This Is The Key Denim Trend Of Autumn 2022, According To Hailey, Dua And Gigi (2024)

FAQs

What is the jean trend for 2024? ›

The timeless appeal of straight jeans suits 2024 well, considering we're still in the grip of back-to-basics minimalism and stealth wealth. They're a little more relaxed than skinny jeans but more tailored than wider styles, lending themselves to almost any occasion.

Additionally, Halet believes that baggy jeans are widely worn because people now prioritize comfort over fit. This style's popularity also lies in the fact that, according to Halet, “anybody can wear baggy jeans.”

After the great loungewear years, it's perhaps unsurprising that the women of social media and fashion week alike turned to baggy 'dad-style' and vintage 'mom-style' style jeans for SS24 (and beyond). However, we're now seeing a surprising return to a slimmer silhouette.

I think those people will be relieved – if not disinterested – to learn that tight jeans are on the crest of a culture-wide resurgence, having been an intense presence throughout the autumn/winter 2024 collections, among them Dsquared2, Miu Miu, Prada, and Louis Vuitton.

Embracing warm and earthy tones, a huge color trend for Fall/Winter 2024 was hues of brown. From rich chocolate browns to caramel tones, this color adds a cozy and sophisticated touch to your wardrobe. Standouts included Miu Miu with dark, rich browns and Chanel with more earthy, lighter browns.

The baggy v skinny fit is a debate that persists – only more so now that voluminous cargo pants have become popular again. Historically skinny jeans have been favoured by millennials, whilst Gen-Z have embraced the baggier look, but is that changing?

After the long reign of skinny and slim pants, wide leg trousers are now having their moment. Not to be confused with flared leggings or gauchos (*shiver*), wide leg pants are their own category that's on their way to becoming the default work pants.

Baggier jeans and looser-fitting pants ultimately emerged as a happy medium between the athleisure worn throughout multiple lockdowns and the constricting skinny jeans of the previous decade. The silhouettes could be sleek and comfortable without compromising one for the other.

Invented in 1873, the Levi's 501 Original Fit Jeans are perhaps the most popular denim style ever — and with good reason.

Can I still wear skinny jeans? ›

However, the consensus is that — despite those recent runway appearances — straight leg and wider styles are here to stay. But plot twist: so are skinny jeans. The point being that over the last decade or so, we've progressed into something close to a post-trend era.

The good news? 2024 is all about wearing what makes you happy. Fashion is cyclical, and everything comes back around eventually. Just because the internet says something isn't cool anymore doesn't mean you can't wear it, skinny jeans included.

Mom jeans have come a long way. The once-mocked, now-trendy style has become as beloved as the flare and the wide-leg.

One of our favorite 2024 fashion trends for spring and summer is the return of the preppy aesthetic. This one is directly tied to Miu Miu's string of hyper-popular runways, starting a few years ago with that micromini pleated skirt and culminating in this spring's Gossip Girl–esque collection.

Denim skirts are very much on trend for 2024, with fashion insiders and celebrities like Gisele Bündchen, Taylor Swift, and Anne Hathaway giving them a shot in recent months.

Neutral grey still looks fresh for Spring Summer 2025, with the addition of black and white! Classic bold colors, and earthy near-neautrals round out a sophisticated palette for spring.

Wide Leg Pants and Pleated Trousers

Surprisingly enough, these pants flatter most body types and that's why they'll still remain relevant for 2024. Skinny jeans are long gone and a more timeless silhouette makes you look more elevated and sophisticated when worn with a fitted shirt or jacket.
