Then, there’s your best friend, whose presence has lasted through every point and season. Certain styles of jeans are like that. They simply never go out of style.

Wide-leg jeans are like the Diana Ross of denim—timeless, elegant, and always in vogue. Whether you’re strutting down the streets of Paris or kicking back at your local coffee shop, wide-leg jeans are guaranteed to turn heads. Wide-leg jeans pair well with a crisp white blouse and statement accessories for a chic yet effortless look. Opt for tops with interesting details, cut-outs, or ruffles to add a touch of drama to your ensemble. And let’s not forget Valentino’s Spring 2024 show, where models rocked baggy blue jeans styled with white floral cut-out tops that screamed effortless chic.

There’s something undeniably cool about cuffed jeans. Maybe it’s their laid-back vibe or ability to show off your killer footwear. Whatever it is, cuffed jeans are a great addition to your denim collection. With cuffed jeans, some midriff action on the top, via a crop top or a tank top to display your shoulders, makes a good styling combo. However, cuffed jeans are an excellent opportunity to show off your fabulous footwear, so whether your vibe is relaxed and cool with some fresh kicks or casual chic with heels, they give your shoes the spotlight they deserve.
Low-rise baggy jeans

Low-rise baggy jeans, a landmark of the cool ’90s aesthetic, are relaxed in their retro feel. Fashion ‘it’ girls like Lori Harvey are rocking this style of denim, which proves that the low-rise baggies have had a significant comeback as a denim staple. Low-rise jeans paired with a fitted crop top, a button-down blouse, a bikini top, a la Christina Aguilera, and chunky platform sandals like Lori Harvey are just a few ways this style can swing. Something about low-rise jeans urges you to be as daring as possible, with a cropped graphic tee or a mesh shirt a la coperni.
Dark wash jeans

When in doubt, go dark. Dark wash jeans are the ultimate wardrobe staple, effortlessly transitioning from day to night with a simple change of accessories. Dark wash jeans with a pop of colour and bold accessories, like a statement handbag or vibrant scarf, elevate the visual impact of the darker hue. Don’t shy away from the neons and oranges while rocking a dark wash pair. And when it comes to high fashion moments, Casablanca’s Fall 2024 collection delivered the goods with two-piece straight jeans and matching jackets that exuded style.

Last but certainly not least, we have straight-leg jeans—the unsung heroes of every wardrobe. They’re versatile, flattering, and guaranteed to stand the test of time. Straight-leg jeans are for the on-the-go gals who desire comfort and ease while on the go. Experiment with different washes and textures to add visual interest to your outfit. Style a pair with a sleek button-down shirt and ankle boots for a polished yet versatile look. Look no further than Coperni’s Spring 2024 collection in Paris, which featured straight-leg jeans paired with denim-panelled tops that were equal parts edgy and elegant.
