Almost 150 years after its first ever inception, denim has shifted and morphed into countless styles loved by all ages and genders, but most of all – fashion fanatics. Originating from the humble beginnings of the workman’s uniform, today denim is anything but simple. A good pair of denim jeans are the makeup of your wardrobe, and although the shapes and cuts have changed, one thing is for sure…denim jeans are here to stay.

Denim jeans can sometimes seem a little dull to buy and style, because they’re as regular a staple in your everyday as brushing your teeth. It’s easy to forget that these everyday casual pieces are perhaps the most important parts of our wardrobe; and should never be considered the afterthought we so often perceive them to be. Denim should be invested in and most importantly, fit to make you feel good. Finding a style that suits you and the rest of your wardrobe can be difficult. We’ve all had those moments in changing rooms yanking up the third pair of jeans of the try-on, thinking we’ll never find the perfect pair. But when you do, a pair of denim jeans become the fashion soulmate you never realized you’d pined for all these years.

This season playing with denim is a bigger and better trend than ever. From bootcut to cropped and wide-leg styles, there’s something for everyone this Autumn/Winter. Here are our top favorite denim trends this season. Keep your eye out for both some staple pieces and playful affairs perfect for a wardrobe shake up.

Texture

Texture of all kind. We’re talking velvets and corduroy to a classic leather. This adds a wintery touch to a classic piece, perfect for styling with boots and jackets.

Flare/boot cut

The 70’s called – we stole their jeans. Flare and boot cut jeans have made a showstopping comeback. Flattering on all body types, this cut helps to elongate the legs and contour the body. This trend is both nostalgic, chic and fun to accessorize and experiment with.

Straight

A pair of good straight leg jeans are the fashion world’s everyday go-to. A straight leg cut is the perfect casual shape to pair with your favorite trainers but also dress up for those infinitely difficult to style ‘jeans and a nice top’ night out dress codes.

Wide leg

A wide-leg jean is the new influencer favourite. Styled with your best knits and trainers, this is a look that will seamlessly transition throughout all seasons. Influenced by the naturally effortlessly chic Scandi girl style, the wide leg is rapidly becoming the star of the season.

Crop

The cropped jean is another staple in the wardrobe of the influencer. This cut is perfect shape to show off a shoe – try styling with another huge trend of the season, the Birkenstock Clog.

White

Who said that white denim was only reserved for the Spring/Summer season? Contrasted with a warm-toned chunky knit and lace up boots, white jeans can look elegant and put-together.
