If you thought that we were done with denim for this year, you’re very wrong. We’re well into the 2024 spring season and denim is still a staple in our wardrobes.

With that said, there’s more to denim this year than usual. For example, your staple straight-leg and skinny jeans have been upgraded and now there are many more styles and shapes to consider.

If you’re a fan of denim, you’ll enjoy these different kinds of denim trends. Let’s see which denim trends you need to follow this year.

The classic 90s straight leg

The ’90s were all about straight-leg light-wash jeans. This year, this style is back and going nowhere, and what’s more, it’s trending. If you’re a minimalist you will love this denim trend.

The great thing about straight-leg jeans is that they can easily become a wardrobe staple. This classic cut, unlike skinny jeans, is more relaxed but at the same time more tailored than wider styles. This makes straight-leg jeans perfect for almost all occasions.

You can pair them casually with a denim shirt, dress them up with a fitted blazer and a white button-down, or elevate them with a tank top, gold jewelry, and sling-back heels.

Dark denim wash

If you’re not a fan of light-wash denim, you’ll be glad to know that this year dark denim washes are very popular. Dark denim washes, especially deep indigo washes look more polished, upscale, and perfect for dressier occasions.

Combining dark denim and fashion-forward silhouettes such as high-waisted, wide-legged jeans will give you that upscale look you’re hoping for.

Look for a wholesale clothing manufacturer that sells dark denim pieces and makes the most of the dark denim look this spring and summer.

Denim shorts

Another popular spring/summer trend this year is denim shorts. And when we say shorts, we mean all kinds, silhouettes, and forms. However, if you truly want to be trendy this spring, Bermuda-style shorts are what you should be wearing.

This style originated in the 1950s, but this time around baggy Bermuda denim shorts are what you should be going for.

And in case you’re still hesitant about this style, try Bermuda shorts that are clean and minimal and can be accessorized in different ways.

Cuffed jeans

Exaggerated cuff jeans are another type of jeans very popular this year. This style is characterized by thick, single-fold cuffs but it can come in a range of washes. The best thing about this style is that can be worn on numerous occasions. 

If you have a pair of too-long jeans, simply give it a single exaggerated roll and wear them however you want. You can style them with stilettos, chunky boots, ballet flats, or sandals. You can also dress them up and down just like any other pair of jeans.

The barrel-leg jeans

If you’re a fan of unusual styles, you’ll love the barrel-leg jeans. These jeans are a bit difficult to get right, but once you manage, you’ll love them.

The barrel-leg jeans, also known as horseshoe jeans, are characteristic of their curved shape that juts out from the hip and tapers in at the ankle. 

Despite its unusual look, these jeans are gaining traction and becoming very popular. Since they are such a statement piece, you can style them with button-ups, simple T-shirts, and light cardigans. To balance their considerable volume, opt for fitted pieces above the waist and avoid excessive layering or accessories. Let these jeans take center stage, as they speak for themselves. 

Denim skirts

Last year, ’90s-inspired maxi denim skirts reigned on the runways. This year, you can expect everything from knee-length to maxi skirts. When it comes to silhouettes, A-lines, pencils, asymmetric, and pleated skirts can be easily styled with button-downs, turtlenecks, cardigans, and simple t-shirts. 

You can also style your denim skirt with ballet flats, loafers, sneakers, or boots – however you choose to wear this outfit, you’re sure to look stylish and polished.

Baggy jeans

Just like straight-leg jeans are back, so are baggy, wide-leg jeans – they might even go hand in hand at this point. The only difference is that 2024 baggy jeans are even more slouchier and baggier than before.

Depending on what you like and the look you’re going for you can go extra baggy or slightly baggy. However, if you want to pack the punch, the baggier the better.

You can style these types of jeans with crop tops or oversized blazers, and pretty much any style of shoes.

Bottom line

You can’t go wrong with these top denim trends this season. Whether you’re a fan of classic straight-leg jeans, or you want to experiment with something unusual such as barrel jeans, this is the year.
