1. A basic long sleeve

A basic long sleeve top is the easiest one to think of, in my opinion. A basic long sleeve looks great tucked into a pair of barrel jeans. Add a necklace, scarf, or vest or accessory to make it even more fun!

2. A sweater 

your sweater can be a crewneck, a v-neck, a boat neck or any type. Mine is a crewneck and it’s a little more oversized with a kind of high-low hem. It’s one of my favorites and I think it looks so cozy with barrel jeans.

3. A cardigan (unbuttoned as a layer or buttoned as a top)

A cardigan is one of my favorite layering pieces. Throw it over a tank, a tee, or a long sleeve and you’re super cozy. In the last few years I’ve also started wearing cardigans as tops, which is a great way to get more wear out of your cardigans!

4. A sweatshirt

I’m wearing a crewneck sweatshirt here, but it can be a henley sweatshirt, a 1/2 zip sweatshirt, or whichever type is your favorite. I think this is a cute and casual look paired with the barrel jeans.

5. A blouse

I don’t have a whole lot of blouses in my wardrobe, but I do like to have a few for an easy and cute top to pair with jeans. This green one has a more cropped fit, so it pairs well with the barrel jeans. If I was wearing a less cropped blouse, I would probably do a little front tuck.

Four Warm Weather Barrel Jeans Outfits (petite friendly and mom friendly)

I have been wanting these barrel jeans from Old Navy for a while and I finally grabbed them when they were recently on sale. This is the medium wash and I am wearing size 0 petite—I am 5’1” for reference.

Upon first try on, I was like no way am I keeping these! BUT then I paired them with a few different tops & realized they’re super comfy and versatile, so I’m definitely keeping them and can’t wait to wear them even more.

Here are 4 ways I’m wearing them in this transitional season while it’s still warm, but I want to dress “fall-like”.

Outfit 1: with a cute tank

this little white top is adorable and I thought the femininity of the top was a fun contrast with the masculinity of the barrel jeans.

Outfit 2: with a basic tee

I feel like the barrel jeans are the star of the outfit, so pairing them with a simple tee really makes them stand out. I added a matching suede tote bag and matching sandals to bring it all together.

Outfit 3: with a white blouse

similar to the first outfit, I’m a big fan of the juxtaposition of the feminine and masculine between the top and jeans. I added a cute little brown bag and brown birk sandals to finish up the look.

Outfit 4: with a sweater tank

This was the first outfit I tried with the jeans—the cropped sweater tank and the wider jeans go well together. I think anytime you have a bigger jean, a more cropped top always looks good. I added my orange crossbody for a fun pop of color and my comfy Birkenstock sandals.
