Jeans have many, many redeeming qualities. The humble wardrobe staple is probably my most worn item, after all. Especially during the transitional months of autumn and spring when the dress code is so often up in the air. Jeans and a fresh T-shirt or crisp button-down is my absolute go-to outfit, since it works with varying layers and accessories for so many different occasions. The problem is, like anything you do on repeat, after a while it can get a little—shall we say—uninspiring. So having some easy alternatives in the bank to turn to on busy mornings is never a bad thing.
After a long time spent researching autumn outfit inspiration for my own personal wardrobe, I’m here to round up the six best jeans alternatives I’ve come across that happen to work perfectly for the season ahead. From every fashion person’s latest obsession (tailored wide leg trousers) to slip skirts that are probably much comfier than your favourite denim, too—and the good news is that all of them go just as easily with your favourite T-shirt or tank top, striped knit or trench coat.
Below you’ll find my full list of autumn alternatives that should hopefully inspire you to think outside the box a little when getting dressed in the morning (like they did for me), as well as curated shopping picks for each section— including only the best items I can personally recommend.
