I Found 21 Fresh Ways to Wear the Denim Trend That's Dominating—You're Welcome
The next big non–skinny jeans trend is here, and it couldn't be chicer. While skinny jeans will truly never die, nor do we want them to, we've spotted a number of emerging denim trends that are pretty much the antithesis of skinnies. We've already mentioned how flares and loose jeans are on the rise, and, well, we're adding another of these non-skinny styles to the top of our lists: high-rise wide-leg jeans.
These are full-length jeans with a trouser-like wide leg and a high rise. We know that wide-leg jeans can be intimidating if you're not used to wearing them already, which is why the high rise is crucial here. It hugs you in all the right places and creates some nice dimension for the overall silhouette. Some of the standout pairs defining the trend are Levi's High Loose Jeans, which celebs and their stylists alike are keen on, as well as the Citizens of Humanity Annina Jeans, a Who What Wear editor favourite.
To highlight this chic new denim trend, we rounded up the freshest wide-leg-jeans outfits that fashion people are wearing now and included our favourite pairs to try out.
