If Your Motto is “When In Doubt, Wear Jeans”—These Denim Outfits Will Work Best

I, like many, consider jeans to be a wardrobe staple. To that, I often live by the motto, “when in doubt, wear jeans” because that perfect pair just always works and gets the sartorial job done when I need an effortlessly-chic ensemble. If you too more or less live by that same motto, I figured some denim outfit inspiration could be of interest if you’re intrigued at testing out a few fresh ‘fits for fall.

To showcase the looks in question, I scrolled through the Instagram feeds of some of my favorite fashion follows to uncover a range of solid ensembles that I think you’d particularly love. Here, I’m talking about everything from elevated vibes featuring of-the-moment tailoring to more pared-down outfits with jeans. Keep scrolling for denim outfit inspo, and shop similar pieces as well if something catches your eye.
