While fashion trends change with the seasons, you can always count on denim to show up. Throughout the years, this utilitarian-turned-trendy material has been remixed and reimagined into countless silhouettes and staples. The SS24 and FW24 runways were rife with denim in enough easy, breezy, and heavyweight styles to last all year long.
Fans of classic blue jeans will likely draw inspiration from the Coach and Retrofête Fall/Winter 2024 runways. The controversial low-rise jean trend was tempered with baggy and straight-leg silhouettes. As a fashionista, denim is a must-have. You can never go wrong with denim. Besides being trendy, many love it for its practical qualities. Here are ways to style your denim.
Layered Textured
Sometimes, the formula for a show-stopping statement look can be as simple as adding texture to tried-and-true denim. From all-over lacing to sheer panels, this multidimensional denim trend offers endless possibilities. For even more visual impact, grab a matching set.
Fringe Denim
Ripped jeans, but make them fashionable. This year’s take on the distressed denim trend is less about showing skin and more about volume. We’ve been captivated by featherlight fringe since we saw the frothy texture walk the Lapointe Fall/Winter 2024 runway, and we love that you can tone this trend up or down for impact.

Wild West Silhouettes
As this year’s western-inspired denim trend proves, you don’t have to be a rancher to wear chaps. Jeans with leather panels like those spotted on the Stella McCartney runway during Paris Fashion Week are the boldest take on this trend, but you can deliver the same vibe with a two-tone all-denim approach.
Denim Corsets
While undeniably fresh and fashion-forward, denim corsets are pretty practical from a craftsmanship perspective. While other corset-style tops can be flimsy, the structure of non-stretch jean material is sturdy, so you’ll be well and truly cinched. A cropped denim corset with baggy jeans is a casual fit perfection.
Multi-Wash Patchwork
This trend is especially well-suited for girlies who love a wide-leg jeans outfit. The more oversized and baggier the jeans, the more space you’ve got to show off a patchwork denim effect. If you live in your skinny jeans and accept no substitutions, we recommend trying an oversized patchwork jean jacket.
Denim Blazers
Denim blazers are business casual with an emphasis on the casual. Even so, the silhouette of this trending material staple pulls focus, making its blazer an excellent choice for upscale occasions.
The versatility of denim blazers comes to the fore when it fits just about any color palette of fashion. Be it its color or when coupled with other colors, jean jackets remain an eye-grabbing style statement in the 21st century.
Comfy Cargos
Cargo jeans are one of the year’s top denim trends. If baggy cargo isn’t your thing, you can still create a cargo-esque vibe by wearing more fitted jeans with oversized pockets on the legs. This style is most associated with the trends of yesteryear when jeans hung low and tops were blink-and-you’ll-miss-them levels of barely there.
Popularized by all manner of famous faces in the public eye in the 00s, the jean cargo pant was the mainstay of that bygone era. But, just like that, the reign of the cargo jeans was over, and it swept the skinny jeans to take its place.
Romantic Ruffles
Another volume-centric trend, ruffled denim brings a heady dose of romance to this wardrobe staple. Opt for pieces that feature ruffles along sleeves or hemlines for a subtle look.
All-Over Adornments
While recent runways have been awash with treated denim of all kinds, we especially love the versatility that top-to-bottom embellishments bring to jeans separates.
With this trend, the higher the contrast, the more eye-popping the effect. For subtle shine, look for dark-wash denim with dark-toned rhinestones. Conversely, gray materials with silver studs or stoning deliver intense textural impact.

Creative Cut-Outs
Unlike other cut-out trends that are all about showing skin, this year’s trending denim approach to cut-outs is all about exciting structure. From garter-style pants-and-shorts combos to striped waist cut-outs, the vibe isn’t nearly naked but rather cleverly crafted.
The fact that denim may, can, and will be repurposed beyond its original lineage goes to show the power of 80s fashion. It may date back to the 19th century, but the fabric’s mass appeal is only increasing with time.
