9 Denim Trends You Need to Try Right Now - Forbes

Newsflash: Denim isn't going anywhere. And the new trends in denim are becoming even more wearable and flattering. The rise is getting higher, the fit is getting looser, and the texture is becoming softer. Brands are really putting a lot of time and effort into constructing the perfect pair of jeans that are guaranteed to become a closet staple. Not only that, but we're also obsessing over nostalgic brands like Levi's and Wrangler, the latter of which just went through a reboot last summer.

In this edit, we've rounded up some of our favorites — but we didn't just stop at bottoms, here you'll find denim jumpsuits and dresses, too.

Levi's Ribcage Super High Rise Jeans

Everyone has their favorite pair of Levi's — the 501, the wedgie, etc. — but wait until you try the ribcage. The rise is 11.75 inches, which is a whole inch and a quarter higher than the 501 and wedgie, and are super flattering. We love these because they accentuate the waistline (thanks to how high the rise is), and secondly, you can wear crop tops with this fit and not bare as much stomach. Win.

Another member of the Levi's Ribcage family are these belted stunners. We love the relaxed vibe of this pair, with the frayed hem and self-tie belt. (Pssst...the belt is also removable so you can substitute it for a statement belt of your own.)

GRLFRND Jourdan Denim Shorts

GRLFRND Jourdan Denim Shorts

Revolve

You feel comfortable just looking at these, right? This pair has a longer length and a slouchier fit than your average denim short, and the wash is on point for those warm summer days. You can wear these casually with a t-shirt and sneakers, or you can dress them up with a statement sleeve blouse and neutral sandals or booties.

Wrangler Factory Floor Coverall

Wrangler Factory Floor Coverall

Revolve

These slouchy coveralls could not be any cuter, even if they tried. Wrangler created the perfect denim jumpsuit that's easy to dress up or down for any occasion. It's shown here as more of a going-out fit, but the front does fully zip for a more daytime look.

What attracted us to this dress was the length. Usually, denim dresses come in a mini style, but this one adds length and a form-fitting silhouette. That, along with the belted waist, adds class and sophistication to a traditionally casual fabric.
