Must Have Jeans

Denim has been a stylish must-have for generations, and the only thing that changes tends to be the cut of the jeans. There are few things more satisfying than pulling on a pair of jeans that fit like they were made for you — and it's such a bonus when they're on-trend.

However, denim styles come in and out of fashion — and there are five trending jeans styles that are making a really strong comeback to become the must-have jeans in your wardrobe.

Loose Straight Leg Jeans

With a straight cut from waist to ankle, the loose straight-leg jeans are made with a looser fit for extra comfort and movement. The ultimate in casual style, the loose fit adds a new dimension to the classic silhouette of the straight-cut look for a simple and minimalist finish.

Style your loose straight-leg jeans with sneakers and a simple color block tee for easygoing style, or wear these trending jeans with your favorite hooded sweater for cozy comfort.

Wide Leg Jeans and Flare Jeans

Both these jean styles have their roots firmly in the 1990s but with a modern twist. With the right accessories and some styling, wide and flare leg jeans look great and on-trend.

Wide-leg jeans have all the retro feel you're looking for, updated with a more modern fit. Cut to be fitted at the waist and widest at the hem, wide-leg jeans look cute with a cropped tee or worn with a camisole for that '90s girl-band look.

Flare jeans are a pair of must-have jeans simply because they're easy to dress up or down, depending on the occasion. These versatile jeans are flattering, fitted through the waist and hip with a wider hem to hug your curves.

High Waisted Jeans

The favorite style for many, the humble high waist is a jean trend that works for almost everyone. The high waist can be combined with a number of different cuts, from wide-leg to cropped and everything in between.

High-waisted jeans look great when paired with a long-sleeved fitted top or a cropped blouse, but they look equally good with a retro band T-shirt, too. This perennial favorite should be a feature in your denim wardrobe because of its versatility and its ability to make you feel more confident.

Vintage Modern

Good denim never goes out of fashion, and the trend for vintage doesn't mean you have to give up the benefits of modern comfort and style.

The vintage modern jeans style takes straight-leg, mom or even just distressed-look jeans and adds a modern touch in production with sustainability in mind. Comfortable to wear all day with special attention to fabric and tooling, the vintage modern collection blends old-school style and fashion seamlessly.

These iconic shapes and cuts, from the earliest straight styles worn by workers through to '80s and '90s flares and wide legs, all get brought into the 21st century with quality fabrication to match the timeless detailing.

Cropped

While the capri might be in the past in terms of fashion, cropped styles are a jean trend to focus on as the weather heats up. With lengths from just above the ankle to mid-calf, the cropped jean can have many silhouettes, and it's a go-to choice through the spring and summer.

Why not try a pair of wide-leg cropped jeans with a light-colored tee for the European culottes look? Straight-leg cropped jeans, especially in darker denim or even white, can be dressed up for coffee dates or even the office on a dress-down Friday. Pair with heels or strappy sandals, or dress down with your favorite sneakers.
