Denim Guide: 5 Major SS23 Trends
Get ready to level up your denim game because jeans are having a major moment this spring. It was only a matter of time: Casual trends have dominated the market these past few years, and designers have expanded their jean offerings in response. Cue a slew of new and innovative styles, replete with Y2K embellishments, extra-wide leg room, and more. Once a fallback for anyone in an off-duty, casual kind of mood, jeans have since been elevated to the height of luxury and were seen all over the runways, at Chloé, Jacquemus, Khaite, and Givenchy, to name a few. Even the denim-shy can dip their toes into the trend, with platform shoes, slouchy boots and evening-ready clutches providing the perfect accent to any non-jean look. Ready to shop? Read on for our guide to the definitive denim trends of SS23 first.
Studded, low-slung, crystal-adorned or printed—there’s an appetite for jeans that are totally extra this spring. Recalling the late 90s and early aughts, when True Religion reigned supreme, the embellished denim trend takes this former closet staple to a sparkly new level.
Anyone craving extra legroom need look no further. Falling somewhere between chic culottes and baggy skateboarder pants, this roomy and versatile denim trend looks perfect with a shirt and blazer (in place of tailored pants in the office) or a tshirt and sneakers on the weekend.
True denim-heads can turn their Canadian Tuxedos into all-over territory by pairing with a denim choker, bag, and shoes this season. The denim-shy among us looking to subtly buy into spring's denim trend, however, can pair black pants, and a white t-shirt with denim kitten heels and an evening clutch, to low-key chic effect.
Consider this your one-and-done route to chic. Denim dresses are perfect for the summer months and a short or swinging silhouette makes day-to-night dressing a cinch. Pair with western boots and a blazer for an entirely modern vibe.
Forget miniscule shorts or long, floaty dresses, a calf-length skirt with a front split is the must-have spring silhouette of the moment. A favorite among fashion insiders and the street style set, alike, it’s well-loved for its effortlessly cool and timeless vibe. Side note: this denim trend looks just as good with evening-ready heels as with sneakers and sandals.
