These Elegant Belts, Bags, and Flats Will Make Your Favorite Jeans Feel So Chic
I love a good outfit that's all about denim and flats. Yes, aspirational fashion is truly *a delight*, but in the real world, I'm reaching for my favorite jeans multiple times a week, and simply attempting to put together fall looks that feel polished and practical enough to take me from meetings to a cute dinner.
If denim is your happy place and (like me) you're just secretly trying to be comfortable as possible as you navigate through the world, then chic accessories are going to be your best friends. From classic designer flats from Toteme to trending under-$100 handbags from Mango, these elegant accessories are guaranteed to instantly elevate your favorite pair of jeans.
Also, this velvet is so lush.
I own (and love) this Toteme bag, and it's finally back in stock on Net-a-Porter.
Parisian brand Sézane is notorious for this structured handbag that comes in a slew of classic and on-trend colors.
This shade of brown will be as good in the warmer months as it is for fall and winter.
These under-$100 flats also come in brown—snap 'em up while they're back in stock at Nordstrom.
Bigger buckles and fatter straps give this style a completely different feel.
My favorite thing about this time of year is pairing fall-ready sandals and slingbacks with blazers and jackets.
An elasticated strap is extra comfortable if you have high arches.
These also come in a classic black leather, but it's the mock croc for me.
If you're looking for an under-$100 buy, I'm really not sure this crossbody can be beat?
