t’s officially the middle of autumn here in the UK. But to be honest, it didn’t really hit me until last week, when the temperature really dropped, that we’re well into the cold-weather season. This, of course, meant that I finally took the time to pack away my breezy linen and cotton trousers to make room for all of my jeans. Let’s be honest, jeans are in no way a seasonal item, but I tend to only keep 1 or 2 pairs out throughout the warmer months for those occasional chilly summer days. Now I’ve finally unpacked my collection of different denim washes, cuts, and lengths, ready to style up for the rest of autumn. winter and well into next spring.
My first point of inspiration? My favourite European fashion influencers, of course. I’m a firm believer that no one can style denim like a Euro girl. From the daring silhouettes I see on my commute to work in London to sleeker styles found on the more minimalist Scandi fashion set, I found a number of effortlessly chic outfits that I saved to my Instagram folder to copy.
If you, too, are in need of some fresh denim inspiration, keep scrolling for seven jeans outfits from seven different Euro destinations to copy this season.

Style Notes: A trench coat is a classic London-girl style, so of course, the Oslo girls had to make it even cooler by opting for cropped iterations that feel a lot less formal than their longer counterparts. Between that and the zebra-print ballet flats, this is an outfit that is equal parts timeless as it is fresh.
