5 Basic Tops That Will Look Excellent With Jeans This Fall

If no-fuss is the name of your fashion game, then you probably rely heavily on outfit formulas that are simple yet still chic in nature. Often, said looks are probably comprised of jeans and some sort of cute top—easy and always works. While you may already have a few go-to shirt silhouettes that you wear during fall, we thought we’d spend some time highlighting styes we’re loving that are more or less basic because they can be mixed and matched with a range of items—including jeans.

To showcase the tops in question—everything from cardigans to next-level basic knits—we sourced inspiration imagery from various fashion people. Keep scrolling to check out a slew of A+ tops to wear with jeans this season. You’ll also find a smattering of denim cuts to shop as well sprinkled throughout in case you need to refresh that section of your closet too.
