One thing about us…if we’re not in athletic wear, we are 99.9% of the time wearing jeans with a top. To say we are obsessed with jeans would be an understandment. We wear them all year round, but during the fall, they truly have their moment to shine.
Over the years, we’ve invested in many different brands of jeans and tried a majority of the trending styles and nothing is different this year. In fact, we’ve never been more excited for a fall-jean season. There’s the trendy barrel jean that’s popular this year, beautiful washes of classic jean styles and some higher-end jeans we’re adding to our list to invest in.
Whether you’re looking for fall jeans to wear everyday, a pair to dress up for an evening date or are looking to piece together some outfits for a cozy trip to the northeast, we’ve got you. Today we’re sharing the BEST jeans for fall that we know you’ll absolutely love.
Keep scrolling to shop the jeans you’ll want to add to your cart this season.
Trends to Keep an Eye Out For
Barrel Jeans:
Barrel jeans are the IT jean for fall. They are noted as the “most flattering jeans” of the season and we can attest. They are changing the game. These jeans have a retro fit to them — bubbling out around the thighs and tapering in towards the ankles, giving a bit of a dramatic look to an outfit.
Cuffed Jeans:
Cuffed jeans come in and out of style, but this year, we are loving the moment they’re having. Jeans with a large cuff are totally in for the fall season.
Utility Jeans:
Utility jeans give you a more industrial, casual vibe with sewn-in workwear-style panels on the sides. We love how fun and unique this style is for wearing to work or running errands on the weekend.
Patterned and Colored Jeans:
We love anticipating the different colors and patterns of jeans that are trendy every year. We anticipate to see a lot of cheetah print jeans this year and moody colored jeans like burgundy or different shades of tan and cream.
