Everyone Is Wearing This New Denim Trend

More than anything else in my closet, denim is the one thing that gets the most wear. I’ll attribute this to my Arizona roots where denim was a huge part what I dressed in growing up. Later, after moving to L.A., which is no doubt the denim capital of the world, my penchant for it was only reinforced.

Since I wear jeans most days of the week, I always have my eye out for the latest denim trends to sweep the fashion world. In recent years, there have been plenty of shifts in the denim landscape—from skinny jeans to cropped styles to super flares to straight-leg cuts—that have been more about the silhouette than anything else. Recently, though, there’s a whole new movement in denim that is less about the shape and instead focused on interesting prints and patterns.

Fashion girls have been quick to hop on board with the new denim trend, but celebs like Hailey Baldwin have also been spotted wearing it. Scroll on to see the four major ways the stylish set is wearing it now, as well as my personal favorite way to wear the trend this fall.

This fall, one of the biggest trends to work into your wardrobe is animal print. Snake-effect jeans are already a big hit and feel fresh for the season ahead.

As I said, I'm a personal fan of the printed denim for fall and recently tried them for myself with leopard jeans—my favorite version of the trend.
