Top 10 Denim Trends to Follow This Autumn

Denim is a staple in everyone's wardrobe because it’s versatile, comfy, and can be worn on many occasions.

With the trend of drainpipe and skinny jeans on its way out, we have a plethora of nostalgic denim trends coming back into the world of fashion to look forward to this autumn.

And with fall fast approaching, it’s only natural to begin wondering what styles of clothing we should be preparing to wear.

For the lowdown on the top 10 denim trends for next season, here are the jeans you’ll need in your wardrobe.

1 - Stacked Denim

Inspired by streetwear, the stacked flares denim look consists of jeans with an elongated inseam from the knee to the ankle, allowing the wearer to create mini folds tapered up the leg, creating the desired stacked look.

To maintain the stacked appearance this fall wear high-tops or boots to hold the style in place.

2 - Printed Denim

While plain denim jeans still have their place, for the adventurous, consider trying and buying some printed denim to amp up your outfits this fall.

From subtle feminine florals worn with a loose white blouse to a much-loved paisley design coupled with a plain tee and overcoat.

If you’re yet to add printed denim to your closet, the time is now.

3 - Double Denim

Dare to wear double denim this fall?

Wearing head-to-toe denim is the epitome of fashion this fall, and has made many appearances on the runway this year.

Designers like Stella McCartney opted to revive and provide a fresh take on denim ensembles, so take a look to see what you think about this trend.

4 - Flared Denim

The desired silhouette of denim is changing, with flares, a must-have in the 70s, making its way back onto the catwalk, into the stores and wardrobes of everyone's homes.

Flared denim comes in high and low-waisted designs, hugging the curves down to the calves, which is where the denim takes a turn and flares outwards.

This style of denim is perfect for balancing out wider hips and shoulders.
