How to Keep Denim Looking Chic This Fall

Torrid Full Length Comfort Waist Premium Legging

What's opaque and has a comfortable waistband? Torrid's Comfort Legging!

In addition to kicking sheer leggings out of the way, these are full-length with a slight tapered leg and are made of the softest cotton-blend you'll work your way into. We're talking about a 95% cotton and 5% spandex fit! No wonder they're Torrid's best-selling leggings!

Nike High-Waisted Graphic Leggings

If you don't mind a little sheer action, Nike's High-Waisted Graphic Leggings will give you what you want. They're spectacularly durable and have more stretch than ever. You'll still get that same cotton and spandex blend that makes the best plus size leggings comfortable, but these somehow maintain a lightweight feel that'll take you from an early morning parent-teacher conference to yoga in the park.

Forever21 Active Seamless Flare Leggings

We'd like to thank whoever designed seamless athleisure plus size leggings for anyone who enjoys working out in style and comfort! You'll get support that covers low-impact workouts and a stretch that moves when you do. Plus, these leggings are breathable and keep moisture locked in.

Tek Gear Ultrastretch High-Waisted Side Pocket Leggings

Need a little more security during your morning or afternoon hikes? Go for Tek Gear's Side Pocket Leggings. They're super stretchy and feature side pockets that'll keep your keys and phone in one or two places. They're also made of a moisture-wicking fabric that won't allow your sweat to completely drench you.

Ashley Stewart High Waist Faux Leather Leggings

Faux leather leggings are the easiest way to elevate your fall outfit because they don't require much effort to wear. They're still provide great stretch, but they're just a little sleeker in appearance than their cotton counterparts. You can pair them with one of the new leather jackets in your closet for a chic moto look or you can wear them with an oversized chunky kit sweater.

A New Day High-Waisted Slim Fit Faux Leather Leggings

Similar to Ashley Stewart's faux leather leggings, A New Day has a knack for knowing what styles are trending during fall. You'll still get a high-waisted effect, but you'll also experience a slimmer fit that gently hugs your body. The ankle zipper closures are also a nice touch!

Ashley Stewart Swirl Faux Leather Leggings

The weather may be cooling down, but you can still have a hot girl fall with these swirl faux leather leggings. The tawny port color is similar to the burgundy trend that's literally everywhere in right now, but the pattern gives it a unique twist that'll make you the center of attention.

Wild Fable High-Waisted Butterbliss Leggings (Navy Blue)

These plus size leggings had us at the word 'Butterbliss.' Offering a light-weight stretch, they're made to hug your body in the most cozy and flattering way. Though we're partial to the navy blue color, these leggings also come in brown, slate grey, and turquoise blue!

Torrid Full Length Signature Waist Pocket Legging

It's understood that dresses and plus size leggings that have pockets are going to make us go feral. The satisfaction of being able to stick your hands in something you're wearing continues to be unmatched and we'll also champion fashion that thinks about us in this way.

Of course Torrid couldn't be left out of the conversation. One customer they "love that these have pockets" and even asked "what more could you want out of a pair of leggings?"

Terra & Sky High Rise Leggings

These machine-washable plus size leggings are so budget-friendly we had to circle back to make sure they're worth buying. According to their 4.6 rating, we're pretty sure they are! Not only that, but they're made of the soft cotton and spandex blend that makes us weak in the knees.

Forever21 Split Hem Leggings (Grey)

Headed out for date night, but want a low-fuss outfit to wear? Better call on Forever21's Split Hem Leggings. They're not metallic, but the nice sheen on them makes them look glamorous without doing all of the work that often comes with super chic looks.

Once you're done looking cute and stylish, head home so you can slip into these SuperSoft Pocket Leggings. They're Superfit Hero's award-winning design that makes you want to start the online yoga class you've been eyeing. No judgement here because we're in the same boat!

Once your first class starts, you'll appreciate the no roll waistband you don't have to fuss with as you begin learning how to properly stretch your body and calm your nervous system.

Bloomchic Jack-o-Lantern Leggings (Pre-Order)

We love anything that reminds us of warm, gooey pumpkin pancake recipes and these look like the walking spicy dish we think you need. Don't miss out because they're estimated to ship by October 11 — which is next Friday!

Chore Jackets

American Eagle Twill Workwear Jacket

As I'm sure some of us know, barn and chore jackets are truly everywhere. I'm seeing them become a staple for so many people more and more — myself included — and this one from American Eagle is such a cute take on the trend. I love the cropped silhouette and lightweight, yet still sturdy fabric. It's a great way to tiptoe into this trend to test it out for yourself.

1.STATE Oversized Barn Jacket

Who doesn't love some autumnal browns and burnt orange shades? This jacket comes in the perfect, oversized fit — and in this nice brown color with an orange suede collar that is iconicity known as being a "chore jacket collar." I love everything about the shape, and will definitely be adding this one to my fall staples.

Cropped Trench Coats

Zara Cropped Trench

Zara is one of my favorites stores to catch up on outerwear trends at an affordable price points. They always have sizes in stock, current trending pieces, and pretty decent quality for the price-point. This cropped trench is a perfect example of that. For just under $70, you can have a piece that is all over the NY and Paris fashion weeks at the moment.

Nordstrom Cropped Stretch Trench Coat

Olive green trench coats are my complete and utter obsession lately. I just bought a long one, and now I'm slightly disappointed that I'm finding this cropped option days late because it's just so chic! This jacket a clean-cut and minimalist take on the cropped trench trend — one that I think will outlive the trend, itself, and ultimately become a timeless piece you'll wear in your closet for future seasons to come.

Leopard Print

Ann Taylor Leopard Print Moto Jacket

This fun, jacket combine two trends into one to make for the ideal fall jacket. It's a moto jacket, which is very popular this autumn season, as well as the leopard print trend that's back and better than ever. Plus, it's 50% off right now, which is a great deal since it's made out of wool — it will be much more warm and durable if you live in a colder climate.

By Anthropologie Boxy Jacket

This whole outfit from Anthropologie is the exact cool girl, laid back, grungy vibe I'm trying to go for this fall. I'm really trying to emulate that indie sleeze/tumblr aesthetic à la Alexa Chung when she dated Alex Turner, the lead singer of the Arctic Monkeys. It was peak fashion, and some of my favorite looks came out of that era. This jacket will give you just that vibe, if you're also trying to emulate it.

Red Jackets

Reformation Lucas Coat

A statement coat is an absolute essential for me in the fall and winter — and not just because it keeps you warm. I love a good statement coat because it makes an otherwise simple outfit have some flair. For example, if you were to wear a basic tee, jeans, belt, and boots, the outfit would be nothing too crazy to write home about. But if you take that simple outfits and add a red, oversized coat; now that's a look! It's such an easy outfit formula that you totally need to try.

Old Navy Oversized Red Coat

This stunning, bright red coat from Gap is currently on sale for less than $60! It's so rare these days to find a thick coat that will keep you warm for under $100, so definitely keep your eye on this one, because I have a feeling it will become a fall and winter staple for you!

Scarf Coat

Gap Scarf Coat

Scarf coats have been everywhere this season, but they actually started popping up a few years ago in the luxury space. Now that they're starting to trickle down in department stores, it's making me view these coats as a new staple that will stick around even longer. It really is such a simple, yet chic trend that also happens to be practical. Because how many times have you left your scarf at home, only to end up freezing your butt off outside? Hopefully I'm not the only one...

Quince Wool Coat

I'm obsessed with getting quality staples from Quince. I own multiple sweaters from the brand, and I genuinely wear them on a daily basis all autumn and winter long. Now, with this insanely chic outerwear addition, I might have to click the "check out" button to test their wool coat for myself. It looks so incredibly high end and luxurious — I can't help but picture all the outfits it would look so good with.

​5. Diver Down

Let’s be honest, one of the things fans were most excited to see now that JJ and Kiara are together is JJ’s protectiveness over Kiara. We’ve seen it plenty of times in the past, but things are a little different now that he’s her boyfriend, and it’s in full force when they’re attacked underwater and Kiara loses the scuba diving gear providing her oxygen.

From JJ stabbing the guy with a spear gun to him banging on the door of the ship, desperate to get back to Kiara and screaming her name, this sequence delivers. Then, of course, there’s the fact that he immediately gives her his air so she can breathe.

​4. An Undercover Date

When trying to track down the man who attacked them, JJ says their plan is to “detain, extract, investigate,” and sneak up on him as spies would. Kiara likes it, declaring they’re undercover before suggesting they act like they’re on a date – if he knows what that looks like. JJ questions her and she mentions they’ve never been on a date before, challenging him to name just one. He then tells her that they're on a date right now, grabbing her hand so they can do date things together on the pier. What does that include? Snow cones and a dare to jump into the water.

​3. “Us Against The Universe.”

Since they didn’t make their diving safety stop as Pope instructed them to, Kiara and JJ get the bends (bubbles in their blood and tissues), and the Pogues rush them to the hospital, where they have to spend 12 hours in a hyperbaric chamber. With 12 whole hours together, you can imagine where this going. But before that, since this is their first moment to reflect on what happened, JJ comments how she almost died, and says that he never should’ve let her go down there. Naturally, Kiara has a different way of looking at it, saying if she wasn’t there, the attacker would’ve gotten JJ instead.

Moral of the story? They save each other and it’s them against the universe. JJ also makes a cute call back to when he called her a Kook, and we love some good banter.

​2. The Turtle Hatch

Kiara’s pure joy at the sight of a turtle hatch on the beach is a beautiful moment for the character, who's talked about saving the turtles since season 1. However, Ruthie and Topper have other plans for this precious moment and decide to drive their truck directly at the Pogues, who are trying to safely get the turtles to the ocean. Kiara notices and goes in front of the truck, trying to tell them that there’s a hatch and to go around, but they ignore her, running over the area not once but twice.

Why this is so high on my list is because of the way JJ stands by her side as she confronts the Kooks for killing a baby turtle. He lets her take charge and say what she needs to, only getting involved when Topper puts his hand on her. JJ's taken the lead in these conversations in the past, and to see the roles reverse like this just proves why they work so well together. Plus, there’s the whole “You come near her, or any of us ever again, and I’ll come back and kill every single one of you.”

“He’s Happy.”
