You guys know I will spend money on a really good pair of jeans, so when I tell you that one of my favorite pairs of denim right now is from TARGET, you know they have to be good! I originally bought these barrel jeans on a whim and was honestly shocked by how much I loved them. The fit is SO good, they’re incredibly comfortable, and they look like jeans that should cost way more than they do.
I have them in two different washes and have been wearing them constantly, so I thought it would be helpful to put some of my recent outfits all in one place! The barrel leg gives them a little more shape than a basic straight-leg jean, but they’re still really easy to style with everything from flats and sneakers to sweaters and jackets. If you’ve been wanting to try the barrel jean trend without spending $200+ on a pair, these are SUCH a good place to start.
Below, I’m sharing a few different ways I’ve been wearing them lately so you can get some outfit inspiration if you’ve been wondering how to style barrel jeans this fall!

Fall time is when all the jeans make their way back to the front of my closet. This one you've just shared would make a lovely addition.

I love this outfit for fall! If I swapped ripped jeans for non-ripped ones this could be appropriate for work too.
Thanks for sharing 🙂
You love lovely! I wanted to share a book that you would LOVE. It is called "Pretty Girls" by Karen Slaughter. It is a psychological thriller. I woke up in the middle of the night. I just couldn't stop thinking about it! It is a great read!
Totally gorgeous casual look, Caitlin! That cardigan looks amazing.
