When it comes to winter dressing, it’s hard to distinguish an event where jeans don’t work. Unless it’s obviously a dress-to-the-nines kind of affair, denim remains one of the most versatile pieces in any wardrobe. From workwear to nights out, the variety of washes and silhouettes available means jeans can be easily dressed up or down, making them the backbone of countless outfits.
Anyone who knows me knows how much I love denim—I wear it year-round. Shopping for jeans can be tricky, but the key is finding a silhouette that suits your shape and feels comfortable, then building around those. As we step into a new season, fresh denim trends are emerging from the autumn/winter runways, and I, for one, am excited to breathe new life into my collection.
At Chloé, the boho revival continued with an array of high-waisted, mid-blue jeans featuring looser, flared fits. A high waist has always been my go-to, so I’m thrilled to see its comeback—and even more thrilled to move on from the low-rise trend. Sportmax, meanwhile, showcased oversized silhouettes that felt effortlessly cool yet perfectly wearable for everyday life. And that’s just the beginning.
Scroll on for five winter 2025 denim trends fashion people are already wearing and I’ll be copying asap.
