Next to Chuck Taylors and apple pie, there’s nothing quite as all-American as the humble blue jean. They’re versatile, they’re cool, and the right pair can be worn any day of the year, during any season. That said, there’s something about fall that makes denim especially necessary, given its ability to anchor statement pieces like an oversize fur coat; add a casual element to silky, beaded, or even sequined blouses and jackets; or simply just convey a sense of ease with a great sweater or basic white tee.
And while most of us probably aren’t in the habit of overthinking what we wear with our blue jeans, it can’t hurt to glean some inspiration from fashion insiders, bloggers, editors, and street-style stars.
Whether you’re partial to classic skinnies, boho flares, or ripped-up boyfriend styles, here are 50 denim outfits to copy now.
