If you’re looking to find the perfect pair of jeans this season and confused by all the denim trends, here’s the different styles you need for your summer capsule wardrobe! Last year we started seeing a huge array of new silhouettes, from skinny jeans to baggy jeans to wide-leg jeans. Depending on body types and lifestyle preferences, you’re sure to find the perfect balance of form and function!
Light Horseshoe Jeans
The modern twist for white jeans is the light wash horseshoe jeans, that’s equal parts cool girl and rich mom! Barrel jeans tend to have a polarizing effect, and many struggle finding the right fit. A fashion stylist secret is to try on many; play around with different lengths, rises and barrel curve.
The laid back look of this denim trend feels perfect for summer, replacing last summer’s capri pants in a way. I loved styling these by Saint & Sofia with a white tee, espadrilles and biege linen blazer. Make it dressier with a lace camisole and sling-back heels!
Flare Leg Jeans
The next pair to replace your straight leg jeans or even skinny jeans, are slight flare leg jeans. This cut of denim is EXTREMELY lengthening. Creating a v-shape at one end of your legs, makes your legs look a mile long! These jeans are called “Bowie Jeans” and area available in dark/black/blue wash and short, regular or tall.
These jeans nail causal looks with a fitted top, blazer or even a suede bomber. Try to look for a flare that starts mid-calf vs too high up because that is the most lengthening. The right pair of jeans will also have a high waist, and I love this cut in a darker denim. From ballet flats to kitten heels, these jeans go with all shoes!
Wide Leg Jeans
If you think baggy jeans look sloppy, this pair of wide leg jeans is perfect because it’s not too big and feels elegant and timeless. This is a pair you will wear next year just as much because they’re classic! This pair by Saint & Sofia also hugs you in all the right places.
This relaxed fit is super comfortable with the wide-leg silhouette, but feels more Kate Middleton than Gen Z babysitter. If you want to incorporate some newer trend for this year, play around with a low-rise waistband for an edgy look. You may have seen these on social media lately!
Styling tips for these 3 jeans
To add styling touching to any of these style of jeans, consider adding double denim for a very trending summer 2025 look. For more of a quiet luxury look, opt for black jeans and strappy sandals for the perfect way to look expensive yet comfy. For a modern take on rich girl errands look, you can also wear your jeans with a retro sneaker, oversized hoodie and structured bag for a laid-back look. At the end of the day, these 3 denim trends will maximize your wardrobe and enhance your personal style.
