@anoukyveWhether you walk around the streets of Paris or Amsterdam, you'll find people across Europe wearing their jeans with a single universal item this winter, and that is none other than a tailored coat. It's probably the easiest way to dress up an otherwise casual look—the cold-weather equivalent of wearing a blazer with jeans.

@annelauremaisJeans and sweaters are a tale as old as time, and I've noticed how Europeans are overwhelmingly wearing V-neck sweaters with jeans (and skirts and trousers, too) and layering them over a white T-shirt.

@femmeblkEuropeans are experts at making their jeans look ultra chic and polished. Lately, they're elevating their classic denim with pointed-toe pumps, especially walkable kitten-heel pumps that can go from day to night.

@iliridakrasniqiI spent lots of time in the feeds of cool French, Scandi, British, and Dutch women over the last few days, and one piece I've noticed repeated across all their denim outfits is a simple layering top. Whether it's a long-sleeve tee or thin turtleneck, these tops may feel "boring," but I promise you'll regret not having them on hand throughout the winter.

@nlmarilynEuropeans have mastered the art of the jeans-and-flats combo. How to not make the combo feel dated? Pairing straight-leg jeans with classic penny loafers (and bonus points for adding colorful socks).

@leiasfezChances are you already have a white button-down shirt in your closet that you've worn with jeans before, but I suggest considering one in a cool blue color like many fashion people in Paris and Stockholm are doing. The color feels a tad more academic and plays particularly well with silver jewelry, a bubbling accessory trend right now.

@anoukyveFlats may be dominating right now, but this group is hardly overlooking their classic ankle boots. Sleek and slim silhouettes are overwhelmingly their favorite styles to wear with jeans right now, specifically with elongated toe shapes and low stiletto heels.

@sylviemus_Wearing tights underneath your jeans is an outfit trick people have been utilizing for years to combat the bitter cold throughout the winter, but the cool people across Europe are revisiting this hack to add a touch of elegance to their denim ensembles, too, letting sheer and fishnet tights show through with their pumps and flats. If the cold isn't a factor, my tip is to wear sheer socks instead for the same effect without the extra layer.
