Denim is always a hot topic around here — and for good reason! Many stylish outfits start with great jeans, and when the fit is right, then everything else just works perfectly. Denim is often the most important piece of an outfit, no matter the season or occasion. I get questions about fit almost daily — from which styles are trending to what is the right length to how to hem your jeans at home. I learned a lot about jeans when I worked in the denim department at Nordstrom, and enjoy getting the inside scoop from the brands themselves. So, answering your questions is really fun for me!

Today’s post is a denim fit guide with 5 outfits that’ll always look stylish. Whether you’re looking to try something new or just want to freshen up your go-to outfits, I’ve included wearable combinations you’ll actually want to repeat. One of my all time favorite brands is Frame Denim, and their new collection features features super stylish, of-the-moment pieces that will completely level up your wardrobe. Besides denim, you’ll love the pretty blouses, cool leather jackets and luxurious sweaters. Keep reading to see a little outfit inspo, as well as everything I’m recommending. Cheers!

#1 This is the Wide-leg Style Everyone Loves

Blouse | Sweater | Jeans | Gold clutch | Sandals

A wide-leg jean is the top style I recommend adding to your denim collection, and the Frame Le Slim Palazzo is a best-seller. It will give everything in your closet an update, trust me. And, you’ll also feel super stylish!

#2 The Color You’ll See Everywhere This Fall

Shades of brown are everywhere again this season, and I can’t think of a more elegant color to add to our wardrobes! Start wearing it now with white or écru denim. Then, in the fall, pair it with faded denim — and even black.

Brown Edit

Look at this sweater, this pretty silk blouse and these super cool leather pants

#3 A Classic Slim Straight Leg is a Wardrobe Staple

Straight leg jeans are super versatile, and the timeless silhouette can easily be dressed up or down. Talk about a wardrobe staple! They’re flattering on almost every body type, and also leg lengthening. Try pairing them with these kitten heels or these flats for a polished and elegant look.

Favorites

Le Sleek – A classic straight leg jean ankle length – Rise: 11″ | Inseam: 28″ | Leg Opening: 16.5″

The Ruler – A classic straight leg long length – Rise: 11.5″ | Inseam 32″ | Leg Opening: 16″

#5 Your Best Travel Outfit: Jetset Jeans

I’ve talked about the Jetset jeans for a couple of years, and have tested them out on long flights to Europe. You won’t believe how soft and stretchy they are! And, because these jeans are hardware free, you’ll be super comfy on your next trip. They come in several versions, from a long length flare style to a crop style. You can’t go wrong with either.

Frame Jetset Jean Mini Boot – Rise: 10″ | Inseam: 26.5″ | Leg opening: 18.25″

Frame Jetset Flare – Rise: 10″ | Inseam: 31.5″ | Leg opening: 21″
