Yes, barrel jeans are here to stay! Plus more 2024 jean trends to know

Must read

One of the many magical elements of fashion is that it is cyclical. What goes around comes back around, baby! For instance, over the last few years, we’ve seen a huge resurgence in low-rise jeans –a style that gained popularity in the early 2000s. Similarly, the mom jeans that were popular during the ’90s have also come back in the last five years. We’ve seen skinny jeans come and go (and maybe… come back again?), straight leg jeans have taken over and ’70s flared styles have manifested into chic wide-leg jeans.

Below, we’ve compiled nine jeans trends I’ve been seeing everywhere this year —both on the autumn winter runways and out on the street. You’ll find different cuts, shades and styles from all our fave denim brands, along with some of our top picks that cater to plus sizes and ensure you look your best. Did someone say bum lift jeans?

Oh, and while you’re browsing, you should check out our autumn shoe trends, bag trends and jewellery trends to stlye with all of the denim goodness happening below.

Wide-leg jeans, the antithesis to the skinny jean, are super popular. Whether you opt for a loose, cropped silhouette or grungy, baggy styles, wide-leg jeans are a great way to give a ‘fit more volume and interest.

This silhouette is great for adding a little flare (pun intended) to your look, while still offering a close fit through the thighs. In the words of Hannah Montana, it gives you the best of both worlds.

White or off-white jeans aren’t just for the summertime. The colourway can be worn all year round with the right styling, okay? Head-to-toe winter white is très chic, IMO.
