The Cool Denim Trend That's Already Winning in 2018
We bet you probably have skinny jeans in your closet. After all, they’re a standby because they’re so flattering and versatile to wear. But already in 2018, fashion girls have been making a case for a rising denim trend that we’re expecting to see more and more: wide-leg jeans. Typically a more casual style, looser denim is a great weekend staple, but we’ve noticed that there are cool tailored cuts that look more elevated than your standard boyfriend jeans. Worn with a chic pair of heels and a simple tee or ankle boots and a sophisticated top, wide-leg jeans are the style to scoop up now.
A looser fit can also look tailored.
Pair yours with block heels.
Rips at the knee lend these a lived-in feel.
Style white denim with an indigo denim jacket.
Go for a monochrome outfit for a foolproof look.
Pair yours with a crop top like Sofia Richie.
A looser pair of jeans looks great with sock boots.
Try looser jeans in white.
Try the denim-on-denim approach.
A deep wash is always flattering.
Opt for a high-waisted pair to highlight your waist.
We love the relaxed vibe of boyfriend jeans.
A simple T-shirt can complete your outfit.
Perfect for any weekend.
