Cuffed denim came back in a big way last year and I’ve been a huge fan ever since. I fell hard for the trend last fall and I’ve been continuing to wear my Citizens of Humanity Alya jeans over and over again now a year later.
Once I realized just how much I really liked cuffed denim, I decided to upgrade to Citizens of Humanity’s Ayla jeans, and honestly, I’ve never looked back. These jeans have quickly turned into an essential pair of denim in my wardrobe.
Here are two ways I’m wearing them as we head into fall.

Citizens of Humanity Ayla Jeans: My Favorite Pair of Wide-Leg Cuffed Jeans
Citizens of Humanity has been long known for its high-quality denim and these jeans are no exception. I absolutely love their tailored fit that accentuates my body’s natural lines and oh, ps. — they’re crazy comfortable, too. The cuffed detail feels modern in the very best way, but it serves a dual purpose in showing off those shoes!! From sleek ankle boots to casual sneakers, I’ve been pleasantly surprised by all of the cuffed denim + shoe pairings I’ve found. These jeans have quickly become my new go-to for everyday.

Outfit #1: A Lil’ Denim on Denim Action With Mesh Ballet Flats
When I first got these jeans, I knew I wanted to pair them with a denim vest for a little denim-on-denim moment. Paired with black accessories for fall, this feels just right.

Size notes: Citizens’ Ayla jeans are 100% cotton and are made from non-stretch denim. They are high-waist with a button-fly and have an inseam of 32″, a 22″ leg opening and a 12 1/2″ front rise with a 16″ back rise. They definitely run large and I recommend ordering a size down.

I’ve been so intrigued by all of the super cool mesh ballet flats I’ve been seeing, as I am still loving this trend as we head into fall and these jeans are a great way to showcase cute footwear. So, I checked out Amazon in hopes of trying the trend out for less, and stumbled on this super cute and affordable option. But, there are SO many cute mesh ballet flats to choose from at the moment (I am particularly obsessing over this Free People pair with a dainty bow across the toe) so I rounded up several of my favorite pairs out there right now.

This Madewell vest quickly became one of my favorite and most-worn tops from the moment I first got it. I love the updated fit with the v-shaped hemline. It creates a flattering and interesting silhouette. Unfortunately, it sold out pretty fast, but Madewell is usually pretty good at restocking popular items so I have faith it will come back, but until then here are some similar vests I am loving:

Outfit 2: Chunky Stripes by Mango and Adidas Sambas
You can’t go wrong with wearing stripes as we head into fall. I especially love the casual-preppy vibe that comes with wearing a chunky stripes top with my cuffed jeans and my trusty Adidas Sambas. It’s a super easy and fool-proof combo that also happens to be incredibly comfortable.

This ribbed Gabriella Stripe Elbow Sleeve Sweater by Mango is lightweight, soft and breathable. It’s also at a great price point. Mango actually has some of my favorite striped tops that I’ve seen lately, for fall and I love how affordable this brand is.

Yes, I’m still wearing my adidas Sambas loudly and proudly. adidas has so many great low-profile sneaker options to choose from but I’ve come to rely on my Sambas and I feel like they pretty much go with everything I wear. I love that I don’t have to think too hard for an all-encompassing shoe option when I have my reliable Sambas I can just throw on with almost anything.
I hope you enjoyed this post. Thanks for reading! Until next time,
