Although I was brave and still wore jeans in the summertime, they're put on heavy rotation when the weather starts to drop. I love to wear them with chunky knits and jackets, but since the weather can be a bit up and down, I've been leaning more toward lightweight tops that bring that fall touch without feeling like I'm in a sauna. Having cute tops on deck is also necessary for getting creative with layering, which I'll be doing a lot of soon.
I couldn't help myself and found 30 standout tops on the market that'll pair easily with your jeans this season. This mix has got it all, from colorful button-downs to the second-skin tops of your dreams. Expect the fall necessities, too, like ribbed and leather options. What are you waiting for? Keep scrolling and prepare to hit "add to cart."
