7 Easy Spring Denim Trends That Will Soon Be Everywhere
A classic, a favorite, the great style leveler—when it comes to trends everyone can get on board with, jeans are it. So there's good news for us all this season: countless designers—Givenchy and Burberry, Altuzarra and Stella McCartney, among them—have imagined different ways to wear the all-American go-to, from patchwork to cargo, mini to maxi skirts, and even head-to-toe looks. Read on for our definitive edit of the spring denim trends to put on your radar now.
From an oversized jean jacket and skate shorts at Givenchy to the supersized denim shirt and dress combo at Burberry, all-over denim is big news this season. Formerly known as a Canadian suit, the top-to-toe look is one of the easiest ways to buy into your favorite designer brands—and prove you know a thing or two about spring denim trends while you do it.
Last spring’s denim trend was all about the calf-length midi. Now that look has evolved into a longer, leaner maxi, often reaching floor-grazing lengths. Cooler than jeans and more casual than a floaty skirt, it’s an effortless summer look. Pair yours with platform sandals and an oversized tee.
DIY-feel denim is having a major moment. From Stella McCartney’s jeans inset with leather to Nensi Dojaka’s paneled take, it seems the imperfectly perfect pieced-together look is a big spring denim trend. We love it dressed up with a loose, cropped shirt, dressed down with a relaxed crop top or simply paired with a shrunken t-shirt.
This season’s new work-to-weekend amorphous jeans will put a little swish in your step. Roomy and fluid, these XXL wide legs look just as good with a blazer in the boardroom as with a sequin crop top for post-office drinks.
Not everyone’s a fan of supersized silhouettes, and that’s why a micro mini in bleached white denim is set to be a summer hit. Perfect for warmer months, this simple spring denim trend is an easy update to winter jeans. Pretty yours up with a floral top, or treat it like a modern coverup and pull over your swimsuit after a dip in the pool.
A firm favorite since early last year, 90s-feel cargo denim is still going strong. Put it down to ease and versatility—or those built-in deep pockets that render shoulder bags redundant. Wear yours with neon heels for a heightened 90s vibe, or pair them with platform sneakers and keep your look cool and casual.
More of a micro trend than a major runway mainstay, the denim dress was embraced by a coterie of established designers and newcomers alike. We can’t choose between Marine Serre’s riveted strapless midi, Monot’s strapless gown, or Carolina Herrera’s summer mini dress.
