Meet the comfy denim trend that will ease you into fall weather

Denim is my ride-or-die in the fall and winter, but right now, it’s a tad too warm for my cool-weather uniform. But the universe winked at me when I stumbled on this must-have for that time after summer has ended but fall temps haven’t yet set in: drawstring jeans. Think of them as the perfect mash-up — all the relaxed ease of loungewear, wrapped in the cool, casual polish of denim. They’re a jeanius solution for these still-warm weeks when you still want to look put together but can’t deal with stiff waistbands and heavy fabrics.

Roomy, adjustable, and effortlessly chic, they’re basically the grown-up (and way more stylish) glow-up of those early-2000s pajama jeans. With forgiving drawstrings, relaxed silhouettes, and lightweight washes, they’re flattering without trying too hard.

Ready to loosen up your denim game before the leaves start turning? I rounded up seven pairs that will instantly upgrade your wardrobe as we saunter into fall. Trust me, once you try them, you’ll wonder how you survived August without them. Happy shopping!

The classic wash of these bottoms will go with practically everything, but if it’s not your thing, there are 12 other washes to choose from, including orange, pink and yellow.
