With one foot into summer, we’re ready to pull out our swinging chiffon skirts and twirl like mad. Take a cue from Ashley Madekwe and add a denim shirt and nude platform heels for a slightly girly vibe, toughened up (just a tad) with a grommet belt, men’s style watch, and hard metal accessories.

Model turned fashion blogger, Natalie Suarez, shows us how to rock a mean pair of boyfriend jeans on her blog Natalie Off Duty. The fit is tailored with ease and comfort and manages to channel the classic overtones of a true tomboy. She rocks them with a nautical twist, throwing in a striped top, navy blue beanie, and khaki trench coat. To get your own slouchy pair check out RUGBY by Ralph Lauren.

Just because the warm weather has officially left us doesn’t mean you have to dress as dreary as it is outside. This outfit shows you a great way to incorporate bright colors into your winter wardrobe–think your favorite summer outfit but with some additions. By throwing on some sheer tights and a knit beanie, you’ve got the layers you need to stay comfortable, but still looking good. We love how this fashion blogger from Scotland keeps the rest of her outfit simple with her beige clutch and black ankle booties so her royal blue top is not overpowered, but allowed to really stand out.

Leather is in this season and we’re not complaining! It looks great with denim, and always creates a very polished look–but be careful because too much leather can be dangerous! Leather is one thing you do not want to overdo, as you can easily end up looking like you’re part of your town’s local biker gang. A great way to have a more toned down version of the sleek look of leather on leather is by pairing it with coated denim, just like this fashion blogger from New Zealand does. The black leather jacket and black tee go perfectly with the black coated skinny jeans. They look so sharp together, without the overwhelming effect leather on leather can have, a la Sandra Dee from Grease. We mean, yes that look IS a classic, but some things are meant to stay on the big screen (or in your Halloween pictures).

Keeping up with all the trends might seem overwhelming, but Krystal, a fashion blogger from California shows you how simple it can be.

Cords are a great option to pair with this light-wash denim workshirt, especially if you’re worried about not getting the denim-on-denim look right. To top it all off with the navy newsboy cap gives this outfit the extra touch to make it into a really casual pulled-together look. Check out below some options for you on how to get this great fall style.

As it keeps getting colder out, the days of walking out the door in just a denim workshirt are sadly coming to an end. This fashion blogger knows the secret to still being able to show off your love of denim though–layer that baby up with a leather jacket and if need be, a zippered sweatshirt too! All this layering will keep you warm but without making you cover up the casual but classic look of a denim workshirt. Pairing it all with black leggings creates the perfect balance of layers on the top and a slim silhouette on the bottom. And the greatest part about this look? You can mix and match as you please because all these items are staple pieces for your wardrobe this fall (well maybe not the leopard platform shoes, but we’d like them in our closet!).

Some guys might be weary to get in on the colored denim trend, but this fashion blogger from Poland shows all you doubters out there how well it can work! These dark teal jeans from Zara are a great option for a smooth transition away from your beloved blue jeans. The color is dark, warm, and versatile enough to be paired with a casual cotton t-shirt, knit sweater, or a jean jacket–or you can have a really put-together look like this guy does and combine all three! So guys, next time you pass by a pair of colored jeans in the store, don’t keep on walking, pick them up and make your style that much better!

One of the many reasons why we love denim so much is because it can be an everyday part of your wardrobe no matter what kind of look you are going for. Chiara Ferragni is an influential fashion blogger from Italy who shows us how a great pair of skinny jeans is the perfect thing to wear when you want comfort and style. Thanks to the faded grey wash on these jeans along with the matching knit sweater and ivory coat, there is a great neutral backdrop to be worn when you want to rock a hot & trendy accessory like this electric blue handbag. The skinny jeans also help form a nice silhouette so her shape doesn’t get lost in her loose-fitted top. So remember that when you’re unsure of what to wear to bring your outfit together, your favorite pair of skinnies is always a good option.

Similar to colored denim, coated denim can be a trend that you’re not sure how to work into your wardrobe, but don’t worry, it’s simple! This fashion blogger from Amsterdam looks fierce in her metallic silver coated jeans, leather jacket, and red lipstick. Her black bootie heels top the look off with a really badass, futuristic vibe, but if that’s not your style, you could easily skip the leather jacket and these jeans would still look great just with the white t-shirt. That’s the cool thing about coated denim–it looks great enough on its own that you don’t need anything extra to dress it up, and if you want do want to, it is more than up for the challenge!

The 70s are back in style and this fashion blogger from Spain knows it! Flared jeans are popping up everywhere these days but we really love the way this rich brown pair (they look like they might be corduroy) stands out from your classic blue wash. The color is a nice warm option for fall and is dark enough to flatter any body type. She really encompasses the relaxed and laidback look of the era by pairing the jeans with simple items like a white blouse, beaded necklace, and long shoulder bag. Some things are meant to be left in the past, but this style definitely was not!
