Everywhere I turn, someone's talking about the return of skinny jeans. But where are all these so-called slim-fit converts? I have seen a few content creators styling fitted denim with tall boots, but really, the skinny-jean wave's crest hasn't been quite as high as people projected a few months ago. At least in Los Angeles, loose and relaxed denim is continuing to dominate. Don't believe me? See Hailey Bieber's recent jeans look for proof.
On Hailey Bieber: Saint Laurent Vendome Slingback Pumps ($950); Khaite bag; Toteme coat
Just before the weekend, Bieber was spotted at celebrity hot spot Sushi Park, located in West Hollywood, alongside Kendall and Kylie Jenner and Stassie Karanikolaou. Her three dinner guests' looks remain unseen in photographs from the evening, but not Bieber's. For the girls' night out, the Rhode founder chose to style a white T-shirt with a printed Toteme fur coat, her go-to Khaite envelope clutch, Saint Laurent slingback heels, and yes, baggy, low-rise dark-wash jeans. Basically, she chose the furthest denim style from skinny jeans, thus making a strong statement about where she stands in the current skinny-jeans debate.
If you too are siding with relaxed denim in 2025, keep scrolling. There are plenty of great pairs to choose from below.
