Fall Florals + Cozy Knits

Burgundy Cardigan | Crochet Cardigan | Red Floral Blouse | Floral Puff-Sleeve Top

Jeans | Mini Camel Tote | Tan Mules | Leopard Heels

This set is all about texture and print. The brown boucle cardigan is perfect for cozy casual days and pairs beautifully with leopard heels and a pop of red in the bag. For a slightly dressier option, the white crochet button-up adds contrast and polish, while the floral tops (both bold and subtle) bring in just the right amount of color and pattern. These outfits would be ideal for a coffee date, casual Friday, or weekend lunch with friends.

Styling Tip: Add suede accessories and neutral shoes to keep the look grounded and fall-ready.

Neutrals + Classic Prints

Ivory Floral Blouse | Camel Blazer | Striped Button-Up | Leopard Cardigan

Jeans | Mini Suede Tote | Suede Bag | Tan Mules

From soft florals to bold stripes and timeless leopard, this set leans into neutral tones with personality. The tan blazer instantly dresses-up the denim, making it a go-to for the office or a casual dinner out. I also love how the structured button-downs play with scale and pattern, especially when paired with statement accessories like suede totes or pointed-toe heels.

Styling Tip: Use the same wide leg base to explore your neutral palette, try mixing lighter layers with warm-toned accessories for added depth.

Laid Back Layers + Transitional Staples

Quilted Jacket | Striped Tee | Striped Sweater Jacket | Jaguar Button-Up + Sweater

Jeans | Suede Bag | Shopper Tote | Leopard Heels

For those in-between season days, this grouping delivers easy layering options you can throw on and go. The utility jacket and striped knits give off a stylish but casual vibe, great for running errands or travel days. The boucle cardi and leopard button-down combo adds structure while staying playful, proving you don’t need to sacrifice style for comfort.

Styling Tip: Keep a few striped layers and lightweight jackets on hand, these workhorses stretch your denim styling options throughout the year.

If you’re building a capsule wardrobe or just want to get the most out of your denim, these looks are the perfect starting point. Wide leg jeans truly work with everything from structured layers to soft statement pieces, and the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is the perfect time to grab your favorites at a discount. Whether you’re dressing up or keeping it casual, these outfits prove one thing: wide leg denim is here to stay, and it’s more versatile than ever.
