5 New Denim Trends Coming for Your Skinny Jeans
Before we dive in, just know that skinny jeans will never really be “over.” Sure, they’re polarizing in nature, but they’ve basically cemented themselves as wardrobe staples at this point. That said, there are new denim styles cruising in this season that feel a bit more forward and fresh for the season.
If you take one scroll through the ’gram right now, you’ll notice fashion girls in a range of cool styles like light-wash straight fits and boot-cut silhouettes that are giving skinnies a run for their money. To showcase further, we’re highlighting the five denim trends that matter below. You’ll also find a smattering of styling and shopping inspiration once you’re ready to give your skinny jeans a break this spring.
If you're into the slim nature of skinny jeans, try a straight-leg pair in a lighter wash instead this season. They'll give you that same effect but feel just a bit more current.
On the other end of the spectrum, fashion girls everywhere are embracing extremely baggy jeans as an ode to fashion's resurgence of all things '90s.
Add a bit of edge to your denim ensemble with an unexpected pair of utility jeans featuring pockets all over.
In the same family as the baggy jeans above, loose, cropped silhouettes are also reigning supreme among the style set as one of the most forward choices out there.
For a more dressed-up vibe, consider tailored jeans in a darker wash (something that mimics trousers) paired with polished separates for work, an event, and so on.
Next, check out the skinny-jean styling "mistakes" celebs in their 20s continue to make.
