VB Just Showed Us Which 2 Styles of Jeans She's Backing for 2021
We'll be the first to admit that trying to predict trends this year has been a little tricky. Funnily enough, our fashion crystal ball back in late 2019 didn't tell us that, due to a global pandemic, we'd end up spending more time wanting to wear loungewear than denim. But now, as this appears to be our new normal, jeans are back on our minds and, it would seem, Victoria Beckham's, who showcased not one but two different pairs of jeans over the weekend on her Instagram. This can only lead us to conclude that these are the styles that the designer is backing for 2021, considering she always wears trends from her collections at least one season ahead.
The silhouettes VB is wearing couldn't be more different from each other. On the one hand, it's a super-skinny, almost jegging-style pair of jeans worn with a chunky knit and comfy socks. On the other hand, she's wearing a pair of huge flare jeans that reach well over her shoes. I asked the Who What Wear team which style they'd go for, and while there was some debate, most opted for the skinny style. So which one will you go for in the new year? Keep scrolling to see the two jeans outfits in action and then shop both styles below.
Style Notes: I'm convinced that even skinny jeans haters can be converted by this outfit of classic blue denim paired with a chunky knit and socks.

Style Notes: Oversize flares are definitely the ones to watch for 2021. Take a tip from VB and hunt down a patchwork pair.
