I’ve written a few times about colored denim as a micro-trend for fall 2024, and I couldn’t wait to get my hands on this pair of mocha-colored wide legs from Veronica Beard! They run generally TTS (a size up would have been enormous; a size down would have been way too small) but I must flag that the denim is very stiff/rigid, without much give, so that may factor into your ordering, and I always find my VB jeans gap a bit in the waist, at least on me! These run long but have a raw hem, so I just cut them myself at the hem. The color is absolutely perfect. I was delighted when a 65 degree morning earlier this week gave me the opportunity to break them in for the first time. I was headed to a meeting, and felt polished and on-trend at the same time.

I also wanted to style them in two other ways to spotlight their versatility. Brown in particular feels like a neutral to me — as easy to pair with other colors (navy, red, white, black, ecru!) as regular old jeans.
VERONICA BEARD TAYLOR JEANS // AYR TEE (OLD, SIMILAR HERE; WOULD ALSO LOVE WITH THIS OR THIS) // FRANK AND EILEEN SWEATER // J. CREW FLATS // ALTUZARRA TOTE
Love the idea of pairing them with a dressier button-down and cropped denim blazer (love the dark denim wash against the brown denim jeans!), and then balance with a more casual sandal. I am personally loving all of these more cropped button-downs, as I find them easier to tuck without a ton of bulk at the waist / when tucked in!

If you’re interested in a look for less, these Pistolas (under $200) are a great fit and now come in a chocolate brown wash. They have a much stretchier material than the VBs, too — take your true size!

This post feels like kismet! Yesterday I was attempting to find a couple extra late-season beach towels at Home Goods / TJMaxx, and spotted a pair of my-size RE/DONE chocolate brown jeans in the Loose Crop fit (which works so well for me — I have a faded blue pair!), for a song! I was so excited because I remember seeing them at Saks back in the spring when I was looking for my rehearsal dinner dress 🙂 I’m so excited to style them this fall and I think it’ll be a nice switch-up for my regular blue denim!
