unexpected details are turning everyday jeans into the main event. The best part? Statement denim does most of the styling for you.

Whether you’re getting dressed for brunch, a concert, date night, or just want your everyday outfit to hit a little harder, these six For Her NYC styles make it easy.

Keep It Fresh in White Denim

White denim already feels fresh, but scattered crystal embellishments take it somewhere completely different. Style these wide-leg jeans with a fitted neutral tank or bodysuit and metallic heels for an all-white look that still has plenty of personality.

For a more relaxed outfit, add a cropped tee, sneakers, and a colorful bag. These are the jeans to reach for when you want something bright, glam, and ready for vacation dinners, rooftop drinks, or an all-white party.

Let Pearls and Rhinestones Take Over

With shimmering rhinestones and pearl details arranged in a lattice pattern, these jeans were not made to blend in. Keep the rest of the outfit sleek with a fitted black top, pointed heels, and silver accessories.

For daytime, swap the heels for a clean sneaker and add a cropped denim or leather jacket. The wide-leg silhouette keeps the look current while the embellishments bring enough drama for concerts, girls’ nights, and dinner plans.

Add a Feminine Touch with Pearls

If you love statement denim but want something a little softer, these pearl-embellished jeans are the perfect middle ground. The cascading pearl details add a feminine finish without making the outfit feel overly dressed up.

Pair them with a fitted white tank and heels for brunch, or style them with a pastel blouse and a small shoulder bag for a pretty day-to-night look. You can also add sneakers and a simple tee when you want the pearls to dress up an otherwise casual outfit.

Make Florals Feel Modern

Floral Washed Wide-Leg Denim Pants | Style 83329

Florals and denim are always a good idea, especially when the print is worked directly into a soft vintage-inspired wash. Since these wide-leg jeans already have plenty of visual interest, pair them with a solid fitted tank, bodysuit, or lightweight sweater.

Pull a color from the floral design when choosing your top or accessories to make the whole outfit feel intentional. Finish with platform sandals for warm-weather plans or ankle boots when the temperature starts to drop.

Try a Statement Detail You Can Wear Every Day

Side Button Detail Straight-Leg Denim Jeans | Style 83322

Not every statement jean needs crystals or pearls. The off-center button front gives this straight-leg pair a modern twist while still keeping them easy enough for everyday wear.

Tuck in a fitted tee or bodysuit so the button detail stays visible, then add a blazer and pointed shoes for a polished look. For something more casual, try a cropped tank, sneakers, and an oversized bag. These are the jeans you’ll wear when basic denim feels a little too basic.

Bring the Drama with Contrasting Panels

These jeans are for the plans that deserve an entrance. The classic denim front is paired with dramatic black side panels and crystal embellishments, creating movement and contrast from every angle.

Keep the top fitted to balance the wide-leg shape. A black bodysuit, corset-style top, or cropped blazer will let the panels stand out without competing with them. Finish with heels and a compact bag for date night, a concert, or your next girls’ night out.

The Secret to Styling Statement Denim

When your jeans are the standout piece, the rest of the outfit doesn’t need to work overtime. Start with a simple fitted top, choose shoes that match the mood, and keep accessories intentional. Neutrals create a sleek look, while a bold bag or colorful shoe can make the outfit feel even more playful.

From subtle button details to full crystal drama, statement denim gives you an easy way to make your wardrobe feel new again.
