5 Fall Denim Trends Our Editors Are Wearing Everywhere in 2025

It’s finally jeans season again, and luckily for all of us, fall’s biggest denim trends are just as wearable as they are chic. Even the most out-there silhouettes (say, J.Lo-worthy flares) require little effort to style well, and everything has a relaxed, retro attitude to complement the boho-tinged months ahead. Wide-leg jeans are still holding strong as the reigning silhouette—but there’s a much slimmer style that’s starting to creep up on it. Read on for all the intel on the fall 2025 denim trends you need to know this season, plus styling tips to get you started.

1. Slouchy silhouettes

Wide, baggy, loose jeans have been absolutely everywhere for well over a year now, and they’re going nowhere in the coming months. The look is evolving a bit for fall 2025, though; mid- and low-rise cuts are overtaking their high-rise cousins, lending the season a louche, lived-in air. (Everyone from Hailey Bieber to Jennifer Lopez has cosigned in recent weeks.) Lean into the undone energy with an oversized button-down or a vintage blouse, plus low-heeled boots. Easy!

2. Denim on denim

Once a fashion faux pas, the Canadian tuxedo is now one of the easiest ways to signal your status as a style insider. While many wearers coordinate the washes of their tops and bottoms, it’s less about being matchy-matchy than creating an interesting silhouette. As in the example above, try wearing a trendy jacket in denim and tucking it into a classic maxi; or you can also style a relaxed shirt with your favorite pair of jeans. Wear your picks with confidence and you’ll look incredible.

3. Boho flares

After a few years on the outs, flared jeans are working their way back into the zeitgeist. (I promise it’ll be better this time around.) Taking cues from the exaggerated flares of the ’70s, this modernized silhouette is a little more understated: It’s still tight through the knees and loose at the ankles, but not too dramatic for everyday wear. Avoid sneakers in favor of fall boots and heels, which tuck nicely under the extra room at the hem and provide a bit of height that (literally and sartorially) elevates the bootcuts.

4. Thrift-store denim

The street-style crowd is in the midst of a quiet denim revolution. A few seasons ago, denim was to look crisp and brand-new; now, it’s cooler to wear pairs that feel pre-worn. Dirt stains, visible mending, paint splatters, off-kilter fits, and faded washes feed right into 2025’s take on bohemian style—and, perhaps, hint at a more sustainable future. There’s beauty in the worn-in, right? Take your pick below and pair it with a flowy blouse, a shrunken blazer, or a tank top to offset the oversized cuts.

5. Cigarette jeans

Tired of wider cuts? Make the jump to cigarette jeans, also known (less charmingly) as stovepipe or boyfriend jeans, which showed up on recent runways at Bally, Diesel, and Coach. Often mistaken for skinny jeans, this pick has one key difference: It flares out ever-so-slightly at the knee, landing at the ankle with some room to spare. That quirk allows them to tuck into tall boots or fall gracefully over ankle booties, making them some of the most versatile fall bottoms—and their boho vibes pair well with this season’s trendy fur coats.
