As I’ve mentioned before, my style is unabashedly simple—and I’m starting to get the sense that others can relate. Yes, we all love these special items, say some statement shoes or a fun party dress, but when it comes to day-to-day dressing, we like to keep it real. That’s why, while many of my co-workers have done their due diligence to bring you the latest and most of-the-moment denim trends, I thought it was time I gave it my own spin with the best for people with style like me. So, if you want to spice up your jean drawer without going overboard, just continue on to read about—and, of course, shop—the three denim trends I love to buy and wear.

This little detail makes jeans stand out while still remaining simple enough to pair with everything.

Ultra High
I recently bought a pair of jeans with a 12.5-inch rise, and I just love how they pair so well with cropped or tucked-in tops.
