Brocade Brigade
The Jean: Brocade Printed Jeans
Why We Love Them: Brocade is back in a big way for fall and we love how the tonal print adds interest and texture to dark denim
How to Wear Them: A bold bottom calls for a solid top to keep the focus on your jeans. Tone them down with a denim shirt or crewneck sweater and ankle booties for day, or play up the luxe-looking print with a peplum top and pointy-toed pumps after dark.

Boot Up
The Jean: Mini Boot Jeans
Why We Love Them: The ever-so-slight bootcut balances out proportions and flatters most body types
How to Wear Them: These jeans will become your weekend go-to, comfy enough for chilling at home yet refined enough for running around town. The only rule? Choose heeled boots or shoes over flats (any height will do) for the most flattering effect.

Wax On
The Jean: Waxed Jeggings
Why We Love Them: They have the wet look of a legging but the more forgiving structure (and flattering pockets) of a jean. Plus, these waxed jeggings from Joe come in some of the season’s best shades - from moody burgundy to deep navy.
How to Wear Them: Play with textures and proportions by pairing these pants with an oversized chunky knit and a pair of smoking slippers or flat ankle boots.
Waxed Jeggings, $49, Joe Fresh
Amazing Lace
The Jean: Lace-Print Jeans
Why We Love Them: These jeans are both tough and romantic with their laser-printed lace and dark indigo hue.
How to Wear Them: These jeans would look polished and pretty with a feminine blouse and patent pumps. Going out? Throw on a tank, a black bomber and ankle boots (I’ve got the new fall boots from ALDO RISE in mind...)

If I Was Your Boyfriend
The Jean: Colourful Boyfriend Jeans
Why We Love Them: Some days are skinny days, and others so not. We love the laid-back vibe of the BF for those days and are enamoured with these new colourful versions.
How to Wear Them: A slim-fitting shirt and a great printed belt will play beautifully against the BF’s loose silhouette.

Birds of a Feather
The Jean: Feather Printed Jeans
Why We Love Them: These jeans come in such a gorgeous print that you’ll be guaranteed to garner stares.
How to Wear Them: Loads of solid, neutral tops in your closet? Consider these jeans your fall wardrobe wake-up. They’ll stretch a bit so choose a size smaller than you normally would.

Top Coat
The Jean: Coated Black Skinnies
Why We Love Them: We live in our leggings but sometimes, they can feel a little too workout, and not enough ‘work it’. I think we’ve found our solution...
How to Wear Them: With confidence, darlings. Since black is so back for fall, consider rocking the hue from head to toe in different textures (think soft sweater, shiny bold ring, etc.)
Super Slim Coated Jeans, $80, Mango
Polka Time
The Jean: Spotted Crops
Why We Love Them: Polka-dots are a fun way to change it up for fall and we love the unexpected colour choices.
How to Wear Them: Crisp white shirt. Patent, pointy-toed pumps. Top-handled bag. Wear this look from a chic lunch to your business-casual office, or anytime you’ve tired of your boring old pants.
