Jeans and Sweaters: How to Pair Fall's Faves
Sweater weather gets most of the credit this time of year, but what you pair with your favorite sweaters brings the season to life. Maybe it’s the addition of a cozy layer and jeans that makes getting dressed feel a little cozier and a lot more fun. Here's how to match this fall's sweater styles with denim that flatters your curves.
Balance a Relaxed Knit with a Slimmer Leg
There’s something wonderfully luxurious about disappearing into a soft, chunky sweater. But when your top brings all that volume, a slimmer jean creates the balance your outfit needs. Try an oversized cable knit or softly draped sweater with a straight or slim pair of womens comfortable jeans. The cleaner line through the leg keeps the look from feeling overwhelming while still letting the sweater have its moment.
Let Your Hem Stand Out
Fall is all about texture, and there’s no reason that has to stop at your sweater. A chunky ribbed or cable-knit top looks great with denim that has a little detail of its own. Think about wearing frayed hem jeans with ankle length inseams or a slightly cropped silhouette that lets your shoes peek through. The shorter length also gives your outfit a lighter finish, especially when you're pairing your jeans with ankle boots, loafers, or a favorite pair of sneakers.
Give a Cardigan Layer Some Spac
A cardigan is one of fall’s hardest-working pieces. Button it up with a simple tank underneath, leave it open over a tee, or layer it over a silky blouse when you want something a little more sophisticated. Because there’s already so much movement through the top half of the outfit, pair it with denim that complements it, such as jeggings or skinny jeans, or go the opposite direction with a flattering wide leg silhouette.
Make Your Statement Sweater Do the Talking
Sometimes the sweater is the outfit. Maybe it’s a rich autumnal shade, a beautiful pattern, or a knit with enough personality that it’s the first thing people notice. A classic blue wash and straight leg silhouette create a timeless backdrop that lets a statement sweater shine. Add simple boots and understated accessories, and you’re ready.
