Olivia Palermo Just Proved This Denim Trend Isn't Going Anywhere

Frayed-hem jeans are nothing new—the trend first popped up in 2015 and has been going strong ever since. We were curious to see where it would land this year, as it proved to be so popular in 2016 (trends can sometimes fall off the wagon when they reach such popularity). But this denim trend certainly shows no signs of slowing down, and now that it's been endorsed by Olivia Palermo (at London Fashion Week), we're convinced it'll be sticking around for some time yet.
As with all trends that have staying power, something must change for it to remain relevant, and Olivia Palermo is demonstrating the updated version of the trend, with the frayed-hem sitting unevenly. This is super easy to DIY yourself. Just grab a pair of scissors and trim a few frays off one leg to give the trend an update.
Scroll down to peep the look and shop a pair of black frayed-hem jeans.
