30 Ways To Wear: Grey Skinny Jeans & Weekday Wear Link Up!

Another 30 ways to wear post for today's Weekday Wear Linkup! Each month I hunt through my blog archives to find things I've worn 30 times or more and put together these posts to give you some ideas and inspiration for how you can rewear similar pieces in your own wardrobe. There are so many ways you can remix and rewear!


30 Ways To Wear: Grey Skinny Jeans


30 ways to wear grey skinny jeans away from the blue outfit idea blogger


These jeans are overdue a post - I was hoping I'd hit 30 wears with them soon and was surprised I'd managed 34 wears of them already! They do go with so much. Like a classic blue skinny jean, I find they go with everything. With these in my wardrobe I'm finding I'm not missing stepping away from the blue jeans at all!


Cost Per Wear

Cost per wear is a tricky one to calculate on these - as they were a gift from a family member on a day out during my 6 months without shopping challenge. Based on the note when I first wore them that there was a 40% off sale on they would have been $59.99, reduced from $99.99 full price. I'm not completely sure though as I didn't buy them myself! At 34 wears so far that's $1.76 per wear. If I should even be calculating that on something I didn't buy, really it's $0 per wear for me!

These grey skinny jeans have the perfect amount of stretch so that they have constantly been the most comfortable jeans, even though I've had them 3 years. They fit so nicely but don't get baggy, and because they go with everything and are so comfortable they were one of the pairs I took with me on our Europe trip. It's easy to see why these 'Cecile' jeans sold out so quickly, and I'm a little upset that Jeanswest haven't created a similar pair of jeans since. They are so soft! Excited to share 30 of my favourite ways I've worn them.


Grey Skinny Jeans With Prints

A basic grey pair of jeans goes with everything really, as you'll see in the rest of these pics! The best thing about classic denim is a neutral grey is you can pair it with any print or colour. Printed tops, kimonos or scarves work well with plain jeans, and you can clearly see I especially love wearing stripes with these!


Grey Jeans In Monochrome Outfits

These are not all completely monochrome outfits as it's hard for me to resist adding a little colour here and there with accessories! I do like these mostly monochromatic outfits as it shows that other neutrals like black, grey and white work really well with grey jeans. You can add in a pop of colour with accessories as I like to do, or keep it simple and stay completely monochromatic.


Grey Skinny Jeans With Blue

As I said above, every colour looks so good with these jeans! So I wanted to call out some of my favourites, and blue is one of the best! No matter if it's a blue scarf or top or bag...these grey jeans work well with any shade of blue, from a little too a lot and more muted tones to bright cobalt. The brighter blues really pop!


Grey Jeans With Orange

Orange is a pretty statement colour to wear in any shade, although it's one I have been enjoying buying and wearing more of lately. With a bright orange piece in your outfit a neutral grey pair of skinny jeans is a good base to stop things feeling too bright or over the top, especially if you are just easing into the orange colour!


Red And Grey Skinny Jeans Outfits

While red and black can seem a bit harsh sometimes, red and grey go so well together! When I wear these jeans in cooler weather I like adding in red layers for a pop of colour or warmth - something small like a red tee or shoes, or bigger and bolder with a red cardigan!


Yellow and Grey Skinny Jeans Outfits

Yellow and grey is another favourite combination of mine - as you can see I do really enjoy wearing my mustard cardigan and Rebecca Minkoff micro Regan bag with these grey skinny jeans! As with the other colours above you can keep it small with a single pop of yellow like a yellow top, or a bit brighter with two yellow pieces like a bag and cardigan combination.


Adding Colour to Grey Skinny Jeans With Layers And Accessories

As you've seen above these jeans really get worn a lot in the cooler weather when I can add extra layers. The neutral colour means they never clash with whatever I want to wear. It also means I feel confident adding even more colours into my outfits. Something small like a purple scarf, or bigger with a pink scarf and bag, magenta cardigan and purple accessories, or even a teal bag and scarf with a mustard cardigan. There is no colour combination I haven't liked with these jeans, they are such a staple! You really can wear them with anything.

  11. Grey really is a perfect color for jeans. Just as versatile as blue jeans in my opinion! I should get myself a new pair, I had a pair from Sass & Bide years ago but I outgrew them, haha!

  21. I'm very impressed that you've worn these grey skinnies over 30 times, and I wouldn't be at all surprised if they reach a multiple of this eventually. They must be even more versatile - and look far more interesting! - than blue jeans. I'm sure you won't be surprised if I tell you I'm loving the colourful looks you've created with them the most, especially those with yellow, orange and red! Have a great week, Mica! xxx

  22. This post is making me wonder why I don't have a pair of gray skinnies in my closet! They really do go with everything, but something about the gray paired with red is so pretty!

  23. The outfits with the orange and yellow are my favourites - the jeans really allow the colours to shine there. Grey is such a good neutral that way, and good all year round too. Well done on your 30 wears, Mica!

    Thanks so much for the link-up - I'll be there shortly. :)

  25. I love all the ways you have styled these skinny grey jeans. They are such a great basic, aren't they. I like how you paired them with monochrome, neutrals and blue but my favourite looks are those where you wore them with orange, yellow and red items and accents.

  26. You look so darling in all these looks, Mica! I love gray jeans too. I find they are quite versatile and change up my style from my everyday blue jeans. :)

  31. Love seeing so many cute outfits, Mica! Grey jeans definitely are a staple. I have a pair of floral ones and a pair with bedazzles on the knees, but I actually don't wear either that much. And I never know what to do with cost per wear when the item is a gift, either! Should I say it was $0? I don't know! And with sale items, do you use the sale price for your cost per wear or do you use the original price?
    Hope your week is off to a great start!

  36. They are gorgeous and versatile. I love how much wear you are able to get from them! It is also wonderful that they don't become baggy. There is nothing more frustrating than a pair of pants that loses it's stretch and shape the longer you wear them.

    But I totally understand why you are upset that they are discontinued - that is really annoying when you find something you really enjoy.
