Best Jeans Trends of 2024, According to Fashion Editors

One of the many magical elements of fashion is that it is cyclical. What goes around comes back around, baby! For instance, over the last few years, we’ve seen a huge resurgence in low-rise jeans—a style that gained popularity in the ’90s and early 2000s. Similarly, baggy-style jeans that were popular during the ’90s have also come back in the last five years. We’ve seen skinny jeans come and go (and maybe… come back again?), high-rise jeans have taken over, and flared styles have manifested into chic wide-leg jeans.

Below, I’ve compiled nine jeans trends I’ve been seeing everywhere this year —both on the runway and out on the street! You’ll find different cuts, shades, and styles along with some of our top picks for each trend! Oh, and while you’re browsing, you should check out our fall shoe trends! There, you’ll see some amazing footwear options to style with all of the denim goodness happening below.
