fall jeans Archives - the dainty details

Hello friends, happy Friday! To start your weekend off right, I thought I’d share another look I shot this week. And while I want to talk about the whole outfit, what I really want to talk about is denim. Specifically, the denim style you need to buy ASAP. So, before we get into that, let’s talk outfit details.

Since I saw it last year, I’ve been obsessed with the wayf lace top but didn’t want to spend $90 on it. So, when I saw that Vici came out with a very similar version, you can bet that I snapped it up really quick! I love the lace detailing, the puffy shoulders, and the high neck—basically everything about it! I will say, I like that the wayf version comes with a tan cami underneath, but I might just switch out the white one that came with mine to get the same look. Because the top is such a statement piece, I kept the rest of the look simple with a pair of jeans and black booties.

Fall Denim Guide

So, now onto all things denim this season! If there is one pair of jeans you are going to buy this season, 100% make it a straight leg pair. Skinny jeans are slowly getting pushed out by this similar style that is slightly more interesting. While straight legs are still pretty slim up top, there’s more room at the ankle. What I love about straight leg jeans (aside from how flattering they look on) is that they work so well with booties. Instead of trying to shove your pant leg into your booties and constantly fixing it (or having to give up and roll the jeans), straight leg denim rests over the bootie, but not so much that you can’t appreciate the cute shoe you’re wearing!

While straight leg jeans are stealing the show, they definitely aren’t the only denim trend to watch out for this fall. I’ve also seen a ton of cropped flare and wide leg jeans—and I’m loving them both! I love that the cropped flare isn’t as dramatic as a regular flare jean and it’s also more practical for me and all of my petite gals. And wide leg jeans are such a fun 70s-esque throwback! They’re also very flattering. And now that I’ve shared the fall denim trends you should try, check out some of my picks for each trend!
