Top 10 Denim Trends 2021

THE WIDE-LEG JEAN: There's something about a wide-leg jean that looks so sophisticated and so laidback at the same time. Whether you pair them with earth-tone shades to lean into their '70s vibes or throw them on with a sleek turtleneck, these beauties will add a casual-chic spin to any top.

THE FLARE JEAN: Flares have been cropping up all over the place since 2021 began, and they definitely aren't going away any time soon. If you're not ready to dive headfirst into the wide-leg jean trend, this silhouette is an excellent alternative—it's just as flattering as your skinnies but a whole lot trendier.

THE STRAIGHT-LEG JEAN: Straight legs have pretty much replaced all our skinnies these days, and it's not hard to see why. From blazers to sweaters to boots, there's nothing they can't elevate.

THE CROPPED FLARE JEAN: From their Jane Birken-esque vibes to their ability to expertly show off your fall shoes, cropped flares come with so many benefits. This pair may be pricey, but the high-quality denim and perfect amount of stretch make them so worth it.

THE HIGH-RISE JEAN: It's safe to say the '90s are even more trendy now than they were in the '90s, especially when it comes to denim. Not only are high-rise jeans the ideal way to channel the old-school look, but they're also insanely flattering and work well on all body types.

THE CROPPED JEAN: While ankle-length jeans are an excellent choice for the summer months, their short silhouette also makes them perfect companions for your booties. Whether you opt for skinnies, flares, or wide legs, a cropped style can do no wrong in the fall.

THE BOOTCUT JEAN: You may think the bootcut jean has seen better days, but we're here to report that the controversial trend is back for 2021. Ease into the look with these stunners from Everlane—they're a subtler iteration of the trend, and reviewers say they make your backside look amazing.

THE CROSSOVER JEAN: Perhaps the most daring denim trend on the list, the crossover jean screams fashion girl no matter what you pair it with. However, we recommend a slouchy sweater and black booties for fall.

THE DISTRESSED JEAN: Those edgy jeans you practically begged for in middle school are back. This pair, in particular, feels like peak '90s nostalgia thanks to the ultra-high rise and straight leg.

THE BAGGY JEAN: Skinny is out, baggy is in. Whether you opt for a subtle straight leg or go with full-on dad jeans, a not-so-tight silhouette is a perfect way to make your look feel au courant for fall.
