Fall’s hit list of trends have an air of richness and nostalgia. From the mod 60s to global folk and Victorian, denim is an obvious choice of bottom to incorporate into these very thematic trends. Although the looks were all very distinct, we see plenty of attention given to detail, whether it is in rich fabrications or fringe. Prints are also a strong point from Russian dolls to vintage paisleys. Knits also take the stage in lofty variations quite suitable to be worn with denim. Take a look below for more!

It’s a mod mod world out there. Stripes and shine are at the heart of this theme. Oversized sweater tunics make for perfect pairing with denim. Bring on the bling with studs on denim and lamé fabrications for tops.

All is loud this season on the Western front! Western cow-girl styles are in full reign with the vest at the core of it. Prairie looks are also incorporated here with bib dresses, check plaids and patchwork. Details of note are embroidery and fringe that are great for vests, outerwear and footwear.

The prairie styling of Spring takes an ethnic world-vision for Fall. Mixed prints and patterns and patchwork in bold bright hues compose this look on knits. Folksy vivid wallpaper patterns are also great on tunic tops and dresses. Consider fringe or pom-poms for extra attention.

This new take on bohemian involves ditsy prints, lofty knits and nostalgic coats. Rich metallic embroideries are great for detail on woven tops and coats. Lofty knit wraps and ponchos in rich hues are important to layer with.

All things Russian take to the limelight. No detail is left untouched by rich embroidery detail. Russian doll graphic images are great for tees. Fur is the ultimate accessory either as an addition to a vest or on a hat or boot. Incorporate denim to this luxe look with lamé screenprint or as an embroidered vest.

Victorian reign has taken over the runways. Another look at rich and luxe, this form of styling focuses on the empire silhouette and delicate lace fabrications. Detail shines through by way of velvet inserts, cameo buttons and ruffle detailing. Paisley prints are key for woven tops and tunic bodies. With so much happening thematically, dark denim makes the ultimate statement on bottom.
