2024 jeans trends: which jeans to buy this year to refresh our personal jeans collection and our outfits?
First of all, it seems that the fateful moment has really arrived, this time: after several seasons in which we had been “threatened” that skinny jeans were going down, this time they really seem to be a bit out of fashion.
Top Picks for Jeans to Purchase Now:
Are skinny jeans still on trend?
And I admit it: it’s a bit of a trauma, because besides having a physique suitable for skinny jeans (my legs seem to age miraculously better than other parts of my body), I also found them extraordinarily versatile.
From day (with a low ankle boot or a pair of medium heeled sandals) to night (with a more feminine, high-heeled shoe), they were perfect for so many outfits!
Also, the models among the 2024 jeans trends are really many.
WHAT’S NEW ABOUT DENIM IN 2024
The concept, in general, seems to be a bit like this: anything that isn’t skinny, especially if it’s short at the ankle, is in fashion this year and creates a “2024” touch in your look.

Jeans Trends for 2024: So Many New Cuts
Obviously, the 2024 jeans trends discourse is more complex than that and the cuts are really many, all with names like “cropped flare”, “culotte jeans” and so on; but by now you know me and you know that I like to simplify and get straight 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, probably my favorite cut of 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.

Great return of the straight leg jeans: to avoid the “trunk” effect, opt for a short 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 (almost) always better! Many new fits are more up to date and look better if chosen in a cropped version.
- Balance your jeans with the right top. It’s fine to wear culotte jeans if you like them, but combine them with a tighter top. Also, with the new long and slightly oversized blazers, it’s better to wear a slim leg jeans.
… 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.

wow this is amazing
Thank you!
I am SO digging the 2023 looks; have been wearing them for the last two years, thanks to Pinterest and French fashion.💕💕💕
Awesome! This post is really amazing. Love this post.
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.
Hi Martine, I don’t like the low rise too, it’s so uncomfortable!
You have made such cute collection of denim jeans.
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.
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.
I totally agree with you and your style concept, Robyn! Thanks for sharing this!
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.
Awesome post!!! Thank u!
When you’re short and plus size, this shorter jean is a no.
Amen, sister! We might be twins!
I love that! Have a good day!
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.
Amen! I agree 100%!!
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
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.
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!
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!
I like seeing a heel with jeans again, but like anything, wear what you like, and what you find flattering for you. 🙂
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?
Hi Meredith, unfortunately, I don’t know the brand, I’m sorry!
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.
Adorable jeans trends. I like your selection. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Diana! Have a nice weekend!
Mind blowing post. I really like this post. Thanks for sharing with us.
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?
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.
Great Post! You are sharing a wonderful post. Thanks and keep sharing.
Thank you very much Amanda! I’m glad you liked it!
