Strong fall style is about more than setting trends or finding the perfect denim fit (although those are at the top of our list, too!). Sustainable style — crafted with a conscience — is the look we're stepping into this season. There are so many ways to pursue looks made with Mother Nature in mind, so it's time to push beyond skin-deep style.
That's why we're partnering with GAP to spotlight their new Soft Wear denim line, which is made with Washwell — a smart wash technique that saves energy and uses 20 percent less water than traditional washes. Not ready for a complete closet overhaul just yet? No worries. Ease into sustainable style with denim you can feel good about (and feel good wearing). Ahead, six good looks that are good for you and the world.
The Timeless Staple — With A Twist

Whether you're catching a local show or meeting up with friends for drinks, the denim jacket is a definite fall style essential. Go for retro-inspired with an oversized fit and smoky wash, then pair with durable Chelsea boots and a plaid mini dress that's definitely more pretty in punk than pink.
The Essential Wear-Anywhere Pant

Black skinnies are a season necessity, especially when it comes to cozy fall movie nights. Settle in with a pair that's just as comfortable on the couch as they are on that post-movie diner run. A slouchy striped top keeps the relaxed vibes going strong, while sturdy lace-up boots make bracing those fallen leaves a cinch.
The Perfect Lived-In Jean

Crisp + Polished Dark Denim

High Rise Skinnies (That Can Move)

An adventure-filled weekend calls for high-rise jeans that make it easy to make moves, whether you spend yours exploring the local pumpkin patch or sampling cider with friends. A pink jacket keeps you warm once the sun sets, and sneakers seamlessly transition from the patch to the local brewery.
The Jacket You'll Wear For Years
