The Denim Edit: The Jeans We’re Wearing Into Fall

There’s something about the first hint of fall that makes us ready to live in denim again. As summer days slowly give way to cooler mornings and crisp Colorado evenings, a great pair of jeans becomes the easiest piece in your closet.

This season, denim is all about relaxed silhouettes, flattering fits and styles that feel just as good as they look. From wide-leg and straight-leg jeans to updated bootcuts and everyday favorites, these are the denim styles we’re wearing into fall at Ruby Jane & Valleygirl Boutique.

Wide-Leg Denim Is Here to Stay

If you haven’t jumped on the wide-leg trend yet, fall is the perfect time. Wide-leg jeans give an outfit an instantly updated feel while still being incredibly easy to wear.

Pair them with a fitted tee or tank while the weather is warm, then add a cropped sweater or lightweight jacket as temperatures drop. For shoes, sneakers keep things casual, while boots or a little heel can dress them up.

Style tip: With a fuller leg, try a tucked, fitted or slightly cropped top to balance the silhouette.

Straight-Leg: The Everyday Favorite

Straight-leg denim is one of those styles that works with practically everything. It feels more relaxed than a skinny jean but isn't quite as dramatic as a wide leg, making it an easy choice for everyday wear.

Wear yours now with a graphic tee, blouse or lightweight button-down, then transition into fall with sweaters, jackets and boots.

It's the kind of denim you'll reach for whether you're heading to work, grabbing lunch with friends or spending a weekend in the mountains.

The Bootcut Comeback

Bootcut and subtle flare jeans are back in a big way, and we’re here for it.

This flattering silhouette creates a long, balanced look and works especially well with boots, making it a natural choice for Colorado fall style. Add a blouse and belt for an elevated look or keep it casual with a cozy sweater.

And if you love a little western influence in your wardrobe, this is the denim trend to watch.

Relaxed Denim for Easy Fall Days

Fall style doesn't have to mean dressing up. Relaxed and slightly slouchier denim continues to be a favorite for those days when comfort is the priority.

Pair relaxed jeans with sneakers, a simple tee and an oversized cardigan for an effortless weekend look. As the season gets cooler, layer on a jacket or cozy knit and you're ready to go.

Don't Be Afraid of Different Washes

Classic blue denim will always have a place in our closets, but fall is a great time to experiment with washes.

Dark denim creates a polished look that can easily go from daytime to dinner, while faded and vintage-inspired washes keep things casual. Black and charcoal denim are also easy alternatives when you want something that feels a little dressier than your everyday blues.

Find the Fit That Works for You

Trends are fun, but the best jeans are always the ones you feel great wearing.

At Ruby Jane & Valleygirl Boutique, you'll find denim from brands including Kut from the Kloth, Vervet by Flying Monkey, Tribal and Dear John, with different rises, washes and silhouettes to help you find your new favorite pair.

Whether you're looking for a relaxed wide leg, a classic straight fit or the return of a flattering bootcut, there’s plenty of denim to take you from the last days of summer straight into fall.
