I realize as I write this that fall is technically still a few weeks away, but fashion girls everywhere are already itching to wear the upcoming season's trends. We here at Who What Wear have been covering fall 2019's major trends at length, but today we're narrowing in on one specific category: shirt trends. Particularly, shirt trends to wear with jeans.
Denim is and always will be a fall staple, and this year there are four standout top trends that are going to take over as the go-to partners to pair with jeans. From undone cardigans to puff sleeves, the below shirt trends look beyond cool paired with denim of all shapes and truly take the guesswork out of putting an outfit together. Simply pair any of the below with your favorite pair of jeans, add a cool shoe, and your look is done.
Undone Cardigans
The cardigan sweater trend was huge last fall, and that's not going to change this season. However, fashion girls are now wearing their cardigans mostly undone, aside from a button or two. This undone look is the key to making your beloved cardigan feel 2019, and it just happens to be the perfect partner to denim.
I own this sweater and can vouch for how incredibly comfortable it is.
ICYMI: Pistachio is set to be fall 2019's biggest color. Two trends, one cardigan.
This sweater clearly got the undone memo.
It doesn't get better than cashmere in autumn.
Organza Tops
Organza is the textural trend that takes a typical blouse and makes it feel instantly cooler. It complements blue denim perfectly, really making the jeans pop. I especially love the sheer sleeve detailing on many of the organza tops I've been seeing recently.
Zara does it again.
A perfect example of the aforementioned sheer sleeve detailing.
Of course Ganni takes the organza trend and takes it up a notch by adding animal print.
The tie waist guaranteed a flattering fit.
Button Details
I've noticed pretty button detailing popping up all over my Instagram feed as of late, giving tops a subtle feminine feel. Pairing a top like this with a simple pair of jeans makes the button detail really stand out.
The subtle buttons and tie sleeves give this style a romantic feeling.
It doesn't get more fall than burnt orange.
The perfect summer-to-fall transition top.
This bodysuit was made for denim.
Puff Sleeves
Puffy, voluminous sleeves are a chic complement to fitted denim, balancing out the contrasting proportions perfectly. Pair this style with your favorite straight-leg jeans and consider your outfit done.
Hello, date night.
Organza, pistachio, and puff sleeves—the ultimate fall 2019 top.
This can go from day to night like that.
The tiered puff sleeves are so unique.
