Fall Denim
In partnership with our friends at Madewell
Hold down the rewind button long enough and you’ll get to a point in time when the suggestion of wearing a version of the same thing on the daily—in other words, a uniform—felt constricting at best and like an attack on personal style at worst. But with experience comes wisdom. Like the knowledge that acquiring a uniform means liberation.
Denim in all its forms, as the experts at Madewell have proven time and again, is the foundation of the kind of wardrobe that simplifies life while simultaneously encouraging individuality. Even on the bleariest morning, reach for a pair of the inky-black Slim Wide-Legs or Perfect Vintage Jeans and you’re halfway to feeling good in your clothes all day. Go full-on denim on denim—which a goop staffer below did to enviable (and easy-to-replicate) effect with an assist from the Boxy-Crop Jean Jacket—and you’re there.

“When getting dressed feels like a chore, I find that double denim never fails to deliver. Bootcut jeans paired with a lived-in denim shirt—untucked and unbuttoned—is my idea of a utilitarian-chic uniform that’s just right for Southern California.”

“There isn’t an easier fall fit than a good pair of jeans and a pullover sweater. It’s a pairing that comes off as effortless—because it is. I like to cuff the hems so you see a sliver of socks peeking out from my work boots.”

“Fall is my favorite season because I get to wear all the jackets, particularly jean jackets. Denim on denim with the white Veja sneakers is so tomboy-chic, a little bit ’90s, and youthful—totally my thing.”

“Loose-fit, vintage-wash jeans are my most valued, no-brainer wardrobe staple. For days off, I’ll be slipping on a chunky knit sweater and a pair of pull-on boots. Easy.”

“At first glance, mom jeans and a blazer isn’t necessarily an everyday look for me, as much as I love the simplicity of it all. But it’s a combination I’d wear on days when I feel like dressing more feminine.”
