Fall is right around the corner, and we’re celebrating by diving into the biggest jean trends to wear as the weather changes. Although jeans are a timeless wardrobe staple, denim trends ebb and flow—and a new season offers a perfect excuse to switch things up. We’re taking cues from style icons like Bella Hadid and Olivia Rodrigo as we look for ways to refresh our own wardrobes.
Given Gen Z’s love for nostalgia, ‘90s-inspired low-rise jeans will continue to trend this season, as will wide-leg jeans. Cuffed jeans have also been popping up everywhere and serve as a way to elevate jeans in a chic and refined way. Meanwhile, the Cowboy Core trend means that slightly flared, dark-wash jeans are being seen on It Girls everywhere. For fans of a more classic jean, the straight-leg is a timeless fit and it’s constantly gaining popularity.
Finding the perfect jeans can be difficult to do. Amidst all of the new trends popping up, you still want to prioritize feeling your best. While various styles of denim fit us differently, there’s no right or wrong way when it comes to picking out a pair—always go with what works for you. No matter which silhouette you fancy the most, a good pair of jeans is an important part of your daily rotation.
Investing in a variety of jeans will help you fine-tune your closet and allow you to try on different trends for size. Because although trends come and go, jeans will always go with everything.
