If I suggest a cool spring outfit, it involves this jacket and these jeans

Given my role as a fashion editor, many members of my team ask me for style and shopping recommendations. A friend of mine recently wanted to hear from me on a cool outfit idea she could try this spring. The key is that she wanted something easy that only had a few parts. I immediately suggested a look that I've seen all over my Instagram feed for the past few months. Yes, I'm referring to an outfit consisting of a leather jacket (bonus points for casual style) and baggy jeans. As for the other pieces, it's easy basics like a simple knit and loafers.

To further showcase this outfit formula in all its glory, I'm sharing some of my favorite takes on the look below. You'll notice that each set is unique on its own, but all have that same trendy vibe. If you're in the mood to shop and want to add new pieces to your wardrobe, inspired product recommendations are also offered.
