Fall's Top 5 Denim Styles

Yves Saint Laurent didn't say, "I wish I had invented blue jeans," for nothing. Denim is versatile and it works with everything; it's the staple of all staples. There's nothing more classic than a pair of jeans.
Let's talk about options because there are a plethora to choose from. Denim is stylish more so now than ever, with so many different types. In my opinion, there a five trends to focus your attention on for a fall wardrobe refresh.

1. High-Waisted - These are the jeans that are new to everyone. This pair adds a certain polish and put together-ness to a look. Oh, and it truly does make you look two inches taller. Who doesn't love that? Definitely opt for a fitted pair. A flare-style is the go-to high-waisted pair of jeans for fall.
2. Classic Skinny - You own a pair, or if you're me, you own six. Skinny jeans are perfect for daytime, nights out and whenever else. Tis the season for flannels and cozy sweaters, so therefore skinny jeans are the perfect fall piece.
3. Denim Shirt - They get better with every wash. I would compare it to my favorite white t-shirt; they're great, everlasting and super versatile. A denim shirt is a neutral, and luckily, denim-on-denim is in this fall, so it can even go with your favorite pair of jeans. Don't be afraid of the trend, at first I was nauseated by it, but now I'm an advocate. The options with denim shirts are endless. Wear them with pencil skirts, black pants, leather pants - seriously, anything.
4. Novelty - Your collection of jeans shouldn't be entirely blue. It's fun (and essential) to mix it up sometimes! Colors such as oxblood, olive and grey work well for fall, especially when you need to look a little bit dressier than the usual blue denim.
5. Denim Skirt - Guess who's back! It's definitely a tough trend to get behind because frankly, this comeback was not expected. But, various editors were seen sporting the trend during NYFW and it's Olivia Palermo-approved. So, it's OK.

This all sounds pretty good to me. I've been experimenting with my style when it comes to denim, and I've loved the results. Make sure to play around with your shoes, accessories and outerwear, too. It makes it fun, and who knows, you might find a look you can't go on without. The denim trend is here to stay through fall and winter, so hop on the bandwagon now so you can enjoy it through these seasons. This is your excuse to buy all of the jeans in the world. xx, ZM PHOTO COURTESY OF PINTEREST
