9 Effortless Ways to Wear Fall's Biggest Jeans Trend
Ready to throw it back to the 1970s this fall? When it comes to denim trends this season, one of the most popular silhouettes we spotted all over the fall runways were high-waisted wide-leg jeans (yep, the Farrah Fawcett kind), and they're back for 2023.
Whether you style yours with a simple white tee, lean into the '70s trend and pair them with earth-tone hues, or keep it classic with a cashmere sweater and check blazer, wide-leg jeans are the refreshing silhouette your closet has been craving. Read on for nine effortless ways to style the trouser-like silhouette, and shop our favorite pairs out there.
While the temps are still pleasant, pair your wide-leg jeans with a cropped top and accentuate the high waist with a belt.
Shop the look:
There's nothing more classic and effortless than wide-leg jeans and a relaxed white button-down.
Shop the look:
Change up your denim wash and opt for a chic ivory hue (a big color trend this fall), and pair the rest of your outfit with similar shades for a seriously sophisticated look.
Shop the look:
Nothing beats a leather jacket and wide-leg jeans.
Shop the look:
Simple, easy, and effortless, a black tank top tucked into your wide-leg jeans is a combo that always works.
Shop the look:
For a look that easily transitions from day to night, team your wide-leg flares with a silky black blouse. Add pointed-toe black boots to finish the look.
Tuck a lightly colored sleeveless turtleneck into your jeans, and finish the look with classic leather boots. It's such an easy and chic fall look.
Shop the look:
Double denim? We're certainly not opposed when it looks this good. Button up your denim jacket, and tuck it into your jeans so it functions like a top. Very cool.
Shop the look:
It doesn't get cooler than wide-leg jeans and a pair of retro Nike sneakers (à la Farrah Fawcett).
