Fall Trends: Denim - Style Cusp

I am SO into all the trends we’re seeing with fall denim – I’m honestly happy to say goodbye to skinny jeans (haven’t worn them much the last two years) and embrace the straight leg dcenim. Before you write all non skinny denim off, hear me out: you have to find the right pair and size that works for your body type. I have tried on about 67 pairs of denim, in a wide range of sizes, lengths, styles and more. For example, the Abercrombie 90s ultra high rise vs high rise mom jean fit COMPLETELY different. I need a short in the first style and can get away with a regular length in the second.

*and if you’re still into skinny jeans, don’t worry, I included those in here too for ya! I have several Abercrombie skinny jeans and mostly wear them with knee high boots or my Marc Fisher lug sole boots.

Denim has always been a process for me – I didn’t own a pair of jeans til I was 14 because I hated stiff + tight things on my legs. Even when I bought jeans, I got a size 10 (and I was probably actually a size 0 at the time HA). To say the least, my denim wardrobe has come a long way and I’ve found what works for me.

What works? I order multiple sizes and lengths in the styles that I’m attracted to and then go by how they fit + if I like them. I don’t have the same size in any jean in my drawer simply because the cut/style is so different per pair and I want them to visually look a certain way. I’m not so worried about the size of the jean, and more pay attention to the way they feel and look.

Alright, all that being said.. I’ve landed on Abercrombie jeans as my go to for the last 4 years and they just keep getting better. All my jeans for fall are from Abercrombie, and I’m rounding up my favorite styles below! I’m wearing these few styles in several washes below styled with a bunch of outfits too so you can see how to wear them!

My favorites:

High Rise Mom Jeans
90s Straight Ultra High Rise
Ankle Straight Ultra High Rise

High Rise Mom Jeans

my favorite Abecrombie denim style, the perfect rise, Not too stiff and not too stretchy, I wear a 28 short

Shop Mom Jeans

90s Straight Ultra High Rise

Super high rise, not much give/stretch. I’m wearing a size 28 short.
*if you want more room in the butt/thighs area then get the ‘curve love’ style, instead of going up a full size.
