These Jeans Literally Go With Everything—Here's Proof

All the Ways to Wear is a monthly series where we round up the personal twists the Who What Wear team is putting on one particular item, style, or trend. Whether it’s the trending denim of the moment or the season’s It print, we hope to inspire your daily outfits and up the cost per wear on some of our favorite items.

As Who What Wear's Associate Director of Fashion News, Erin Fitzpatrick, would say: "Trends come and go, but straight-leg jeans are forever." Actually, ask any Who What Wear editor and they'll tell you that this versatile, goes-with-everything jean style is a staple in every closet. Dress them up, dress them down; add flats, heels, or boots—no matter how you style these jeans, you can't go wrong.

To prove it, I tasked three editors with styling PAIGE's Sawyer Straight Jean for fall. PAIGE is known for its excellent denim selection, and this pair is no exception. These vintage-inspired high-rise straight-leg jeans are everything you could ask for in a pair of pants. This specific wash gives them a cool, lived-in vibe that makes them look like they could have come from a family member's closet in the '90s. Ready to see them on? We've got you.

"These are the perfect everyday jeans. They have just a slight hint of bagginess while remaining sleek and polished, so I can easily wear them to work or to run errands on the weekend. I'm 5'10" and they're the perfect length to wear with ankle boots for fall. I'm all about fuss-free style, so this easy outfit feels so me. Since I live in Los Angeles, where our 'fall' consists of 80-degree weather, I'll probably pack this [Merav Coat] for my next trip to New York in the fall or even for a ski trip to the mountains this winter. Is it weird that I'm jealous of people who get to wear coats all the time? The turtleneck [on the Blanche top] is particularly comfy and quite thin, which makes it ideal for layering during this time of year." — Erin Fitzpatrick, associate director, fashion news

"PAIGE is a go-to destination for great denim because of [the brand's] attention to quality, fit, and timeless style. I have a handful [of PAIGE jeans] in my wardrobe and I always reach for them because of their versatility and comfort. The Sawyer jeans are my new favorites for fall. They perfectly encapsulate that cool French girl look and the fit is so flattering—it's the perfect high-rise straight-leg silhouette. I'm very much into the boho-chic styles that are trending for fall, and [the Napoli Blouse's] pretty, ruffled neckline and statement sleeves perfectly capture the vibe. I absolutely love the autumnal print and [that] the necktie can be worn in a bow or [left] undone for an effortless look. I paired it with some chic pointed-toe flats to add some polish to the outfit." — Judith Jones, senior market editor

"Maybe it's because I'm 30, or maybe it's because there's so much talk on the internet about capsule wardrobes, but I'm really leaning into timeless staples this fall. Denim will always be a part of my outfits no matter what season we're in, but lately, I've been loving medium-wash straight-leg jeans… preferably high-rise ones like the Sawyer jeans from PAIGE. This cut works with just about any footwear, including these statement ballet flats. I love the rigid, vintage-inspired fit and fabric of this pair. PS, oxblood is going to be a huge color trend this fall. A pleated black top and cropped leather jacket complete this casual yet polished look. This one will take me from day to night seamlessly, although I am a sucker for a quick change into heels." — Michaela Bushkin, fashion director
