Since I started writing for Denimology, I faced the same question every year: Is it okay to wear white jeans after Labor Day? And my answer has always been: It’s absolutely okay to wear whatever makes you feel good. And in the past few decades, designers and fashionistas have declared whites after Labor Day are […]
Baggy Jeans – “In” Or “Out” This Fall?!
Baggy jeans are not really “out” for Fall 2026. A better way to describe the shift is that the extreme, super-slouchy baggy jean is losing its dominance, while relaxed, elongated and more controlled versions are still very much relevant. What’s really changing for Fall 2026: 1. Baggy → “baggy but cleaner”The newest silhouette sits somewhere […]
Tending This Fall: “Soft” Colored Jeans
Yes. Colored jeans are one of the emerging denim trends for Fall 2026, although the trend is more subdued and sophisticated than previous waves of colored denim. The emphasis is on deep, autumnal shades rather than bright “loud” colors. Key colors are burgundy/oxblood, chocolate brown, olive, and ecru. And let us be clear here, colored […]
Top Trend F/W 2026 – Bootcut Jeans
Bootcut jeans are one of the strongest women’s denim silhouettes for this coming Fall and Winter 2026. Rather than dramatic Y2K flares, the trend is centered on slim-through-the-knee jeans with a subtle kick flare, often called the “mini bootcut.” Designers have been driving this silhouette back onto the runway, and we see it as a […]
Denim Trends For this Coming Fall 2026
Fall 2026 isn’t about one dramatic shift—it’s about elevating denim through wash, construction, and styling. The collections we have previewed suggest that denim is becoming more sophisticated rather than more extreme. The focus has shifted from oversized proportions and heavy destruction toward quality fabrics, thoughtful construction, and versatile silhouettes that can move easily between casual […]
Get Spotted! Leopard Prints Are (Still) A Thing
Leopard-print denim remains relevant in Summer 2026, but it has evolved from a novelty into a wardrobe staple. Rather than peaking, it’s settling into the broader “modern maximalism” movement alongside animal prints, rich textures, and vintage-inspired styling. Leopard denim is definitely one of the statement jeans options for the season. But don’t go for the […]
Trending This Summer – Floral Denim
So, is floral denim really a thing this summer? Yes – but it’s a niche trend rather than a top-tier one. Floral denim isn’t a dominant trend, but it aligns with the romantic, bohemian, and handcrafted mood shaping Summer 2026. Think less “flower-power printed jeans” and more embroidered wildflowers, painted botanicals, and artisanal embellishment. Floral […]
Studded Jeans – Comeback Trend This Summer
Studded jeans are emerging as one of Summer 2026’s re-emerging denim trends. The resurgence is tied to two larger movements: The ongoing indie sleaze revival, which embraces hardware and embellishment. Combined with a “lived-in” rock-and-roll attitude. And there is also the Y2K maximalism returning in a more polished way. Rather than the heavily bedazzled skinny […]
What Exactly Are Denim Jorts?
Denim jorts are one of the strongest denim categories of Summer 2026. The biggest shift is that longer, looser silhouettes have replaced the ultra-short cutoffs that dominated previous summers. Fashion editors, runway collections, and street-style coverage all point toward knee-grazing jorts and denim bermuda shorts as the key direction. If you’re “new” to the term […]
Top Trend Summer 2026 – Wide-Leg Jeans
Wide-leg jeans remain one of the strongest denim categories for Summer 2026, but the trend has evolved. The extremely oversized “puddle jeans” of a few years ago are giving way to more refined, wearable wide-leg shapes with cleaner proportions and better tailoring. The most trending styles of wide-leg jeans this seasons are: Wide-leg carpenter jeans […]
