The Only Denim Trends You Should Spend Money on This Summer
Summer is meant to be in full swing at this point, however the weather has other ideas. So there's only one thing for it: it’s time to get serious about which jeans you're going to wear until the sun arrives. We already have a plethora of guides on the best sandals, swimsuits, skirts and dresses to wear for the summer but there's lots to know about which denim trends are right for this season too. Unless you plan on sticking with the basics (think plain jean jackets, skinny jeans or classic cutoffs), you might be pleased to discover there are some super fun options around right now.
So what’s worth buying when it comes to denim? If you ask me, the below five categories stand out from the pack—by a landslide. From on-the-rise trends our editors have a hunch about to established ones we know will be sticking around a while longer, just keep scrolling to see and shop them all.
Loose-Fit Jeans
One of those rare instances in which a trend is actually comfortable, so we're not asking questions here.
Denim Bermuda Shorts
I recently got into long denim shorts myself and have become pretty obsessed. My favourite way to style them is with strappy sandals and a blazer.
Pleated Jeans
Our editor Anna is a big fan of this on-the-rise trend, which tells me it has some staying power.
Tie-Dye Denim
Tie-dye's presence on the A/W 19 runways suggests that the trend is not going away any time soon—meaning it's not too late to invest.
Cargo-Style Jeans
All you need to know here is that the Attico girls are backing cargo jeans, so we're backing cargo jeans.
Up next, trust Monikh—these are the only 3 new-in buys to see this week.

Since starting as an intern back in 2013, Nicole Akhtarzad Eshaghpour has held several roles here at Who What Wear, and she is currently Editor-at-Large. It was a less expected route, seeing as she was graduating from business school at USC when this all began, but it has turned out to be the best one for her. Fast-forward to 2024, and she's moved to NYC from her hometown of Beverly Hills and spends her workdays a little differently from when she was an intern starting out. Currently, she focuses on a weekly mélange of shopping content. As far as her personal style goes, she's largely drawn to classic pieces and neutral basics but will always make an exception for something colorful, printed, or bejeweled as long as it's deemed worthy enough. After all, the only thing she loves more than a good party is dressing up for one. On weekdays, she can usually be found at home eating something delicious for dinner and trying to force her husband to watch Summer House.
