It’s Here—The Early Autumn Shoes and Jeans Combination That Fashion Enthusiasts Will Embrace Starting in September.
I recognize that we probably have a few more heatwaves to get through before we fully transition into autumn attire, but if you're like me, you're already eager to dive into September styles and wrap yourself in knitwear at any given moment. In the meantime, we're easing into the late summer and early autumn seasons, and this week, I've discovered a stylish outfit formula that I believe will work perfectly for both. Modeled by Elsa Hosk at a seaside gathering, she showcased a three-piece ensemble that I plan to wear repeatedly as soon as September arrives.
Starting with a smart base, Elsa centered her look around a classic blue shirt. It's inherently refined but refreshingly simple, providing an elevated vibe without appearing overly dressed up. She then paired it with mid-wash straight-leg jeans, a reliable wardrobe staple. The straight-leg silhouette skimmed her legs without being constricting, adding a relaxed polish that complements the neatness of the blue shirt.
Paired with an up-and-coming shoe trend, Elsa wore Miu Miu boat shoes with her jeans and shirt. This style has been steadily gaining traction over the past few seasons and is set to truly emerge this autumn. Ideal for the drizzly days of September, the closed-toe design has been frequently seen on the runways, presenting a fresh, sophisticated alternative to the loafers that fashion enthusiasts typically gravitate toward in the fall.
For a playful, bohemian touch, she accessorized with oversized circular sunglasses and carried Chanel's Maxi Flap Bag in beige (£6610), creating a chic early autumn look that I’m sure fashion lovers will be replicating soon. Continuously inspired, read on to explore this stylish outfit formula, along with my curated selections of the best straight-leg jeans and boat shoes below.
