The 5 Denim Trends to Know for Summer
Sponsor Content Created With Saks Fifth Avenue, 7 For All Mankind, PAIGE, AG, J Brand
Our favorite denim trends for summer, in no particular order? Wide-leg jeans (always high-waisted; often cropped). Crisp dark denim (especially matching separates). Oh, and white denim Bermuda shorts deserve a special mention. In other news, denim jackets get a refresh this season, feeling more polished than their oversize predecessors. And we're obviously wearing '70s-inspired denim on repeat.
Our edit of 12 summer-ready jean pieces (starring our personal go-to denim brands like AG, 7 for All Mankind, Paige, and J Brand) tick all these boxes (plus a couple of extra ones, because, honestly, it's summer: Sometimes you really just need a new pair of perfect denim cutoffs). We found this glorious denim haul all under one roof at Saks, which has conveniently curated all its summer-ready denim for you right here.
