Should I Throw Out My Skinny Jeans?
Nearing the fall season, transitional denim pieces are a must-have closet staple. The classic skinny and ripped boyfriend jeans are always an easy fix, but there are so many trends that are popping up for this coming season. From flared to straight leg, these styles offer a more relaxed fit, a great way to diversify your wardrobe and elevate your look, rather than opting for a traditional skinny or boyfriend style.
Gravitating more toward light colors, as ivory is becoming more popular this season, might be your move for the season. Revolve and Zara have also been releasing more baggy, wide-leg options. Denim jumpsuits are also a fun alternative, an edgier twist to a classic jean. Sometimes the baggy look can be a bit overwhelming, especially if you are on the shorter side, so a flared jean is a perfect combination, fitted with a loose or split-hem bottom.
There have been photos of celebrities such as Victoria Beckham, Hailey Bieber and Bella Hadid sporting these new trends—all wearing loose, ripped styles. Is baggy denim becoming the new gray jogger? If you are looking for some inspo or to add another pair of jeans (or two) to your closet this season, here are some of our picks.
Split-Hem Flare
This style has been everywhere lately, a new detail to the classic flare jean. Styled with sneakers or even heels, this trend is already very popular for the fall season.
Light Blue Wash Seam Detail Split Front Jeans - $35
Flared
Of course, the classic flared jean. Frame and Madewell have great styles to choose from. The black pair are more of a sophisticated, dressy look, especially due to the ankle length, while the light wash is more of a casual everyday piece.
FRAME Le Cropped Mini Boot - $220
Cali Demi-Boot Jeans - $128
Straight-Leg
This style has been creeping up in popularity, spiking this season. PISTOLA created the perfect fit of this style jean: a high waistline with a leg that’s not too tight around the thigh. The Zara pair is a more affordable option, very similar to a classic relaxed and casual boyfriend style.
PISTOLA Cassie Straight - $128
Hi-Rise Straight Leg Jeans TRF - $45.90
High-Rise Wide-Leg
This might beour favorite trend right now. This pair from Zara is perfect transition piece for fall. Paired with a tank top and flip flops, or booties and a sweater, you can wear this pair all year. The Levi’s style is similar to the Zara straight-leg above, while being just a bit more loose around the legs, offering more of an effortless look.
Zara Wide Leg Hi Rise Jeans - $49.90
Levi’s WellThread Ribcage Ankle Wide Leg Jeans - $128
Jumpsuit
Lastly, the jumpsuit. An interesting take on denim and a great transitional piece for fall. The options listed below are from Revolve and, while different, are still on-trend with the baggy and flared bottoms.
