When going out, I’m sure everyone’s go-to outfit is throwing on a pair of jeans and a simple top. It’s easy to style, universal and makes an outfit go from one to 10 in a matter of seconds. So wouldn’t styling a denim jacket be the same? While fashion trends come and go, jean jackets always seem to be a popular piece year-round.
The expectations are set pretty high in the fall season this year. Here’s how to make sure you’re not repeating old and overused fashion trends even when you're balling on a budget!
Keeping it casual, simple and put together is key. Black leggings are overused; having a nice pair of fall-colored leggings like the ones below will help spice up your outfit. Having a plain tee is a must! It can help make your outfit more cohesive, whether white or black. Of course, you can’t forget the denim jacket. Throw on a pair of sneakers and your favorite gold jewelry and you’re ready to go!

Find your favorite boyfriend shorts, plain tee and sunnies. Now you’re ready to shop till you drop in style. If you’re not seeing the pattern yet, plain tees will be your best friend this fall season.

DINNER WITH YOUR PARTNER
It’s your anniversary. Your partner planned a romantic dinner at a rooftop restaurant. If you wanna give a priceless look, what better way to do that than slaying the red-lip look with a pair of knee-high boots or heels? This is how you dress up to the nines. We’re in the midst of the romance trend, which by name alone is perfect for infusing into dinner date outfits.

FRIEND’S BIRTHDAY DINNER
It’s your friend's birthday and you need to find something that screams ‘hot’, ‘badass’ and ‘trendy’ but makes it look effortless. Taking inspo from models with their off-duty looks will help guide you in the right direction on pairing staple pieces with essential items. Trying something new might be intimidating, but it can help bring you out of your comfort zone. Denim on denim is always a safe option, but you can also implement an electric blue top and bottom with a classic jean jacket. Mm, *chef's kiss*.

GOING FOR A HOT GIRL WALK
Hot girl walks – or getting in your daily steps while looking and feeling cute – have been in for a while. You’re not only getting in a good workout but also bettering your mental health. Even though we live in Florida, a hoodie is a must during the fall season. Throw on your best fit, pop in your AirPods, turn on your favorite podcast and get walking!

You might opt for dark, light or even ivory colors underneath. Maybe your new best friend is a plain outfit with accessories like layered gold jewelry, a baseball cap or a bag. No matter your plans, there’s a way to make that classic jean jacket work in all seasons. Your favorite denim will never go out of style.
