Happy Friday friends! I’m not feeling quite as chipper as I was at the beginning of the week… we’ve had a very hard week with one of our daughters not wanting to go to school and I am feeling very emotionally drained. However, I am VERY happy it’s the weekend, and I’m hoping it can act as a bit of a reset.

These photos were taken the weekend before school started when everything was perfect and blissful… ha! Just kidding. This was a good day though. And it was made even better by the pair of white wide leg jeans I happened to be wearing. 😉

I’ve done a bit of an “overhaul” with my jeans this fall (that’s a bit of an overstatement, but for lack of a better word…). Most of my jeans were straight legged or tapered, and while those are still my staple silhouettes, I wanted to branch out a bit and try some of the more on trend denim silhouettes like flare, wide leg, bootcut, etc. So today I thought I would talk you through some of my favorite denim styles that I’ll be reaching for this fall…

starting with the aforementioned white wide leg jeans. In my opinion these are wide leg denim perfection. The perfect medium weight, very high waisted, not too wide or too slim in the leg, and they crop at just the right place. I love them so much I also got them in a khaki brown color. AND they’re under $60 which makes them an absolute steal! I find they run true to size. I wear a 26 in most denim and I got these in a size 4.

The khaki version:

These were my favorite jeans until I got the ones above… Citizens of Humanity is quickly becoming my favorite denim brand! These are 100% cotton so they have a very vintage feel to them, and they fit just like a good, worn in pair of vintage denim. They run true to size!

While I don’t get the hype of the AGOLDE Riley jeans, I DO love these. These are my favorite pair from AGOLDE, and they are SO good. The perfect straight leg fit, the perfect rise and inseam, and they fit like a glove. They run true to size!

These are my longest running faves and I’ve called them my magic jeans in the past… they’re that good! They just fit so perfectly, they don’t stretch out, and they are SO freaking comfortable. They run big so size down!

These are probably my most comfortable pair of jeans, and definitely my favorite light wash jeans! They just fit so good, the cropped fit is perfect with boots, and the slimmer straight leg fit is timeless. They run big so size down!

These are probably my trendiest jeans with the lower rise fit, but I love them so much! These are what I reach for on days when I can’t stand a higher waist. The looser fit, the color, they’re the perfect cool girl relaxed jeans. They run big so size down.

In terms of baggy jeans, this pair is the one to get this fall! They are so comfortable, the wash will go with everything, and they are so dang flattering. I did get my hemmed to wear with flats, but they also look really cute with heels if you keep them full length! They run true to size.

The famous way high jeans! I’ve had a few washes over the years, but this ecru color is my very favorite! This wash is such a classic and one I think everyone should have in their closet. The rise is WAY high ha! But they’re the perfect statement jeans while also still being super casual and cool. They run true to size!

Another more trendy pair of jeans, but classic enough to be with me for a good long while! I LOVE these jeans, so comfortable, the length is perfection, and the fit is beautiful. I can’t wait to wear them with flats, sneakers, boots, you name it this fall! They run big so size down.

And last, but not least the pair of jeans I wore all spring! These are a great slimmer wide leg pair of pants, and the perfect pair to try if you are intimidated by the wide leg jean trend. This is the full length and you can see that they’re still a bit cropped. They are so comfortable and they go with everything! They run big so size down.


Well that’s all I’ve got for you guys today! I hope you enjoyed this little fall denim roundup. It’s a long one, but I didn’t want to leave anything out because they’re all just so good! I hope you all have the best weekend. Love you guys!

Until next time,

Karin

    Love the jean recap here! I just bought those Madewell baggy flares after seeing them on you so cute! I sized down per your rec, buuuuut now I’m worried they’re gonna be too tight. Did yours loosen up?

    I hope your week is going better than last!
