Nothing is more foundational in a wardrobe than a go-to pair of jeans.
And with new fashion fads constantly arising every season, there’s something to be said about being able to fall back on the closet classics and being able to reach for your favorite jeans.
When dressing for the fall season and the transitional weather – the kind when a cool morning leads to a warm afternoon – relying on wardrobe essentials are key to navigating this time of year.
Casual Outfits With Jeans
This fall, why not elevate a pair of jeans with other closet essentials.
Whether it be a darker wash jean or medium blue jeans, it is all about elevating these essentials with an emphasis on sleek and strong styling.
When it comes to crafting an outfit completely centered around denim jeans, it is best to keep it to the essentials. Companions like a timeless trench coat or a tailored blazer easily complement jeans.
No need to complicate a pair of jeans with endless fashion trends. Sprinkle in a few trends via bold accessories or funky footwear, depending on your own personal style.
Scroll below for inspo for casual outfits with jeans to wear this fall.
Jacket + Denim + Boots
Lightweight leather for fall? Count us in. A little leather goes a long way when it comes to sleek fall dressing.
Instead of reaching for a denim jacket, grab a bold leather shacket for extra warmth. Use bold accessories to enhance the outfit.
Statement sunglasses, and a structured bag add personality to the casual style.
Blazer + Jeans + Flats
It’s no secret that every capsule wardrobe needs a pair of straight-leg jean. And when styled correctly, it’s the perfect anchor to a closet filled with wardrobe staples.
Statement pieces, like an oversized blazer in a neutral color, will always be in style and withstand the test of time.
For that final charming touch, ground the look with mesh ballet flats for a trendy look.
Blazer + Jeans + Ballet Flats
The blazer is, of course, a staple when it comes to fall dressing—however it may be time to consider one in a luxe material.
The leather blazer is the older, wiser cousin of the leather jacket, and the more sophisticated iteration of leather bomber jackets.
The sophisticated blazer proves that a leather iteration is surprisingly versatile.
Long-line or cropped, brown or black, the beauty of the leather blazer is that it works with everything you already own, so it will slot seamlessly into your autumn/winter wardrobe.
Trench + Top + Jeans
Sometimes the baggier, the better. Offset the casual coolness of wide leg casual jeans with a timeless trench coat and suede boots.
A khaki trench coat, a classic striped top, and autumnal boots—consider this trio pivotal to your early fall capsule wardrobe.
When in doubt for outfit ideas, it is a no-fail combination to wear throughout the cooler season.
Cardigan + Tee + Jeans
Always choose jeans with ample versatility, like a straight-leg pair that are high waisted.
From there, companions such as a timeless black blazer, a striped tee or a chic city sneaker complete the look to polished perfect.
On chillier fall days, reach for an oversized knit cardigan.
An early fall rotation needs a notable knit or two—and an oversized, cozy cardigan is the ultimate layering essential. Wear it over a cropped white shirt for a very casual look.
To assemble all these pieces together, there’s only one thing you have to keep in mind: proportions.
Top + Jeans + Ballet Flats
A pair of loose, trouser-like jeans might possibly be the coolest and most comfortable way to wear denim this fall.
They have a fit similar to that of a wide-leg trouser, but also the effortless appeal of a blue jean.
It’s easy to understand the appeal of baggy jeans : who doesn’t want a relaxed silhouette and forgiving waistline after all those years in skinny jeans?
Style tip: Balance the masculinity of the relaxed fit jeans with a chic off the shoulder top.
Finish off with chic ballet flats and a structured tote.
Button Down + Jeans + Loafers
Of all the classic closet combinations to consider, a white button-down shirt and denim are hard to beat. These everyday basics are all you need for off-duty elegance.
Complete the pared-back, but not-at-all boring look with mules and a rich autumn bag.
