ONE PAIR OF JEANS, FIVE WAYS TO WEAR THEM THIS FALL
This under $50 high-waisted, straight-leg style will be the new MVP of your wardrobe
Even if you haven't stepped foot in a classroom in years, fall will always be synonymous with back to school shopping. And at the top of every list of must-haves for the season, is a new pair of jeans. Each season brings a "it" silhouette, and while it’s fun to try out the latest trends, it’s also key to find a classic style that works with nearly everything in your wardrobe.
Enter the Old Navy High-Waisted OG Loose Jeans. They’re not quite skinny, not quite wide. They’re a relaxed, straight-leg style that’s flattering and comfortable. They can be dressed up or down depending on the vibe you’re going for. And what really makes them next-level amazing: they retail for under $50.
Here, we show you how to style them for five different fall moments, ranging from a business casual work meeting to a night out at a concert.
3PM Meeting with the Boss
These days, most workplaces are denim-friendly, and the key to wearing jeans in the office is to stick to a straight-leg style (like our Old Navy pick) and pair them with tailored pieces. Enter this navy pinstripe blazer, which looks extra polished over a crisp white button down. Add fashion-forward accessories like a silk scarf, red sling backs over sheer socks and a sleek bucket bag.

Apple Picking Upstate
It’s not autumn until your Insta feed explodes with “candid” photos of this fall favorite activity. Whether you’re enjoying a hayride around the farm or plucking the last good apple off a tree, lean into the moment with western-inspired pieces like a cozy belted cardigan, a wide-brim hat and cowboy boots. Throw on a crossbody bag so your hands can be free for more picking (and by picking, we mean taking photos).

Front Row Concert Tickets
Yes, you want to look stylish at a concert, but the most important thing is to be comfortable. Start with footwear equipped for dancing like these ankle boots, which add a few inches of height for stage visibility, but also have a contoured cushioned footbed. This lightweight, long-sleeve top can be worn unbuttoned at the bottom to show off the rise of the denim (or some skin if you’re feeling wild). Pair it with a mini shoulder bag along with a phone chain for easy recording access.

Your Friends Set You Up
The jeans and a black going-out top pairing never fails to deliver for a date night. It’s sexy without feeling try-hard. Add some flair with statement jewelry like an oversize pendant necklace and colorful rings, plus an edgy studded belt. And since there’s nothing cute about blisters, skip the heels in favor of stylish, yet walkable mesh kitten heels.

Go Sports!
Whether you’re sitting on the sidelines at your kid’s soccer game or cheering on your favorite football team in a stadium, you can’t go wrong with jeans, sneakers and a hat. Elevate the basic combo by cuffing your denim to show off kitschy socks and bold heritage footwear. Instead of a sweatshirt, try an oversize polo which also looks great draped over your shoulders. And don’t forget a stadium-friendly bag (this one comes in a ton of colors).
