Fall Denim: Essential Styles For Effortless Fashion

 
 

FALL IS HERE, LET’s TALK ABOUT

JEANS THAT FIT

The leaves are changing, which means it’s time to swap out the summer wardrobe and embrace one of fall’s staples: denim. And let’s be real—jeans are always in style, but finding a pair that makes you feel good is the real win.

This season, it’s all about blending comfort, confidence, and versatility. Whether you’re into classic straight-leg cuts, modern flares, or the ever-polarizing skinny jeans (yes, they’re still here, and they can look amazing on any body), there’s a style out there for everyone. So let’s dive into the must-have jean styles for fall that not only look good but feel good, no matter where you are in your body confidence journey!

Today on my Instagram feed @caralynmirand, I posted a denim try-on, but instead of focusing just on the jeans themselves, I wanted to have a bigger conversation. One that’s about finding clothes that fit you—not the other way around. It’s easy to get caught up in sizes or trends, but the real goal is to feel confident in your own skin, no matter where you are in your body journey. Because whether we’re up five pounds, down five, or somewhere in between, we deserve to wear clothes that make us feel good right now.

 
 
 

My Favorite Styles LATELY

Cropped kick-out jeans like these (use CARALYN20) are a perfect way to ease into wide leg without fully committing, they look great on so many shapes and work with flats, sneakers, or boots. With a slight flare at the hem, these jeans add a playful yet polished touch to any outfit, making them ideal for transitioning from casual daytime looks to evening outings.

The straight-leg jeans continue to dominate this fall. Their clean, structured silhouette offers versatility, pairing effortlessly with everything from oversized sweaters to blazers, making them a go-to choice for both casual and elevated looks. I prefer more of a slim straight jean (a good segue from true skinny jeans) like this one or this one!

Bootcut and flare jeans are also on trend. I just got this under $30 pair, and I’ve been wearing it nonstop! Their fitted-through-the-thigh design balances out wider tops and jackets, creating a stylish, retro-inspired look that's perfect for pairing with heeled boots or a chunky platform.

While there are tons of denim trends to explore this season, the most important thing is finding a pair that you love, and that makes you feel confident and comfortable in your own skin. Here are a few of my picks!
