Instead of T-Shirts and Tanks, This Jumper Trend Makes Stove-Pipe Jeans Look Chicest

I know this pairing might have been trending 10 years ago, but I still find the combination inimitably chic. Reminding me exactly why it works so well, Jessica Alba stepped out this week styling high-rise, slim-fitting jeans with a slouchy off-the-shoulder knit, creating a chic off-duty denim outfit I’m more than ready to welcome into my autumn wardrobe.

With autumn’s breeze finally starting to creep in, I’ve been putting some extra thought into the early-season outfits I can start reaching for, and this relaxed jumper-and-denim pairing is right at the top of my list. Perfect for those in-between days, this is a jumper trend best worn before the heavier layers come out, as the off-the-shoulder finish can feel a little clunky beneath a jacket or coat. Instead, the bare-shoulder neckline gives the look a lightness that makes it just as suited to late-summer days as it is to the start of autumn.

The slimmer, straight-leg silhouette of the jeans brings structure to the outfit, meaning you can afford to opt for a knit on the slouchier side without feeling like you’re drowning in fabric. From there, take your cues from Jessica and style the look with a pair of open-toe heels, or switch to a heeled boot or preppy loafer as the temperatures begin to drop.

An enduringly chic combination I’ll no doubt keep coming back to, read on to shop the off-the-shoulder jumpers and jeans I’m recommending this season below.
