This Jeans Trend Will Make Any Outfit Feel Relaxed and Chic

There are a few denim trends that continue to reign supreme among the fashion crowd. Of course, tried-and-true straight-leg blue jeans are in the mix, and even skinny jeans are front-runners for many. Well, jeans in those silhouettes but with raw hems are also go-tos.
Super-distressed jeans are actually incredibly popular right now, but we're referring to cleaner, non-distressed styles with fray at the bottom. In fact, if you scroll through the Instagram feeds of some of your favorite fashion people, you’re bound to uncover a few solid outfit ideas that feature this specific jeans trend. The cut really does bring a relaxed and chic spin to any look.
Keep scrolling to check out some of these ensembles that focus on raw-hem denim. There’s also a variety of the best raw-hem jeans to shop if you’re interested in adding a fresh pair to your denim rotation.
A pair of lighter-wash jeans is always fresh. A silhouette like this with the cropped raw hem is chic and brings an easy feel to the look.
For a simple yet elevated vibe, consider a more relaxed pair of jeans with your favorite wardrobe staples.
You just can't go wrong with black jeans for a streamlined look. A raw-hem pair like this with trend-forward basics just works flawlessly.
Straight-leg jeans and those styles that are a bit looser will never fail you. This specific pair features just a slight raw hem—a small detail that really adds to the look.
