The barrel pant, oversized jogger and windbreaker are making the case for keeping things relaxed this fall.
There is always that awkward stretch between summer and fall when getting dressed becomes unnecessarily complicated. It is still too warm for a real coat, but suddenly your tiny summer dress does not feel quite right either. This is where Joah Brown excels.
The Los Angeles brand has mastered the kind of wardrobe that feels comfortable without looking like you gave up on getting dressed. For pre-fall, that means oversized pants, lightweight layers and fitted basics that can be mixed, matched and styled a dozen different ways.
The Barrel Pant of the Moment
The Barrel Pant is the obvious place to start.
The exaggerated silhouette makes even the simplest outfit feel more fashion-forward, but it is surprisingly easy to style. Pair it with Joah Brown’s Cross Back Cami in Charcoal while the weather is still warm for that tiny-top, big-pant proportion that always works.
You could just as easily swap in a fitted tee for daytime, add a cropped knit once September cools down or keep things monochromatic with a black tank and sneakers. The pant already brings plenty of shape, so the rest of the look can stay simple: sunglasses, a leather shoulder bag and whichever shoe fits the mood.
Sneakers keep it casual, a sleek flat makes it feel more polished and a pointed boot can take it straight into fall.
Your New Throw-On-and-Go Layer
Joah Brown’s Classic Windbreaker Jacket is exactly the kind of transitional layer that earns its place in your closet because it works with almost everything.
Throw it over the Cross Back Cami and Barrel Pant for a full Joah Brown look, wear it with bike shorts and sneakers while it is still warm, or add it to straight-leg denim and a fitted tee when you want something a little less sporty.
It also works with the brand’s oversized joggers, especially if you keep the layer underneath fitted. The relaxed silhouette gives even a very basic outfit that slightly undone, model-off-duty feeling without looking like you are actually headed to the gym.
And once fall properly arrives, there is no reason to retire it. Layer it over a long sleeve or knit, add denim and boots, or let it be the sporty contrast to something more polished underneath.
The Model Off-Duty Sweatpant
The Oversized Straight Leg Jogger might be the easiest piece of the three to wear on repeat.
They are made from Joah Brown’s custom-knit French terry, a brushed mid-weight 100% cotton fabric that gives them a little more substance than your average pair of sweats while still keeping that soft, lived-in feel. The straight-leg silhouette is oversized, with an elastic waistband, hidden drawstring and adjustable cinching at the ankle, so you can change up the shape depending on how you want to wear them.
For an everyday look, pair them with a fitted Joah Brown tee like the Classic Crew Tee, sneakers and a good bag. If you want something a little sexier, swap the tee for a fitted cami or tank. A cropped cardigan or leather jacket takes them into early fall, while a long wool coat later in the season plays perfectly against the relaxed sweatpant.
Pre-fall dressing is at its best when you do not have to overthink it. A few strong silhouettes, a fitted layer underneath and pieces you can keep remixing as the temperature changes are more than enough to make the transition into fall feel fresh.
And just like that, your pre-fall wardrobe is looking a lot more interesting.
