Scandi Women Know How to Make Jeans Look Cool—5 Autumn Outfits I'm Shamelessly Copying
As we start our descent into autumn, I’m excited to rediscover the joy of styling again. A new season always brings with it fresh trends, colours, textures and outfit formulas, and I for one can’t wait. Because as much as I adore the carefree approach to dressing summer brings, I love an autumn wardrobe more. And if there’s one thing I had to pinpoint love most about it, it’s wearing jeans.
I will admit I am probably a jeans hoarder and have more pairs than the average person, but they all have a purpose and create such different looks (not that my boyfriend would agree.) I find them such a versatile, core wardrobe staple and will always revert to them when I’m in a slump and don’t know what to wear. And yes, they are a year-round classic, but they really come into their own at this time of year, don't you think?
I often look to Scandi women for inspo on how to look cool and one thing I always notice they rely on in autumn, like me, is jeans. They might be considered a basic, but the Scandi set manages to make them look endlessly chic and refreshingly modern. While jeans themselves aren’t groundbreaking, it’s all in the styling: they can be elevated, sophisticated, and easily transitioned from day to night. Ecru jeans, for example, bring a crisp, fresh edge to an autumn wardrobe, proving that a white palette isn’t just for summer. A wide-leg blue style paired with a heeled ankle boot—à la Ilirida, pictured below—is another foolproof formula, seamlessly taking you from daytime wear to evening drinks.
Yes, jeans are a basic staple, but they don't have to be. Scroll on to see how Scandi girls are wearing their jeans this autumn, and get ready to save every single look.
