It Girl Tara Marzuki Puts Her Spin On Fall Denim

Essential outfit formulas, unlocked.

Effortless, versatile, and perennially cool — when it comes to fall staples, denim is unmatched. Despite the onslaught of fashion trends hitting the zeitgeist year after year, a great pair of jeans never goes out of style. For Tara Marzuki, an Irish fashion expert and vlogger based in Brooklyn, autumn brings a return to some of her go-to pieces from AG. “My closet is definitely built on a foundation of ‘90s classic silhouettes — lots of simple, timeless blue jeans, clean basic tees, and sweaters,” she says.

When it comes to finding the right pair of jeans, Marzuki says that the cut is the most important thing, and prefers a true straight or wider-cut style. “I don’t follow rules too much, but I really do like choosing pieces that work for my proportions,” she says. Her AG jeans check all the boxes and allow her to happily lean into her classic fall style. “I’m a jeans and T-shirt woman at heart and I love to be comfortable, so these blue denim Clove jeans are everything I love,” she says. Leaning into the aforementioned ‘90s vibe, Marzuki pairs the relaxed, straight denim style with a white tee, black blazer, and boots.

Marzuki also leans on AG’s non-denim pieces to help elevate her autumn wardrobe, particularly the simple, clean lines of a slip skirt paired with a sleek sleeveless turtleneck in brown. Outfits like these, she says, are essential for her New York lifestyle: “I prefer versatile looks I can wear all day and into the night — outfits you can really transition by just changing a sneaker to a heeled bootie for drinks with friends!”

AG’s commitment to sustainability is another major factor for Marzuki, who comes from a fashion design background and knows the impact the industry can have on the environment. AG incorporates innovative manufacturing, such as biodegradable denim and the use of sustainable fabrics like recycled cotton, and the brand’s classic silhouettes ensure a lifetime of wear. “AG really understands the importance of timeless tailoring,” she points out. “Something that doesn't go out of style is the basis for which all sustainability should start, in my opinion — creating styles that weave a modern twist into chic classics that you won’t tire of wearing.”
