Fall Denim: The Jean Styles We're Wearing This Season

Refresh your wardrobe with the biggest fall denim trends. Discover barrel leg, wide leg, straight leg, printed, and side-stripe jeans in a variety of washes and petite sizes, plus easy...

Fall denim is getting a fresh update this season with new silhouettes, unexpected details, and washes for every style. While classic jeans will always have a place in your wardrobe, this fall is all about experimenting with the shape and finish of your denim. From barrel leg and wide leg jeans to printed styles and side-stripe details, there are plenty of ways to refresh your everyday outfits.

Whether you prefer a relaxed fit, a classic straight leg, or something a little more statement-making, our latest denim collection has a style for you. With light, medium, and dark washes plus petite sizing, finding your perfect pair has never been easier.

Barrel Leg Jeans

Barrel leg jeans continue to be one of the biggest denim trends heading into fall. Defined by their curved silhouette that widens through the leg before tapering slightly at the ankle, barrel jeans offer a fresh alternative to traditional straight-leg styles.

The relaxed shape makes them especially easy to style with fitted tops. Try pairing barrel leg jeans with a simple tank, fitted knit top, or tucked-in blouse to balance the volume of the denim. For cooler weather, add a cropped cardigan or structured jacket.

For shoes, barrel legs look great with sneakers, loafers, ballet flats, or ankle boots. A slightly shorter hem also makes them an easy choice for showing off your favorite shoes.

Wide Leg Jeans

Wide leg jeans aren't going anywhere for fall. The relaxed silhouette is comfortable, flattering, and incredibly versatile, making it an easy addition to your everyday wardrobe.

For a balanced outfit, pair wide leg denim with a fitted or slightly cropped top. A tucked-in blouse or fitted knit tank helps define your waist, while a shorter cardigan keeps the proportions looking intentional.

Want a more relaxed look? Try wide leg jeans with an oversized button-up or lightweight sweater and finish with sneakers or flats.

Straight Leg Jeans

For a classic silhouette that works with just about everything, straight leg jeans remain a wardrobe essential. Their streamlined shape makes them especially easy to dress up or down.

Wear them with:

  • A fitted tank and cardigan
  • A satin blouse
  • A graphic tee and denim jacket
  • A lightweight sweater
  • A button-up shirt

Straight leg jeans also work well with virtually any shoe, from sneakers and loafers to ankle boots and ballet flats.

Side-Stripe Denim

Denim with side stripes or contrast side-panel details is another fun way to update your jeans for fall. These styles feature a contrasting stripe, trim, or panel running along the outer leg, creating a sporty and eye-catching effect.

The vertical detail can also create the appearance of a longer leg, making this trend both stylish and flattering.

Since the side detail already makes a statement, keep the rest of your outfit simple. Try a solid tank, fitted sweater, or classic blouse and let the denim be the focal point.

Printed Denim

Who says denim has to be blue? Printed jeans are an easy way to add personality to your fall wardrobe while keeping the familiar comfort of your favorite denim silhouette.

Look for subtle prints that can be styled almost like a neutral, or choose a bolder pattern when you want your jeans to be the standout piece.

When styling printed denim, pair it with a solid top pulled from one of the colors in the print. This keeps the outfit cohesive without competing with the pattern.

Don't Forget Petite Denim

Finding the right length can make all the difference, especially when shopping for wide leg or barrel leg silhouettes. Our denim collection includes petite sizes, making it easier to find a proportion that works for your height without having to sacrifice the style you love.

Petite shoppers can try cropped barrel legs, ankle-length straight jeans, or full-length wide leg styles with a slightly higher rise to create a flattering silhouette.

How to Style Denim for Fall

The easiest way to make your favorite jeans feel ready for fall is by incorporating seasonal colors, textures, and layers.

Try these outfit combinations:

  • Dark wash wide leg jeans + satin blouse + loafers
  • Light wash barrel jeans + fitted knit top + ballet flats
  • Medium wash straight leg jeans + puff sleeve blouse + ankle boots
  • Printed jeans + solid cardigan + simple flats
  • Side-stripe jeans + fitted tank + lightweight denim jacket

As temperatures continue to drop, simply swap your tanks for lightweight sweaters and add cardigans, denim jackets, or other easy layers.
