In the past view months we have featured many denim collections shown in London. Paris, and Milan. The resons why we are doing this is so that you guys out there get the general idea of what trends to expect in the coming months.
This is always a very good help especially when it comes to purchasing new jeans. Knowing what styles will be trending may be the key factor for you on knowing how much you’d be ready to spend.
Meaning that you probably won’t want to spend too much on a top trending fashion item which will very likely go out of fashion in the seasons after. But you’d probably be more likely to spend on classics. styles and fits we like to call “forever” jeans. Which includes vintage denim of course.
Summing it up – what will be trending this coming spring and summer – we tried to make it as simple and clear as possible:-) Please feel free to get back to us with any questions by leaving a message below our feature!
Denim trends for 2026 are pointing towards a blend of comfort, dramatic silhouettes, and a strong focus on sustainability. Based on recent trend forecasts and runway looks for Spring/Summer 2026 here are our key predictions:
Silhouettes and Cuts
Wide-Leg & Relaxed Fits:
Baggy, slouchy, and wide-leg jeans continue to dominate, offering comfort and a relaxed aesthetic.
Barrel-Leg Jeans:
Also known as carrot or balloon jeans, this architectural silhouette is a key style, creating volume through the hip and thigh, tapering at the ankle.
Straight Fit:
Straight-leg jeans are a timeless staple, we love them for their versatility, wearing them for many different occasions.
Cuffed/Turn-Up Hems:
Intentional, oversized turn-up hems are back, Remember the boyfriend jeans with rolled up hems… just that now it’s only one single wide cuff as opposed to rolled up.
Fabrics, Colors, and Finishes
Sustainability in Focus:
There’s a heightened commitment to eco-friendly denim, utilizing organic cotton, recycled materials, and waterless dyeing techniques.
Dark Washes & Raw Denim:
Dark wash raw denim and deep black are key colors, moving away from harsh washed-out effects.
Ripped and Distressed:
Distressed and ripped jeans are definitely not going anywhere!
Details and Styling
Utility Chic:
Functional details like multiple pockets, buckles, and zippers are incorporated for a rugged edge and also very practical.
Structural Details:
Artisanal touches like contrast topstitching, curved and twisted seams, texture, and visible hems always make a fashion statement.
Clean and Tailored:
A counterpoint to the more dramatic and extravagant styles , we’re talking here about minimal detailing, stark and simple, making them suitable for work or even elevated evening wear.
