2024 jeans trends: which jeans to buy this year to refresh our personal jeans collection and our outfits?
The moment we’ve all been anticipating is finally here. After seasons of speculation about the decline of skinny jeans, it appears they might be taking a backseat in the fashion scene this time around.
“The shift from skinny to more diverse styles like cropped bootcuts and high-waisted boyfriend jeans reflects fashion’s dynamic nature,” says Ryan Thompson, Editor at Men’s Flair, on evolving denim trends. “It’s all about experimenting with different cuts and finding what works for you. Pair them with the right shoes, and you’ve got a look that’s not just on-trend but also uniquely yours.”

Are skinny jeans still on trend?
I have to confess, it’s a bit of a shocker for me. Not only does my body shape seem tailor-made for skinny jeans (my legs seem to defy aging better than the rest), but I also found them incredibly adaptable.
Whether it was a casual day look with low ankle boots or medium-heeled sandals, or a dressier evening vibe with some chic high heels, skinny jeans just worked with so many outfits!
And let me tell you, the variety among the 2024 jeans trends is seriously impressive.
WHAT’S NEW ABOUT DENIM IN 2024
Here’s the overall idea: Anything that’s not skinny, especially if it hits above the ankle, is the fashion statement for this year, adding that trendy “2024” flair to your look.

Jeans Trends for 2024: So Many New Cuts
Of course, the discussion around the 2024 jeans trends is more intricate than just that. There are various cuts, each with names like “cropped flare” and “culotte jeans.” But you know me – I prefer to keep it simple and get right to the point.
But beyond the multiple denominations ( have a look at this post), in this post I would like to propose you a survey of the 2024 jeans trends (or, at least some of them: there are so many!).
All the images are taken from Pinterest, which is really a great source of inspiration not only to view the various trends and start to understand if they are suitable for us or if we like them but, also, to have some great tips and inspiration on how to wear them!
Are bootcut jeans on trend?
Cropped bootcut/flare jeans – hands down, my favorite style among the 2024 jeans trends…
Easy to wear, the important thing is to match them with the right shoes, like the sock boots we have seen these last seasons.

The straight leg jeans are making a strong comeback! To steer clear of the “trunk” effect, go for a shorter ankle-length version – it’s almost always slimming!
Black jeans: they are ideal to enhance the 2024 jeans trends with unusual cuts or, in general, wider and slightly voluminous models…
Among the 2024 jeans trends, the good old slim bootcut jeans is back. Ideal for those who want a more sexy and feminine cut (which, let’s face it, are not very present among the 2024 jeans trends).

Finally, a few tips for wearing trendy jeans in 2024:
- Rule No. 1, in fact, seems to be “everything goes, as long as it’s not skinny jeans”! So, try out all the 2024 jeans trends that you like and attract you.
- Also, there’s a perfect shoe for each jeans trend: often it’s just a matter of finding the right shoes! So, if you like wider styles, try balancing them with a sock boot. And, later on, with shoes that leave your ankle completely free.
Try cropped jeans
- Do you find some cuts difficult to wear? Cropped is often better!
- A lot of the fresh fits are on point and have a better vibe when picked in a cropped style.
- Maintain the right balance by pairing your jeans with a suitable top. If you fancy culotte jeans, go for a more fitted top. When rocking those new long and slightly oversized blazers, it’s best to pair them with slim leg jeans.
Who Sells The Best Eco-Friendly, High-End Jeans?
Personally, I simply LOVE Mott & Bow jeans for their unbeatable combination of style, high-end quality, and eco-friendly practices. Use discount code CRISTINAN for 10% off!
… and a final note on skinny jeans:
- You’re not ready to give up skinny jeans completely in 2024? Neither am I! To wear them in 2024, try matching them with one of the following: long and oversized blazer; long and oversized coat with waist belt, leather jacket, a dress on top, which turns your skinny jeans into leggings. The effect is amazing!
My personal favorites:
P. S. Want a pair of jeans that are truly universally flattering?
Go for a pair of Levi’s 501 cropped Jeans! I’m using mine almost non stop and almost all of my friends have wanted them!
They’re practically sold out at many stores, but you can find them at a great price here.

Mick Fazzi says
I am SO digging the 2023 looks; have been wearing them for the last two years, thanks to Pinterest and French fashion.💕💕💕
Amanda says
Awesome! This post is really amazing. Love this post.
Martine Shamzin says
Yes, I think Im settling for the slightly longer 2022 bootcut. They are the perfect more higher midrise version like Levi 725 for 2022. I am already bored with the low rise, although nice for summer. but when it gets colder, low rise never looks good with anything except bared stomach, and that is simply not appropriate too many places. And tacky. Its a nice update on the 2000.
notime says
Hi Martine, I don’t like the low rise too, it’s so uncomfortable!
Chris says
Put some of these on short women or women over 115 lbs. they look terrible!
lisa says
You have made such cute collection of denim jeans.
betsy ross says
Hate the new look. Looks like everyone was in a flood with the shorter lengths.Cropped hems with a flare just look ridiculous. Low rise is for teens that haven’t had kids yet and not a good look with stomachs (usually flabby) sticking out not to mention when you sit down and have the “plumbers butt” hanging out. What are they thinking? Baggy jeans just look sloppy.I’m already slim so don’t need the “slimming look”. I’ll be saving a lot of money cause not buying jeans this year. Sticking with my old semi-skinny jeans which look great with boots, booties and sandals-this new trend won’t last long.
Robyn A Mixon says
Yup, I’m with you all the way. Slim legs and slim people, especially on the shorter side, don’t need wide legs–it may be the look for some in 2023, but fortunately some of us are wise enough to choose what flatters. I continue to choose a stylish, current look with what looks good on me–the French way in fact–don’t be a slave to what doesn’t flatter. Love your columns all the same.
notime says
I totally agree with you and your style concept, Robyn! Thanks for sharing this!
Reb says
Yep. Hate the flooder pants. To me, it’s all about proportion. Don’t mind the others, as long as they are in proportion to the body wearing them.
Sonya says
Awesome post!!! Thank u!
Amy says
When you’re short and plus size, this shorter jean is a no.
Amy Morris says
Amen, sister! We might be twins!

I love that! Have a good day!
Lindsey says
Cropped jeans are as bad as cropped pants. They generally flatter no one. They cut off your legs and make most people look dumpy. I’m sticking to jeans that flatter my own body and I’m not letting the fashion industry shame me into wearing skinny jeans. Let’s face it, jeans last a long time and the industry needs us to buy new jeans hence the trends.
Karla says
Amen! I agree 100%!!
Francesca says
I actually love wide leg crop jeans …. Have some great pairs already by NYDJ last year and LOGO by Lori Goldstein. I like to wear them with booties in the cooler months and sandals in the spring and summer. It all depends on proportion and how you wear them. I am 5’7 and have slender legs, so they balance my figure. I also love wide leg jeans and started wearing them last year. Not sure I care for the flares that stop at the ankle, they look a little too trendy for a more classic style
Roxanne says
This makes me crazy. Two years ago we all “cared” about the planet and garment industry workers in 3rd world countries. Everyone was big on “capsule wardrobes with high quality items that last years”. Now we all are required to buy new jeans because someone decided our old ones were out of fashion? Even if I buy ethical stuff, almost nobody else does. If the last two years taught me anything it’s pretty much that the rest of the human race doesn’t get to make my life decisions for me.
Karla says
Being short is the worst, especially when it comes to jeans! I always hate these trends that come and go because trendy styles do not look good on all bodies. I say forget what’s in trend and go for what makes you look and feel good!! For me, skinny jeans make my legs look longer and leaner. Any wide legs Jean makes me look shorter and frumpy. No thanks!
Shannon says
I am kind of excited for the high waters! I am tall and have a long inseam so my problems of finding the perfect length pant are in the past! Well at least for 2023!
BECKY says
I like seeing a heel with jeans again, but like anything, wear what you like, and what you find flattering for you. 🙂
Meredith Gibson says
Hi! Great looks. Is it possible to get the brand for the short-sleeved black blouse shown in the photo featuring the high-waist boyfriend jeans?
notime says
Hi Meredith, unfortunately, I don’t know the brand, I’m sorry!
Iris Smith says
Thank you for pointing out that the discussion around the 2023 jean trends is more complicated than that and that there are many other cuts, all of which go by titles like “cropped flare,” “culotte jeans,” and so on. But at this point, you know me, and you know that I prefer to keep things simple and to the point. My mom likes wearing jeans. I will convince her to buy the jeans for her forthcoming birthday.
Diana says
Adorable jeans trends. I like your selection. Thanks for sharing.

Judy Gilforf says
This article is very helpful for styling new jeans. I’m a curvy petite and I prefer straight and slim bootcut. Thanks also for the tip about keeping pants ankle length. It makes shoe shopping easier. What do you think are essential shoes to buy for the fall season?
notime says
Hi Judy! I’m glad to hear that you found the article helpful for styling your new jeans.
As for essential shoes for the fall season, there are a few versatile options that can complement your jeans and complete your outfits. Pointy ankle boots are a must-have—they work well with various jean styles and can be dressed up or down. You might also consider some stylish loafers and a chic pair of pumps.
