I Guess These Denim Trends Will Never Be Over

With the constantly evolving fashion industry, trends often go out of style faster than they come in. However, there are a few key looks that hold on season after season—usually in the denim category. In fact, there are three denim trends we’ve seen rise up recently that will continue to be popular into 2019.
We chatted with Simon Spurr, denim aficionado and newly appointed global creative director at 7 for All Mankind, to fill us in on the denim trends that will hold their own this year. So if you’re looking for inspiration on what to remove from your closet or want to test out a new style, what’s coming your way below will really come in handy. Keep scrolling for the full breakdown; then shop must-try denim silhouettes.
“Nineties looks will still be big this year—think retro mom jeans, worker denim–inspired styles, and baggy and oversize denim pieces.”
“Printed, colored, and embroidered denim is still on the rise, as well as jeans with a side stripe or a noticeable cuff.”
“Asymmetrical denim will hold its own—from button details to more eccentric asymmetries like different legs or seams.”
