Keep scrolling to check out some of these ensembles that focus on raw-hem denim. There’s also a variety of the best raw-hem jeans to shop if you’re interested in adding a fresh pair to your denim rotation.
A pair of lighter-wash jeans is always fresh. A silhouette like this with the cropped raw hem is chic and brings an easy feel to the look.
For a simple yet elevated vibe, consider a more relaxed pair of jeans with your favorite wardrobe staples.
You just can't go wrong with black jeans for a streamlined look. A raw-hem pair like this with trend-forward basics just works flawlessly.
