This week, Vogue’s Alice Newbold made a bold statement: “Boring street style is the best street style.” As I sifted through the countless images captured outside the fashion shows this season, I couldn’t help but agree. The outfits that resonated with me most were those I could easily imagine wearing for a busy Sunday errands run or a stylish dinner out.
The street style trends this year felt refreshingly normal. The unofficial uniform of Paris Fashion Week revolved around the classic combination of jeans and a shirt, often layered with a cozy crew-neck cashmere jumper. The outfits that have been making waves on Vogue’s internal channels this fashion month all feature everyday essentials, such as a grey jumper or baggy jeans, instead of eye-catching prints.
One standout example is model Mica Arganaraz’s 2024 update on the model off-duty uniform. She paired a charcoal knitted polo and straight-leg jeans with a rich burgundy leather bomber jacket and studded belt, effortlessly elevating the look.
As we transition into cooler weather, this trend serves as a helpful reminder that sometimes simplicity is the ultimate form of chic. And what better way to embrace this than with a stylish knit?
When it comes to your autumn wardrobe, investing in a few high-quality knitwear pieces is key. Whether you opt for a chunky cable-knit (like the one pictured from Cos) or a classic cardigan (&Daughter is an editor favorite), a good knit is an essential foundation for any fall outfit.
To inspire your own jeans and jumper pairings, here are six ideas that will carry you through autumn and beyond:
*
Horseshoe jeans + cable-knit:
This combination is both comfortable and stylish, perfect for a casual day out.*
Wide-leg jeans + cardigan:
This pairing offers a relaxed yet chic silhouette.*
Jumper + jeans in tonal khaki:
Opt for a monochromatic look for a sophisticated vibe.*
Draped layers + classic blue jeans:
Add a touch of drama with a draped sweater over your favorite denim.*
Knitted polo + straight-leg jeans:
This classic combination can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion.*
