DL1961 has its Pre-Fall/Fall 2026 looks out now, and it is quite relevant to the Fall 2026 denim story.

Meaning, there’s another strong piece of evidence that Fall 2026 is NOT a return to skinny jeans. DL1961’s Pre-Fall looks are actually featuring baggy, loose-straight and tailored straight silhouettes.

DL1961 Fall 2026 denim directions:
Baggy is still very much here
DL1961 specifically says its bestselling Alex Baggy returns for Pre-Fall in new washes, with a slightly lower-on-the-hips, slouchy silhouette. That’s a very direct confirmation of the continued baggy/low-slung direction for the coming seasons.
Loose straight is another major shape
The new Kaylen Loose Straight appears in the richer Savannas wash, paired with a coordinating boxy denim jacket. DL1961 describes Pre-Fall as having richer washes and refined silhouettes.
Straight jeans are getting more polished
The Cate Classic Straight is a high-rise, tailored straight leg with a vintage-rigid appearance but feels actually softer.
Darker/richer denim is important
The Fall assortment is moving away from the very pale, washed-out summer palette toward deeper indigos, dark neutrals and richer seasonal washes.
