There are a few non-negotiables when it comes to autumn outfitting – a great jacket, and great jeans, are two of them. As the crisp weather starts to settle in, it’s only natural that our attention turns towards the art of layering, which generally means an emphasis on heavier outerwear to endure the dropping temperatures. Autumn jackets arrive in many forms this season – think blazers, bombers, peacoats – as does denim, which ranges from cropped to low-rise to wide-leg – so we couldn’t help but search for some much-needed inspiration for pairing the two together.
Our investigation didn’t come up short, either. Thanks to a few celebrities who have recently stepped out in some pretty timeless combinations, dressing for the weather has never been easier. Paris Fashion Week set some minimalist-friendly ideas in motion, from Gwyneth Paltrow’s peacoat styled with dark, cropped blue jeans, to Kendall Jenner’s vintage Alaïa blazer moment, worn with the perfect straight-leg jeans. On the streets of New York, meanwhile, Dakota Johnson recently wore a faux-fur and straight-leg jean ensemble. All of these autumn-forward looks are sure to spark some styling creativity.
