4 Major Spring Denim Trends to Know for 2023

From the key denim silhouettes spotted on the S/S 23 runways to cool blue jeans outfits that are unfolding during fashion month on the streets of New York and Paris, there are some major spring denim trends for 2023 to know about. Specifically, there are four essential ones to know if you're interested in updating your denim collection for the new season, which includes everything from shapes that are on the rise to the color that is gaining momentum to how denim is being styled.

Loose and low silhouettes are continuing, so you can rest assured that you'll get plenty more wear out of those pieces if you've already invested in the trend. Long denim maxi skirts feel fresh and new. Notably, they were a huge trend on the street style scene during fashion month for the F/W 23 collections, so we can expect to see even more of the trend in the coming months. The runways and street style set also endorsed dark washes and denim-on-denim looks, with updated styling tweaks. Ahead, see the four major spring denim trends to know for 2023 and shop each of them.

Though controversial, low-rise jeans are here to stay. What sets them apart from super low denim from the early 2000s, though, is a slightly higher rise and their loose and relaxed silhouette—each element making the trend much more wearable than their predecessors. In the S/S 23 collections of brands including Bottega Veneta, Jacquemus, and Dior, there are many cool takes on the trend.

If I had to recommend one denim trend to buy for spring 2023, it would be the denim maxi skirt. Spotted in the S/S 23 collections of brands such as Tibi, we're seeing a return to the '90s silhouette with takes that range from minimalism to grunge.

When it comes to denim for spring, the more, the better. At least that's the case with the rise of denim-on-denim looks pairing jeans with pieces such as button-down tops and denim jackets. This is another area where we're seeing looser silhouettes, but it works just as well with more tailored pieces.

Lived-in medium and light denim washes have been dominant for the last several years, but we're seeing more dark-wash denim for spring 2023. The deeper wash adds an element of polish and sophistication that make these jeans the perfect piece for transitioning from day to night.
