Blue jeans — especially here in the birthplace of blue jeans — are forever, but no time of year do they feel more right than in autumn. What do you want to be wearing while navigating a corn maze, carving a pumpkin, flirting with a cutie at an apple orchard, or walking briskly to class? Jeans, of course.
