Let’s assume you already own the obvious denim staples—skinny jeans and a chambray shirt—and pay our respect to New Kids on The Block.
This fall take your denim wardrobe to the next level by investing in a few of these must-have pieces. The best part? Each can be worn in nearly any setting paired with the right top and accessories.
1. Moto Skinnies
Show off your edgy side by sporting a pair of moto skinnies. Wear them with nearly anything—a white tank and chambray shirt for daytime, or a pair of heels and a leather jacket to accentuate this already tough look.

2. The Boyfriend Jean
Your favorite jeans are now able to be worn in all occasions—in class, running errands, out to dinner or even while at work. Make sure the fit is comfortable around your waist and bottom, looser through the thigh and knee area, and tighter again around the ankle. Make sure to roll the bottom a few times. Wear a fitted top to balance the bagginess of the boyfriend jean, and as the weather cools down feel free to live in layers. Booties are our footwear of choice to take this look from slouchy to sexy.

4. Overalls
Love them or hate them, overalls have made their mark (again) in the fashion world and seem to be here to stay…at least for now.

5. Mom Jeans
Your mom’s jeans are calling…and you’re answering. According to fall fashion, mom jeans are coming in hot. We’re loving the light wash style that suggests a vintage feel without an image of your mom (still love ya mom!) coming to mind. Pair with a crop and flats for a classic and effortless look.

6. Distressed Jeans
Meet your jean’s bad-boy cousin. Find them in lots of different styles but our favorite is the boyfriend distressed or the high-waisted distressed if you’re looking for a vintage vibe. They’re like you’re favorite jeans but a little rougher around the edges (literally).

7. Fitted Ankle Jean
What do you get when you chop off a few inches from the bottom of your favorite skinnies? Insta-chic. This style is so versatile and can be dressed up or down easily with the right top and shoes. Try sneakers and a knit during the day, or heels, a thin tank and beaded clutch at night.
