I'm not exaggerating when I say I wear jeans almost every day. Okay, maybe not in 90-degree weather, but for most of the year, denim is part of my weekly outfit rotation. Throughout fall, in particular, jeans become the foundation of my daily outfits. Who doesn't love wearing jeans and boots with a cozy sweater?
Since jeans are an integral part of my daily wardrobe, I'm always mustering up ways to make them feel fresh and on-trend. In fact, there is a hefty Saved folder on my Instagram aptly named Cool Jeans Outfits filled to the brim with chic denim styling ideas. Today, I wanted to share a handful of these looks in case you, too, are looking for of-the-moment inspiration.
Take a peek below at a whole host of styling ideas to take your denim game up a notch this season.
With Something Satin
Satin is going to be a huge trend this fall and winter, and the material oozes elegance and sophistication. Adding a pair of jeans will give the luxurious fabric just the right casual touch for easy everyday wear.
With a Pop of Leopard Print
Leopard print is back in the fashion spotlight this fall, and one of the coolest ways to style the bold print is with a pair of loose and easy jeans. Whether you opt for just a pop via a bag or shoes or go for a leopard-print blouse, it will make your denim feel fresh and fun for fall.
Wear Them Low and Loose
Love it or hate it, I'm all about low-rise jeans this season. Opt for a relaxed, wide-leg silhouette for a cool, of-the-moment look.
With a Boho Blouse
Boho fashion is back and better than ever this fall thanks to the Chloé F/W 24 runway. Expect to see ruffles, chiffon, and lace boho blouses in full effect. It's the perfect piece to style with a pair of high-waisted, wide-leg jeans for that '70s look.
With Burgundy
Expect to see rich burgundy remain in the spotlight for fall. Pair your jeans (or jorts!) with a must-have burgundy bag and shirt.
With More Denim
Denim-on-denim looks continue to be a favorite among the fashion set, no matter the season. Try a denim or chambray shirt with high-waisted, wide-leg jeans for a cool fall look—zero effort required.
With Simple '90s Black Basics
It might sound basic, but every cool fashion person I know is styling their jeans with basic black tops, especially ones with minimalistic '90s silhouettes. It's chic, it's easy, and it will never fail you.
With a Bouclé Jacket
Fall is the perfect time to lean into Chanel-inspired tweed and bouclé jackets. Give the sophisticated piece a casual touch and style it with relaxed jeans.
With Cool Sneakers
Yep, there's nothing cooler than jeans and sneakers. Opt for a trendy retro-cool pair such as Adidas SL 72s or splurge-worthy New Balance x Miu Miu 530 SL suede sneakers.
