10 Rules for Effortless, Everyday Style

In this series, I share some simple tips for leveling up your daily looks.

While you absolutely can wear black jeans year-round (I hate to make fashion rules!), I tend to tuck mine away in the summer purely because they tend to make me feel too warm in the heat. Now that September is here, I’ve brought my favorite black skinny jeans out of storage and am styling a week’s worth of classic, effortless outfits for you.

Mine are 4 or 5 years old from Madewell, and they’ve held up so well after tons of wear over the years. I normally go for a high rise, but I bought these back when 9″ felt like a high rise and they’re super comfortable. This pair and this pair they currently sell are really similar.

All of the jewelry I’m wearing is from my shop—14K Gold Hoops14K Gold Textured Huggie HoopsJames Link Chain NecklaceChloe Coin Necklace.
