These Are the Jeans Every Fashion Person Will Wear in 2023

As we inch closer and closer to 2023, our sartorial minds continue to shift to the trends that will dominate in the New Year. On that note, we recently covered the handbag styles and more daring looks that are sure to reign supreme among the style crowd. Next up, we thought we’d cover the best 2023 denim trends. After all, jeans are often one of the most important and versatile pieces in a wardrobe.
While skinny jeans will never really go "out,” because of their classic nature, there’s been a move toward more relaxed denim cuts over the last few seasons. And that looser silhouette will continue to pick up momentum in 2023.
For more on the trending relaxed cuts and more, keep scrolling for further insight into 2023 denim trends. You’ll also uncover visual inspiration and product recommendations if you’re interested in adding a new pair of jeans to your wardrobe to kick off the New Year.
Two-Tone Jeans
A pair of classic blue jeans will always hit, but two-tone styles (like jeans that have both lighter and darker washes) will be front-runners among the fashion crowd.
Puddle Jeans
Puddle pants—those trousers that pool around the ankles—were a key silhouette in fall 2022, and the look will expand even further in the denim realm in 2023.
Cargo Jeans
Yep, those Y2K-inspired silhouettes will hold strong this coming year, including cargo jeans for a cool vibe.
Wide-Leg Jeans
Relaxed jeans—especially wide-leg jeans—aren't going anywhere in 2023. Side note—adore this denim-on-denim look.
Tailored Jeans
For a polished silhouette, don't underestimate the power of a more tailored pair of jeans. This darker style has seaming on the front for an elegant look.
