Jeans may be your faithful wardrobe standby—but they don’t have to be boring. This fall, denim gets an upgrade with patterns, bright colors, and metallic finishes. Here, we show you a few fun—and Washington-appropriate—ways to style them. Time to leave plain old blue behind.
This trend instantly dresses up any denim look. Pair with a sophisticated blouse and a supple leather bag.
