How To Style Anthropologie Denim, From Flare To Wide-Leg Jeans, For Fall

This time around, I’m putting the retailer’s indie-inspired Mother Denim autumnal pieces to the test. The LA-based lifestyle brand creates bottoms, tops, accessories, and more inspired by memories of growing up in California in the ‘70s. Tapping into the sartorial experimentation and whimsy of that era, I styled four pairs of Mother Denim jeans for different occasions, from casual seasonal activities to professional commitments.

In general, wide-leg is my favorite pant silhouette, because I find it suits my hourglass figure. So, I of course had to try a couple of pairs in that shape. However, I also stepped into new territory, trying flares (for the first time), since they’re a Mother Denim signature. While I was very skeptical about wearing the stretchy-yet-snug, curve-hugging jeans, I was quite surprised by how I felt in them in the end.

Read on to see how I’m styling Mother Denim wide-leg and flare jeans for the fall (and beyond), and how you can achieve the looks yourselves.

How To Style Wide-Leg Jeans For Fall Activities

To accentuate the cuffed hemline, I opted for a statement fall sneaker. I also worked off of the relaxed fit by pairing the jeans with an oversized puffy windbreaker. While I accessorized with my trusty sunglasses, you could also add one of Mother Denim’s trucker hats. (And, as you’ll see throughout all my looks, I prefer styling jeans with the TikTok-viral “sandwich method,” which means having the bottoms in between a top and pair of shoes that match each other.)

How To Style Flare Jeans For Casual Dates

For casual fall dates (with your partner or your besties), style these light-wash jeans with a skin-baring top (this one feels like suede, which is on-trend) and comfortable shoes (I slipped into a pair of trendy slingback ballet flats). And don’t forget to also accessorize with a crossbody bag, sunglasses, everyday jewelry, and a belt. (I picked a thin plaid style.) 

How To Style Flare Jeans For Work

These comfortable and flattering frayed jeans may be my favorite Mother Denim style of the bunch, so I was really excited to style them. From a red-brown blazer and leather work bag to a Brat green high-neck top and suede pointed booties, I picked vintage-inspired fabrics, color palettes, and styles that complimented the denim and felt modern when combined all together. If you also plan on wearing denim to the office this fall, make sure to pair your dark-wash flare jeans with high-quality investment pieces that will elevate your look and have you feeling chic and confident.
