the FALL DENIM edit 2025
It all started with a coat.
My camo coat by Paul Smith has barely seen the closet this season — it’s been my go-to for everything. That says something cause I have easily five go-to outerwear pieces for fall
Somewhere between wearing it again and having some real fun pattern-mixing moments, I fell down the denim rabbit hole. Consider this my fall edit: five pairs that are getting real rotation.
#1. Judi Rosen Stovepipe Jeans
Also known as the Stovepipe, Judi Rosen’s cult-favorite straight leg is made entirely of organic denim sourced from Japan and Italy — and that’s what gives them their magic fit. They sculpt, they lift (yes, the butt-lifting kind of lift), and they somehow feel structured without strangling your shape. Think classic lines, extra-high rise, and a cut that makes your legs (and confidence) look a mile long.
As Vogue put it:
“They’re the stuff of peachy dreams: sculpting and lifting your bum to the heavens as only a sturdy, extra-high-rise style can... they make me feel alive.”
Vogue called them “the stuff of peachy dreams,” and they weren’t wrong.
#2. Levi’s 501 Originals
The forever classic — this time in a washed-out black that reads soft grey. I went for a 32" length (two inches longer than usual) for more shoe options — and at 5'3", it’s the perfect way to play with proportion. They tuck easily into a boot but still break cleanly with loafers or sneakers.
#3 DL1961 WHITE Cropped High-Rise
White denim in fall? Yes, absolutely….my favorite color in the fall & winter. full stop. The cropped cut keeps it modern, and with heavier knits or boots, it feels intentional — not summer leftovers. And the color? Crisp and bright against all the seasonal layers.
GAP coulottes, JCrew Crewcuts checkerboard hoodie similar here, Rachel Comey suede western boot
#4 GAP Denim Coulottes
I actually bought these for the camo coat — the cropped length just works. And boots season? These were made for it. Gap nailed the denim here: super soft, but not flimsy, and genuinely comfortable. I sized down because they were sold out in my size — lucky I did, they fit perfectly. So size down!
Ruti the-off-duty-cargo jeans, vintage cotton cardi similar here, Loeffler Randal olive green knee high boot similar here
#5 Ruti Wide Leg Denim Cargos
A camo/cargo girl at heart, I can’t get enough of these. They look structured but are surprisingly so nice & soft, and that deep dark denim feels polished without being stiff. The wide, full leg is flowy and perfect under my 3/4-length camo coat, while the pocket details give serious “I mean BUSINESS” energy.
The Thread That Ties It All Together
Each pair holds its own, but the through-line is the camo coat. It’s been the anchor — the unexpected hero that makes evenmy classic straight leg denim feel new again. Sometimes one great piece (thank you, Paul Smith 🖤) pulls the whole season into focus.
