You can’t have fall fashion without denim, plain and simple. This woven cotton fabric has long been loved in the form of blue jeans and jackets, but there are other ways to incorporate this autumn staple into your wardrobe, too! Here’s our ultimate guide to picking out the perfect denim pieces for every outfit as well as some unique denim looks to try out!
The Classic Blue Jean
Something a lot of blue jean enthusiasts might not realize is that there are tons of different styles and fits of jeans out there to choose from. If you thought jeans weren’t your thing because you didn’t love the tight-fitting skinny jean trend of years past, you’re not alone. It’s time to welcome jeans back into your life and try one of these other fashionable fits!
Straight-Leg Jeans
This style of jeans features a straight cut from your hip to your ankle. These tend to be made with more rigid denim than skinny jeans since they aren’t designed to hug your curves the same way skinnies do. Try styling your straight-leg jeans go great white sneakers for a vintage look, or chunky loafers for something a little more sophisticated. To elevate your look even more, swap in a pair of nude or skinny strap heels.
Skinny Jeans
Also called slim-fit jeans, these are designed to create a sleek silhouette that shows off your curves. They’re tapered to a smaller leg opening than straight leg jeans and feature a fit that is much more snug. This tight fit makes them perfect for wearing with calf and knee-high boots because they let you put your footwear on full display without the fabric of your pants bunching uncomfortably inside the boot. Skinny jeans also go great with flats and kitten-heel pumps as well as ankle boots and fashion sneakers.
Bootcut Jeans
Bootcut jeans feature a flared opening at the bottom, making them the perfect pair for tons of different shoe styles. Instead of sitting on top of or tucking into your shoes, this denim style is designed to go over the tops of your shoes or boots. Like the name suggests, this style of women’s jeans goes great with ankle and mid-calf boots as well as pumps and sneakers. Want to give your outfit a bit of western flare? Try a pair of cowboy boots with embroidered details for a fun extra touch!
Flare Jeans
Flare jeans are like bootcut jeans, but with a flair (no pun intended) for the dramatic. These jeans have the widest leg openings out of all the jean styles you can find here at Masseys, creating a fun and unique silhouette. Pair these denim pants with your favorite pointed-toe boots and heeled clogs and wear them with jewel-tone tops to create simple yet stylish looks for fall. On the hunt for other autumn outfits?

Women’s colored jeans are a great option if you like a denim-on-denim look without having an overwhelmingly blue outfit. They’re also great for incorporating those jewel tones we mentioned earlier into your look for instant fall vibes.
Jean Jackets
Also called a denim jacket, this is easily one of the most versatile pieces in your closet. Though fashion trends come and go quickly, jean jackets have stuck around as a staple with a durable construction that’s designed to last.

Classic Blue Jean Jacket
When you think of a jean jacket, this is probably what you’re picturing. Like jeans, they come in a wide range of washes, but all of them feature blue as the main shade. You can layer a well-fitted jean jacket over graphic tees for a rock-and-roll look, or over semiformal outfits to add texture and structure. When in doubt, stick to the basics and pair your women’s jean jacket with a solid tee or tank.
Black Denim Jacket
If you’re looking for something a touch edgier and more sophisticated, black denim is just the thing for you. Black jean jackets go great with faux leather leggings or black jeans for a monochromatic look or can be a perfect companion piece to something brighter and bolder, like colored or patterned jeans. Camo is making a comeback in the fashion scene, why not wear it with your new black jacket?
Colored Jean Jacket

Since this jacket is a fashion statement all on its own, try wearing it over a neutral top. This will make the color stand out even more! Add sneakers or pumps and you’ve got an outfit perfect for tons of different occasions!
Denim Shoes
Jeans and jackets aren’t the only ways to incorporate denim into your everyday look. From boots to pumps, you can find almost any shoe style in denim!
