This year is shaping up to be the era of denim. No more fussy fits or styles that don’t last. This year, it is all about comfort, shape, and cool-girl energy. Think high-rise waistlines, throwback cuts, and jeans that do the work for you.
These five styles are set to dominate your feed and your closet. Let’s break down the ones you will see on everyone from L.A. to NYC:

Straight-leg jeans are back in full swing, and the Grlfrnd Sara pair is leading the charge. This cut hugs in all the right places and hits just at the ankle for that timeless feel. It is super high-rise, which means it holds everything in and adds instant polish. Pair it with a cropped tee or oversized blazer. Either way, it works.

A fashion trend doesn’t have to be flashy to be strong. These skinnies are a closet staple that works 24/7. Style them with a tank, boots, or a hoodie and still look pulled together. These jeans show up for you, no matter what you throw on top.
Madewell: The Perfect Vintage Wide-Leg Jeans
If this year had a signature silhouette, it would be this wide-leg wonder. Madewell nailed the fit with these high-rise jeans that flare just enough. The vintage wash adds personality without screaming for attention. They are relaxed but not sloppy, bold but easy to wear.

InStyle / Cuffs bring a throwback touch that is key in the current fashion trend wave. They feel fresh but familiar, like something your favorite celeb casually throws on before brunch.
Ética Stanton High-Rise Relaxed Cuff Jeans

Paige Manhattan High-Waist Bootcut Jeans
Bootcut is having a full-on moment again, and the Paige Manhattan jeans make it easy to get on board. These hit high at the waist, skim the thigh, and flare just right at the ankle. They are sleek, flattering, and honestly feel a little bit powerful.
The fashion trend shift to more balanced silhouettes is what makes bootcut special again. They work with everything - heeled boots, chunky sneakers, or classic pumps. It is that “legs for days” effect that never goes out of style, and this pair nails it.
