Sorry to My Dresses, But These Trendy Jeans Are All I Want to Wear This December

December is here, and the urge to don sparkles is getting stronger by the day.

Inspired by the countless glitzy dresses, skirts and blouses I've spotted, I'm newly motivated to add some glimmer to my own winter wardrobe. Whilst I'm charmed by the traditional sparkles that always come back around at this time of year, I'm especially interested in approaching it in a more low-key way. Blending my love of denim with my newfound penchant for sparkle, diamante-adorned jeans are the relaxed fashion person's new favourite way of adding some glamour to their wardrobes without going too OTT.

We're not the only ones fawning over the trend—social media shopping app LTK revealed that creator posts featuring diamante jeans are up 1140% over the past week, and I know I'm influenced! Wearing well with a simple tee or crewneck knit for an elevated daily look, these embellished jeans also look elegant dressed up for the evening. Style an inky-blue pair with a pretty silk blouse or a black top for a party-ready take that still feels super wearable and looks anything but try hard.

Needless to say, the high street has responded to the demand for sparkly jeans en masse. Aligne's diamante pair sold out numerous times last year, but not to worry—they're back in a new style for winter 2024, whilst Zara, H&M and Anthropologie are just some of the other brands with versions of their own. Should you be looking to make a denim investment, there are some excellent designer pairs to take note of too. I think this trend will continue to bloom through to next year, and I can also see it outlasting the coldest season as stylish dressers continue to enjoy the joy-sparking appeal of diamante jeans with a lighter and brighter spring wardrobe.
