It's almost that time of year when I can wear jeans and not feel uncomfortably warm, and I can't wait. All summer long, I have been in dresses, skirts, and shorts, which—don't get me wrong—I love, but I have been itching to throw on a great pair of jeans and a chic top. As we enter the last month of summer, I have been getting more and more excited about the days ahead when I can go back to living in my jeans.
When I'm shopping for a classic denim-and-top look, Zara, Revolve, and Reformation are high on my list of go-to places for those exact items. All three of these retailers offer jeans that look great, feel great, and can be styled with virtually anything. Zara has always been my number one choice for a range of pieces, and I could spend hours on Revolve's site looking for every type of top, from a cozy sweater to wear this fall to a sweet little crop top I can wear till the end of summer. Of course, Reformation is known for how sleek its silhouettes are and for being a retailer that values sustainability, so I trust it for both great denim and tops that I know I'll adore.
I rounded up 29 jeans and tops from these three retailers that I'm eyeing. Keep scrolling to see which ones made the cut.
