1. 90’s RELAXED DENIM

The 90’s relaxed denim is the ultimate throwback style for fall. With a high-rise fit, straight leg, and busted knees, these jeans give effortless 90’s nostalgia. I sized up for a looser fit, but staying true to size gives the most flattering look. At 5’4”, I grabbed the tall length and trimmed the hem, with the raw finish, it kept that vintage vibe. Perfect with sneakers or boots, 90’s relaxed jeans are a must-have this season.

How to Style 90’s Relaxed Jeans: Casual to Elevated Outfits

I’m obsessed with the Abercrombie 90’s relaxed jeans, high-rise with a straight, relaxed leg and busted knees that give all the nostalgic 90’s vibes. I’m wearing the Curve Love fit sized up for a roomier feel, though my true size would’ve been perfect. I’m 5’4” and had to order the tall length, which I shortened myself while keeping the raw hem intact for that perfect 90’s look. In this post, I’m sharing two ways to style 90’s relaxed jeans, one casual and one elevated, perfect for running errands, meeting friends, or a night out.

The Best Cargo Pants for Every Season: Fall & Summer Edition

Cargo jeans are having such a moment, and my go-to pair from Zara has been on repeat. I’m wearing a size 36 and had them tailored to fit. They come in three colors: black, taupe brown, and green, making them easy to style with different outfits all year round. What I love most is how versatile these cargos are, you can wear them for both summer and fall without missing a beat. In this post, I’m sharing two easy looks featuring these denim cargos that transition seamlessly between warm and cool weather.

For the first look, I styled my Zara taupe brown denim cargo jeans with a sleeveless cropped denim vest. The vest actually comes in 15 color options, but I went with the green for a fun pop of color. To finish the outfit, I added my Gucci belt bag, which pulls everything together and keeps the look casual yet chic. This combo works perfectly for both summer and fall with just a swap of shoes or layers.
