I've always been a jeans girl—I grew up in Southern California and denim has basically been glued to my legs since I could walk. Frankie B and True Religion dominated my formative years during the designer jeans boom of the early '00s, and although the brands and silhouettes have changed since then, the hold denim has on me hasn't. Up until now I've built my outfits around the assumption that the foundation will be a pair of jeans, but something's shifted in my sartorial brain and suddenly trousers are the only thing I want to wear.
I blame my recent change of heart on all of the retailers offering so many chic trouser options right now. Everywhere I look there's outfit after outfit featuring cool slouchy styles or perfectly tailored trousers—it's impossible to resist. Whether paired with chunky knits, blazers, a simple tee, or even cropped tops, trousers are having a major moment and I'm here for it. Below I'm highlighting the pairs that have convinced me to temporarily part ways with my jeans and plan to wear on repeat this season. These are the 27 best trousers for fall, in my humble opinion.
