Everyone needs a staple denim wardrobe for the hot months and the cold months, so I thought it would be a good idea to share with you 5 must have jeans for Fall right now. It differs a lot from the Summer denim that we wear and to make sure you stay classic as well as on trend, you can’t be without these 5 must have denim pieces in your closet! These are only for your bottom half, so I haven’t included jackets or shirts as that will be for another time. Enjoy these 5 jeans to wear for Fall though!
Flared Jeans
Flared jeans are always extremely popular in the Fall, it’s the time when so many ladies start bringing them back out of their closets and layering them with knits and blazers. Flared jeans have a sense of class and chicness to them that skinny jeans lack in my opinion, so if you want to go for a different look, I definitely recommend something flared.
The darker the wash the better in Fall, so don’t be afraid to even go for black or indigo blue, as well as burgundy, aubergine or brown. Corduroy is a great fabric for flares when this season approaches, so is a velvet material, so don’t be afraid to wear your flares. You can see how I styled flares in various ways for Fall before.
Moto Jeans
We all know that Balmain moto jeans are one of the best there is in the denim world, but their price tag is a little steep unfortunately, so opting for other brands is definitely on the radar. So many brands have moto jeans in their collections now, especially R13, James Jeans, One Teaspoon etc, but one thing is for sure and that’s that biker jeans are a must have for Fall.
Pairing them with a leather jacket and some ankle boots is a sure way to look stylish, on trend and give an edge to your look that it might not have had before. I’ve noticed that moto jeans are getting a little more popular now for the coming season, maybe because they are cooler weather jeans with the quilting and details going on, so now is the best time to wear them! Check out these True Religion moto jeans.
Skinny Jeans
The ever classic skinny jean is so season-less, I had to include it. Not only are skinny jeans amazing for Fall because the hems don’t get wet like bootcut or flared jeans, but they go with anything and everything. If you feel like wearing a blazer, it’s fine. If you feel like wearing a sweater, it’s fine. The same goes for a coat, a poncho or a chic top. The footwear choices are also limitless, so if there’s one pair of jeans you need for Fall, it’s absolutely a pair of skinny jeans.
Much like the flares, go for a darker colour palette, so grey, black, brown, indigo, mid to dark blue or jewel tones. Again these work in corduroy or velvet as well since those are the perfect, luxurious fabrics for cooler weather. You can either opt for a more classic 12 inch skinny which is coming back in fashion, or you can go with the ankle peg skinny for something more comfortable. If you want to make skinny jeans even more Fall appropriate, I recommend tucking them into long boots! You can shop the best selection of skinny jeans at Shopbop.
Vintage Straight Leg Jeans
You may have noticed that the vintage fit straight leg jeans became quite popular in the Spring and Summer, mostly thanks to RE/DONE and Levi’s re-designing their classic 501. This trend is carrying over into Fall and Winter so you might want to think about picking up a pair. A lot of fashion bloggers and street style stars wear vintage fit straight jeans like this, so you will definitely be on trend.
The key to making these look modern and stylish is in the styling, so make sure you pair them with sleek heels and a tight fitting sweater or top so the jeans are the only loose part of the outfit. That way it wont overwhelm your frame. I love the look of this pair above, they fit perfectly! Shop similar styles to this online at RE/DONE.
Leather Jeans
Finally, we have leather pants. I’m not saying that these need to be real leather as there are plenty of faux leather options out there, especially from BLANK NYC with their vegan leather collection (which I wear), but leather is the perfect material for Fall. It’s warm and it looks so luxurious and fashionable, you can’t go wrong with it.
I think black or burgundy leather works the best and in a skinny fit is usually ideal as it means you can team them with boots or coats and jackets. These two colours make a great neutral base for your styling to be creative. I love this look above on Adriana Lima. I think she makes the leather pants really pop and stand out with the bright red. You can take inspiration from the many celebs we have seen rocking leather pants though (especially Rosie Huntington-Whiteley) and make sure you get a pair for Fall!
