Women everywhere will all, unless they are incredibly lucky, attest to the trials and tribulations of trying to find that perfect pair of jeans that fits their body like a glove.
Now, it is definitely not the case that the trending styles of jeans for this autumn/winter season are automatically going to fit your own body in this way, but on the journey to finding your denim soulmate, you might as well give the top trending designs a try.
Here is a simple guide to the latest trends in women’s jeans.
1. Pleated & Darted Jeans
Toteme, Gucci, and Tibi have all recently released their latest offerings in the denim department, and a clear favorite style is that of the darted or pleated leg.
Jeans with pintucks and darts automatically elevate their sense of occasion, and arguably, some of the more convincing high street dupes could be worn in a workplace setting as well as in a casual one, providing they are paired with the right top, shoes, and accessories.
Glossy or dark brown matte brogues, together with dark blue, fitted darted jeans and a crisp white shirt, could be a great office outfit.
2. Boyfriend Jeans
Next, one of the most versatile styles of jeans, which continue to be in fashion and have been for a couple of years, is the boyfriend jean, which gives a more relaxed and effortless look.
Make sure, when shopping for comfortable and stylish boyfriend jeans, that you resist the urge to choose an overly baggy pair as, ideally, you need them to be wider and looser on the leg but fit your waist more snuggly.
3. Horseshoe Jeans
This time last year, many leading designer denim brands included the horseshoe jean in their showcase, and once again, the horseshoe silhouette is back. This time, it is not just confined to jeans.
When on the hanger, horseshoe jeans have a similar aesthetic to harem pants, but when worn, they tend to sculpt the body at the top and taper out by the knees, ending on a wide leg.
As you might expect, there is a lot of debate as to whether horseshoe fashion will catch on in the mainstream, so if you really want to show your fashion knowledge, grab yourself a pair of horseshoe jeans as soon as possible.
4. The ‘90s Straight Leg
Finally, if you are looking for the ultimate in effortless cool this season yet still want to feel comfortable and not have to spend half an hour squeezing your legs into your trusty leather leggings, then the ‘90s straight leg jean is your new BFF.
Imagine Kate Moss in her cigarette-smoking, Johnny Depp era and choose a pair of stonewash or even acid-wash straight-leg jeans, ideally without a belt and even better, over a plain white t-shirt tucked into the waistband.
It would also be pertinent to note that, if you are looking for a summery denim look, longline denim shorts in all shades, cut in the ‘90s style, are also currently trending.
