5 Denim Trends You’re About To See This Season


In the fickle world of fashion trends, denim usually occupies more than its fair share of space. In recent years we’ve seen options that run the gamut from way out there (a.k.a. Vetements’ butt-zipper jeans and the asymmetric Balenciaga jacket) to more toned-down, approachable pieces, like crop flares and sailor-style bottoms. For 2019, we don’t seem to have such a clear-cut trend winner as we have in previous seasons so we took to street style to investigate which trend (or trends) will have the most impact this year.

 

Ahead, we’ve broken down five of our theories to test just how on-point our prediction prowess really is. From unexpected hem details to an aughts-inspired jeans rise, we bet you’ll find something that’ll make you swap out your skinnies.

 

Raw Hems

Raw hems are not new—they’ve come and gone for what seems like ages now. However, this year, it seems like the detail is taking an adventurous leap forward from a simple detail on the bottom of your jeans to cool takes including jackets and summer shorts.
