6 Standout Ways to Style the Latest Denim Trends

If you've been hesitant about heavily ripped or destroyed denim, the secret is balancing out the jeans with a tailored, structured top. Caxla takes super-shredded, low-slung baggy jeans and pairs them with a sophisticated, high-neck beige sleeveless top, making this the perfect street-style look for shopping around the Marais. I will definitely be stealing this look for my next trip to Paris.

Whether you love them or hate them, capri jeans are back on the fashion radar—and it-girls are proving just how versatile they can be. You can lean into a sleek, uptown look like Alexandra with a fitted white knit, broad leather belt, and kitten heels, or go total Y2K like Lily in a denim halter vest, red contrast trim, and matching red slides. The key to making knee-length denim look flattering? Always opt for an open-toe slide or kitten heel.

Statement denim isn't going anywhere, and side-fringe trim is easily one of the funnest iterations we've seen this season. Olivia lets her low-rise, fringe-detailed wide-leg jeans take center stage by pairing them with a bright bubblegum-pink tank, sleek dark shades, and zebra-print thong sandals. Mixing fringe with a pop of color and a touch of animal print makes the outfit whimsical and playful, the perfect NYC summer look.

If you want that effortless French-girl aesthetic, this is your blueprint. Lou styles straight-leg blue jeans featuring split ankle hems with a crisp white ribbed tank top. The split hem gives your shoes total room to shine, which is crucial when you’re leaning into rich, tactile textures like her matching warm suede shoulder bag and suede pointed boots. It’s clean, Parisian, and so chic. 

Ultra-baggy, low-slung denim has been taking over, but the trick to making it feel high-fashion is all in the styling. Audrey pairs voluminous, folded-waistband jeans with a cheeky cropped graphic tee and immediately elevates the look with a black baker boy cap, sharp point-toe pumps, and a classic printed Louis Vuitton purse. Adding those sharp, dressy accessories gives slouchy denim a refined, intentional edge. 

Whether you're leaning into dramatic side-fringe, playing with proportions via capris, or personally embroidering your jeans, this season is all about making your jeans the focal point of the outfit rather than an afterthought.
