4 Fall Items to Own If You Live in Jeans and a T-Shirt

Is there anything more effortless than a jeans-and–T-shirt
outfit? This classic combo will always be considered cool, but
as someone who literally lives in this look (I’m
from L.A., after all), it can start to feel a bit boring.
That’s why I’ve armed my wardrobe with essentials that take my look up
a notch. In the spring, that’s chic sandals, an oversize denim
jacket, and a colorful handbag. But fall requires a different array
of pieces that will elevate your jeans-and-tee look with minimal
effort—while still maximizing comfort. For 2019, there are four
key items fashion girls like myself will be using to level up my
signature outfit combo. Each one pairs perfectly with denim of all
shapes and T-shirts of all colors to make your look feel just that
much cooler.

Once
considered a “grandpa” trend, a cardigan sweater tied around
your shoulders is the ultimate fashion-girl accessory for fall
2019. I can’t scroll through Instagram without spotting this chic
styling trick at least once, and it just happens to complement
jeans and a tee perfectly. It’s simple, costs $0, and adds interest
to your outfit in seconds.

I
own this one and can vouch for how comfortable it is.

How
good is this texture?

This
color will look so chic thrown over other neutrals.

Mock croc is one of those materials that always looks
luxe—regardless of the price tag. This pop of rich texture
against even the most basic of jeans-and–T-shirt outfits
instantly elevates the look.

White
croc looks so luxe.

This
looks 10 times more expensive than it is.

The
bag that quite literally goes with everything.

It may sound simple, but slipping on a belt adds instant polish
to your outfit. It makes a “boring” jeans-and-tee look feel
thoughtful, and a neutral-hued belt goes with every color
combination you could think of.

Leave
it to Zara to create a belt this chic at this price point.

This
pairs perfectly with a white tee.

A
pop of leopard never hurt anybody.

We can’t talk about fall items without mentioning the hero piece
of every fashion girl’s wardrobe: An oversize blazer. It looks cool
thrown on top of just about anything, but it makes jeans and a
T-shirt feel particularly elevated. This is one item that will
literally never go out of style.

The
button detailing makes it feel vintage.
