If you read the headline and thought that white and black jeans are "out," that's not exactly what I meant. I'm not suggesting you should abandon those timeless pant colors this spring, but there's an emerging and underrated denim color trend that's gaining serious traction, and you'll want to pay attention. Enter chestnut-brown jeans, which were recently spotted on Dakota Johnson.
While filming Verity in New York City, Johnson effortlessly styled chestnut-brown wide-leg jeans, pairing them with sturdy lug-sole boots and a cozy wool coat. The result was a casually chic ensemble that's perfect for re-creating on a crisp spring day.

While black and white jeans will always be classic, this warm, neutral hue brings a level of versatility that others simply can't match. The deep richness of chestnut brown adds a bit more brightness than black and far more character than white, making it the ideal choice to refresh your denim collection. Curious to try a pair? Keep reading to explore the best chestnut-brown jeans available.
