Basic Jeans Aren't Out, But This Denim Trend Feels Way More 2025

Jeans are, by far, the most worn wardrobe item in my closet and always will be. I love light-wash and dark-wash pairs equally and never shy away from the occasional white or black version. For me and many others, these, dare I say, basic jeans options will never be out. However, there are more current denim trends to explore, and they shouldn't be overlooked just because the classic styles continue to be great. One trend that's particularly buzzy for fall 2025 is khaki denim, and brands like Agolde, Citizens of Humanity, and Still Here are all jumping on board. You know who else is hyped about the khaki-denim trend? Jennifer Aniston.
The Friends star was spotted leaving the Greenwich Hotel in Tribeca alongside Jim Curtis wearing a simple yet chic outfit for a day in New York City. It included a black tank top, a tan hat, brown Tkees flip-flops, and a pair of cropped, slim-fit khaki jeans. She finished off the ensemble with a few necklaces, a watch, and a pair of oversize aviator-style sunglasses.
On Jennifer Aniston: Tkees Flip-Flop ($60)
The denim color has been bubbling up for a while now and has mostly been styled with either black or white tops and Aniston's same sandal choice. Though, you could easily dress it up with classic mules or slingbacks for a night out. Add a black belt for added intention, or do like the It girls in 2025 and tie a silk scarf around your waist to add some color. Given that khaki is such a neutral shade, the styling possibilities with this denim option are truly endless, and with so many fashion people wearing it right now, there's also an abundance of outfit inspiration to help you introduce it into your fall 2025 wardrobe.
