While you may have a specific style you deem a staple, a few silhouettes have become increasingly popular over the last few seasons, and we have expert intel on the standouts.
Grace Na is the founder and creative director of celeb- and editor-favorite label Pistola, so yes, the term "denim expert" certainly seems appropriate here. She believes four specific denim styles are the most popular right now based on what her customers are gravitating toward and what she sees in the marketplace. Given the appeal and the fact that she does not see a cool-off for the trends in question, Na is calling these four selects front-runners in the denim space in 2025 as well.
