Tips + Tutorials: Fall 2021 Denim Trends

For most of you, you know how I feel about following the latest greatest trends. I always say following trends is ok but just because they say a skinny jean is out doesn’t mean to purge your entire closest and get rid of all your skinnies! Remember, when you are picking out your Fall jeans, pick something that feels good, looks good and fits your likes.  For Fall ‘21, we noticed a shift in the market leaning towards more comfortable denim, especially with people working from home more and less restrictive dress codes in the work environment. “I would say the most prominent trend is finding the perfect middle ground between comfort and style.

What you’ll see this fall season in denim picks; with a fall color palette that includes earth tones, multiple shades of green and brown, light washes, and monochromatic greys and blacks. Below are just a few tips from JoJo to keep in mind when picking out your “It” denim for the season! Don’t forget, you can always schedule an appointment with JoJo if you need her help!

The 90’s Boot-Cut is back, baby. Boot-Cut denim is the trend you’ll see the most this season! This season’s bootcut jean of 2021 features a figure-flattering high waist, as well as a smaller flare than earlier versions. This style makes it easy to wear with your favorite bootie, sneaker or heel. The only thing that looks weird with bootcut jeans are flats, especially ballet style ones. They get lost under the flare; it’s better to use a shoe with some volume and structure. A bootcut jean, like an ankle jean, can be worn with tops tucked in or left out. I wouldn’t wear a tunic with them because it may create a weird optical illusion, but otherwise bootcut are pretty easy to wear.

Some of JoJo’s favorite boot-cut picks this year are the Jaxton Boot-Cut Denim by Dear John. We love the feel of this denim. Super soft, stretch and comfortability is what makes this denim a fan favorite! We also love the price! You can find the Dear John Jaxton online or in-stores!

Straight jeans are one of the easiest styles to wear. The look is a slim straight jean that hits the waist or even higher, can be a zip or button fly. This is a lengthening style, with a higher rise and a longer leg – no exposed ankles! These should fit well (you’re not cuffing these) and are worth being tailored to the right length for your footwear and your shape. The straight jean is a great time to do denim on denim (one of JoJo’s favorite looks)! Lose the denim jacket for a denim shirt, worn buttoned and either tucked in or left out. If you leave it out, roll up the sleeves, add some shine at the neck with a cool link necklace or of course wear one of our favorite “it accessories” of the season a scarf. If you decide to do a tuck wear it with your leopard belt and pair it with a pair of flats or your favorite bootie!

Some of JoJo’s favorite straight-leg jeans for this season is the Rachel High-Rise Fab Ab Straight leg by Kut From The Kloth and the Joan High-Waist Straight Leg. You can’t go wrong with either one of these. Both are fun, versatile and can be worn with pretty much anything!

JoJo’s recommendation- DON’T get rid of your Skinny Jeans. There is no need to embrace any trend. Ever. The most stylish people in the world aren’t trendy. They wear what they want and wear it proudly. If your personal style is dark rinse ankle jeans or a pair of flare denim you go with your cool self, rock them, love them and feel confident in them because knowing your personal style is incredibly chic and fabulous. Who cares what those Gen Z think anyway! Wear them with lace-up slip-ons and cool black leather jacket. That’s an edgy look. JoJo loves a skinny with an oversized sweater and a white or cream sneaker! The great thing about skinnies is the simplicity of combination, as you can wear them with anything you want, starting from loose-fit tops to fitted blouses and tank tops. Skinnies will surely fit almost every body shape.

Some of my favorite skinnies are the slim-fit, ankle grazers and ankle skinny! JoJo’s obsessed with our High-Rise Donna Fab Ab Ankle Skinny in black from Kut From The Kloth, super obsessed with the Gisele High-Waist Ankle Skinny dark Denim by Dear John and of course the Mia High-Rise Skinny by Kut From The Kloth! You have to have at least one of these in your closet this season!
