Lately, you might have noticed a lot of discussion about having great jeans—you know, with New York Fashion Week having wrapped up and all. As the seasons begin to change, it's time to turn our attention to the best fall denim trends of 2025. After all, one could argue that having a good denim lineup is one of the most crucial wardrobe necessities.
Summer has officially left us, and colder, windy temperatures call for jeans that not only will keep us warm but will also pair up nicely with an array of cashmere sweaters, trench coats, and beyond. It's all about keeping proportions top of mind this season, so think '80s style cigarette jeans that evoke nostalgia, low-rise baggy jeans that feel distinctly modern, and classic straight-leg picks that remain a staple in our closets.
Below, the seven best jean trends that will make styling your clothes for fall a total breeze.
Cigarette Jeans
It seems only fitting that the capri craze of the summer would transfer over to fall in some way. This season, a slim fit courtesy of a cigarette pant will ensure your outfits look sleek and streamlined—even if the top half of your outfit is covered in bulky layers. They also pair well with shoes like knee-high boots.
2. Low-Rise Baggy
Before you begin to scroll away after reading the words "low-rise" allow me to explain. Instead of the stuffy early aughts skinny fit denim that haunted us all, allow the silhouette to have chance with a baggier construction. The dimension play between a lower slung style offers up a more approachable way to experiment.
3. Embellished
Dark hues and neutral shades are always a go-to during the fall season. Dress up your array of basics with a statement jean featuring a unique embellishment or bedazzled detailing that adds a touch of shimmer.
4. Dark Wash
A dark-wash jean is undeniably sexy. On the runways, the edgy style was a reoccurring star. You can always count on the moody hue to look elegant and be a fit for a variety of different aesthetics.
5. Simple Straight Leg
Classics remain classic this fall. Your straight-leg jeans that you love? Break them out regularly this season, and they will always be a hit. Keep your pairings chic and straightforward for a uniform look.
6. Barrel
Barrel jeans can be a bit divisive for some, but the subtle volume can be such a fun way to make your outfit feel unique and effortlessly cool. Believe it or not, the sculptural silhouette is very versatile too.
7. Cuffing Season
Time to cuff up—your jeans that is! Intentional cuffs and rolled up hems will give your outfit a bit of a break and lighter feel. Use this approach to show up those really cute new boots you have or a sock and heel combo.
