Denim is a wardrobe staple that always makes you feel fresh, and if there's anyone who knows how to style it in unique ways it's Gen Z. Tweens and teens have mastered the art of putting a personal spin on their wardrobe; if something doesn't feel aligned with who they are or what they believe in, they're probably not gonna wear it. So when it comes to finding authentic ways to style their jeans, they don't miss a beat.

Thanks to the POPSUGAR x Old Navy collection, 10- to 13-year-olds have a wide range of jeans, jackets, shorts, and skirts to choose from as they stock up on closet staples. Kheris Rogers, Alizé Lee, and Jensen Gering, the ambassadors who are bringing the cool-meets-comfortable POPSUGAR x Old Navy collection to life, have been sharing tons of pics to give us all a glimpse into how they think about the world, their communities, and their fashion. If there's anyone who can show us all the various ways to rock fall denim, it's them.

Denim cutoffs are a wardrobe staple. We love how Kheris chose to wear hers with a fun graphic tee. This outfit is all about being easygoing and stylish.

Mom jeans with a hint of acid wash to them are as throwback as it can get, and it's an incredibly stylish look. Alizé rolled the cuffs of her jeans to avoid bunching and to show off her bright Chucks. That denim jacket over the shoulders is a great finishing touch.

This outfit by Jensen is such a quintessential look. His jeans are cool and distressed, with a slim leg that's super flattering. He chose to finish the look with a motivating T-shirt.

Denim skirts are fun because they can be dressed up or dressed down. Here, Kheris is wearing a black denim skirt with a cool graphic T-shirt, and she uses a fanny pack to accessorize. She could just as easily wear the skirt with a nice button-down if she wanted to dress it up later.
