There’s a time and place for my midi skirts, and I’m always partial to a pair of tailored trousers for the office, but the honest truth is that I spend most of my days in jeans. They’re comfortable, versatile, and so easy to dress up or down for any occasion. But I have to be honest and say that my jeans outfits are starting to feel a little “samey”. So, for 2026, I’m on the hunt for easy ways to elevate my denim outfits, and while there are a number of cool jeans trends set to dominate 2026, I’m much more interested in which colours can be paired with the denim I already own to add some interest to my outfits.
And after browsing both the spring/summer 2026 runways and my favourite fashion influencers on Instagram, I’ve found seven that I can’t wait to try out. An even mix of elegant, pared-back shades for my fellow minimalists, as well as bolder, more daring hues for the braver dressers among us, there’s something for everyone in my edit below.

7 Colour Trends to Wear with Jeans in 2026
1. Bubblegum Pink
Style Notes: Unlike the paler baby shades we saw dominate earlier this year, and much more like the brighter Barbie pinks that took off in 2023, fashion people are fully embracing bubblegum pink this year.
