Yep, Layered Jeans Are the Polarizing New Denim Trend
Sure, classic skinny jeans never get old, but we love a good head-scratching trend to talk about too. The latest look that's sure to spark some healthy debate? Layered jeans—and no, I'm not talking about layering clothes over your jeans (that's so 2017). I came across Natasha Zinko's Layered Waistband Jeans ($1095) and was immediately intrigued. "Triple the waistband, triple the fun," as Jessica Minkoff, who's pictured wearing the jeans above, noted. Who could argue with that?
Upon further investigation, I realized that several other brands have also jumped on board with the layered jeans look. Sandro, Alexander Wang, and Tortoise have all experimented with double waistbands while Sacai and Y/Project interpreted the trend a bit differently. Oh, and if you want a layered denim jacket, Monse has you covered there too. Scroll down to shop the denim trend you have to see to believe.

Erin got her start as a Who What Wear intern over 14 years ago—back when the site only published a single story per day. (Who What Wear has since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC, which is how she ended up moving to Los Angeles from her hometown of San Diego. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2015, where she currently holds the title of Associate Director of Fashion News (as well as the unofficial title of resident royal expert—in case you haven't noticed her numerous Kate and Meghan stories). She spends her days trying to incorporate her idols, Anna Wintour and Roger Federer, into as many stories as possible.
