We’re officially in the thick of jeans season, and luckily for all of us, fall and winter’s biggest denim trends are just as wearable as they are chic. Even the most out-there silhouettes (say, J.Lo-worthy flares) require little effort to style well, and everything has a relaxed, retro attitude to complement the boho-tinged months ahead. Wide-leg and baggy jeans are still holding strong as the reigning silhouette—but there’s a much slimmer style that’s starting to creep up on it. One of the year’s biggest color trends is also coming for our denim, and we’re completely on board. Read on for all the intel on the fall 2025 denim trends you need to know this season, plus styling tips to get you started.

1. Slouchy silhouettes
Wide, baggy, loose jeans have been absolutely everywhere for well over a year now, and they’re going nowhere in the coming months. The look is evolving a bit going into 2026, though; mid- and low-rise cuts are overtaking their high-rise cousins, lending the season a relaxed, lived-in air. Lean into the undone energy with an oversized button-down, an oversized blazer, and low-heeled boots. Easy!

2. Brown denim
Chocolate is everywhere right now—our bags, coats, and loafers have all been swept up in the craze—so of course it’s also coming for our jeans. Even when it’s brand-new, dark brown denim looks vintage, which fits right in with fashion’s current obsession with relaxed bohemian style. Plus, the wash is available pretty much everywhere, meaning you can find it at any price point and in any cut. Throw on more earth tones like blacks, browns, and creams to bring your look together.

3. Denim on denim
Once a fashion faux pas, the Canadian tuxedo is now one of the easiest ways to signal your status as a style insider. While many wearers coordinate the washes of their tops and bottoms, it’s less about being matchy-matchy than about creating an interesting silhouette. Try a denim jacket layered over straight jeans, as in the example above, or tuck a relaxed blouse into a maxiskirt. Wear your picks with confidence, and you’ll look incredible.
4. Cigarette jeans
Tired of wider cuts? Make the jump to cigarette jeans, also known (less charmingly) as stovepipe or boyfriend jeans, which showed up on recent runways at Bally, Diesel, and Coach. Often mistaken for skinny jeans, this pick has one key difference: It flares out ever so slightly at the knee, landing at the ankle with some room to spare. That quirk allows them to tuck into tall boots or fall gracefully over ankle boots (also staging a comeback this season), making them some of the most versatile fall bottoms. Grab a trendy fur jacket and you’re set.
5. Boho flares
After a few years on the outs, flared jeans are working their way back into the zeitgeist. (I promise it’ll be better this time around.) Taking cues from the exaggerated flares of the ’70s, this modernized silhouette is a little more understated: It’s still tight through the knees and loose at the ankles, but not too dramatic for everyday wear. Avoid sneakers in favor of fall boots and heels, which tuck nicely under the extra room at the hem and provide a bit of height that (literally and sartorially) elevates the bootcuts.

6. Corduroy jeans
Okay, okay, so corduroy pants aren’t technically jeans. But! The nostalgic bottoms—which enjoyed heydays in the ’70s, ’90s, and ’10s, coinciding with boho’s big moments—are popping up left and right, both on the crowds at Fashion Month and from denim brands like Levi’s and Gap. They perform the same function as jeans, too, just with a little more personality. Use one of the picks below to add some texture to a blazer or a leather jacket; you can even double-dip trends with a chocolate-brown pair.

7. Lived-in denim
Fashion insiders are increasingly turning to pieces that could have come from a thrift store, resulting in a messy-chic look that feels now. Bearing faux-fading, frayed edges, and sometimes even rips, these jeans are made to look like they’ve lived a life—with plenty more to come. The key here is nailing high-low styling; instead of sneakers and a sweatshirt, why not loafers and a suede jacket? Dressing them up gives them new dimension, both for the office and date night.
