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 in 2011—back when the site only published a single story per day. (We have since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC and lives in Los Angeles. 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 is now the Associate Director of Fashion News. From the Oscars to the Met Gala, she leads the site's entire red carpet coverage strategy. She specializes in celebrity and fashion news but also enjoys writing travel features and runway reports. She frequently contributes to WWW's social accounts and has a sizable following on her personal TikTok.
