If denim is a year-round staple (it is), then fall is it’s favorite season. As the air gets cooler, so does the fashion, and even those foundational closet pieces develop more of a flair.
After all, it’s no secret, we love denim. It has something to do with just how personal it is. Finding the perfect fit that makes you pause and smile at your reflection, or better yet, doesn’t make you pause at all because you *know* just how good you look in it. Add in the fact that denim is season-spanning (i.e. see year-round reference above), it has the potential to be as fashion-forward, or as classic, as we need.
So, let’s talk trends, specifically the ones we’re loving for fall.
You won’t be disappointed.
Destruction
Traditionally a warm-weather favorite, we are seeing destruction being pulled forward into the cooler months. Making the trend feel fresh for fall? Pairing smaller, heavy destructed details with a darker wash for an ideal seasonal balance that still plays nicely with all of your heavier fabrics on top. So this fall go ahead, rip it up.
style tip: pair heavier destructed denim with a more polished top like this matching set from Gilded Intent for the ultimate off-duty look
Flares
Now here is a hem to write home about. Flares have become more and more of a consideration in our denim line-up and this fall may be when they start to pull ahead. Everything from a cropped kick flare, to a classic bootcut, to a super flare that results in (visually) longer legs – with so many variances, it’s tough to lost interest.
style tip: bring on the heeled booties! fall’s favorite shoe is having a major moment when paired with flares and help keep that longer leg illusion alive and well
Wide Leg
We love a rule breaker, and wide leg jeans are that in denim form. Whether channeling your inner ’90s chic, or keeping it in the family with a mom or dad fit – we are loving a bit more fabric added to our denim.
While this trend is definitely vintage inspired we’re seeing more and more options that prioritize comfort while keeping the throwback look. Think a 100% cotton look without the rigid feel. But if you want to stay true to the original, we have 100% cotton options, too.
Oh, and we can confirm the rumors: the higher the waist, the closer to heaven (;.
style tip: tuck your top in at the waist to really play up your silhouette
Waist Details
The only thing better than a classic is a classic with a modern twist. This season look out for added details that may just steal the show, especially at the waist. Small details tend to make a big impact, and keep us reaching for that same pair of jeans for seasons to come. Again, you can’t beat a classic.
style tip: a good bodysuit is your best friend both for your showing off your killler figure, and for showing off these show-stoppers
