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.
Ribbed Knit
Ribbed anything is the way to go for fall—simple yet forward. A ribbed knit with a pair of loose jeans is where it's at.
Oversized Shirt
A white shirt is inherently classic, but it's those especially loose styles that continue to reign supreme.
Chambray Shirt/Lightweight Denim Jacket
Embrace the denim-on-denim vibe with a chambray shirt or a lightweight denim jacket buttoned up for a modern pairing.
Cardigan
You can't go wrong with a cardigan—either shrunken or slouchy—teamed with jeans. Comfortable and of-the-moment.
Loose Sweatshirt
Keep cozy by mixing in an oversized sweatshirt with straight or wide-leg jeans.
