Denim trends change all the time. And honestly, I love it. I wear jeans more than anything else and love experimenting with different styles.
The 80s and 90s have played a huge role in the types of denim trends we’re seeing now. Hello, Mom jeans. We’re also moving away from skinny jeans in favor of a true straight leg.
The newest take on straight leg jeans is a high waist, cropped style that tapers at the ankle. Barrel jeans and balloon jeans are super flattering because they elongate the legs. While skinny jeans draw attention to your hips, barrel leg jeans even out the ratio from hip to ankle.
I love the stitching and wash on this pair, but they also come in lots of other washes and colors.
If you’re looking for a more 90s inspired style, try balloon leg jeans. These tend to be longer in length and wider through the leg, so if you have long legs, definitely give them a try (or be prepared to wear heels or platforms). I tried these on over the weekend and adored them. Be sure to go up one size.
Cropped sweaters and tops are an ideal pairing with these jeans because of the high waist. I paired my Naadam cashmere sweater (on sale for $100!) with these babies (you MUST check out the brand – read my review here).
Oh, and I got a new handbag. Teehee.
