The Best of the Trending Jeans This Winter
I love all things fashion, but when it comes right down to it, I’m a jeans girl. Denim is never out of style, but different versions trend from season to season. I’m all for wearing what you love, but it’s always good to add something new to your wardrobe. Today, I thought I’d share the best of the trending jeans this winter.
The Best of the Trending Jeans This Winter – Frayed Hem
Jeans with frayed hems are having a moment! They are available from every retailer, from Walmart to Neiman Marcus. These are Mother jeans, one of my very favorite denim jeans available from Nordstrom. These are ankle length which is perfect for showing off your cute booties.
Here’s another great pair of denim jeans with a slight flare. Paige is another popular brand sold at Nordstrom. These and Mother jeans are an investment, but they’ll last a very, very long time. They fit so nicely. Be warned. Once you try these, you may never be satisfied with less.
Frayed hems come in all types of denim – skinny, flared, and, of course, wide-leg. There’s just something chic about trouser shape pants. These have large pockets on the back and come in a light wash as well as the pictured dark. They run true to size but don’t go too large. Denim stretches as you wear it, and you don’t want to have a baggy bum!
The Best of the Trending Jeans This Winter – Straight Leg
Yes, straight-leg jeans are still trending! I love the vintage wash on these and the slight distressing. These hit at the ankle and can be worn with casual sneakers or cute boots. Because they’re not flared, I can also cuff them to make sure they hit at the perfect spot, or even tuck them into tall boots! When you pay more for a good pair of jeans, you want to get a lot of wear out of them.
These are Ab-Solution jeans from Democracy. They had me at AB-Solution, lol. I like that these are a cross between a straight leg and a skinny pair of jeans. Not quite skinny, but not boxy. They come in many different colors and washes, including grey, which is another trend. (More about that below.) And these won’t break the bank.
The Best of the Trending Jeans This Winter – Cargo
Cargo pants are a fun trend this year. I used to call these utility or carpenter pants, but either way, they are a fun change. I prefer the ones that don’t have gaping pockets, especially since I don’t need to carry a lot of hammers or nails. Lol!
The Best of the Trending Jeans This Winter – Wide Leg
Keeping up with the latest trends helps to keep me looking modern and youthful. All trends aren’t for me, but I’m embracing wearing wide-leg jeans. Wide-Leg jeans and pants have been on the fashion scene for a bit, but they are currently a BIG trend.
The Best of the Trending Jeans This Winter – Patch Pockets
I’ll be honest: I didn’t like this style when I first started seeing it on the websites. But, like a lot of trends, it has grown on me. I’ve even purchased a few pairs of patch pocket jeans, and I find myself wearing them since they have the unique detail and aren’t like the other 30+ jeans in my closet.
The Best of the Trending Jeans This Winter – Flares
A bootcut or a slightly flared pair of jeans are my favorite style of jeans. Some jeans have an extremely large, oversized flare, but I prefer the smaller, more subtle version. Maybe I am showing my age. 🤷♀️ The great thing about fashion is that you get to choose what you like and wear what you want.
The Best of the Trending Jeans This Winter – Grey Jeans
As I mentioned above, grey jeans are definitely on trend this fall/winter. This pair from Dillard’s is for my petite gurls. If you click the link, it will take you straight to the petite sizes. Don’t worry, of course they are available in misses and plus sizes.
This combines two of the trends into one great pair of jeans. I love the dove grey color, and the length of the straight leg. These are from Lee which is known for making affordable jeans. I know some of you can’t get behind the high rise so you’ll be happy to know that these are midrise. If you don’t love the grey, no worries. They come in several other colors and washes.
And finally, a nice mid-rise flare in grey. These are also by Lee, which means they are an affordable option. I’ve mentioned before that flare jeans are great for making the leg look slimmer. There’s something about the way they hug the leg, and then flare out that makes for a pretty silhouette. Wear them with a heel to elongate the leg even more.
What about it, Gurls? What’s your favorite trending jean?

Since they come in short lengths I’m going to try the patch pocket jeans!! That’s been the hardest part of the flare and wide leg trends is not a lot of brands I can afford come in short length. I’m excited and it’s a great sale right now too!
I like a dark wash finished hem in my jeans. I did like some of the choices.
I really like the sweater vest with the denim shirt. I will be ordered that vest. I already have the shirt. 🙂 Great post on the jeans too.
I like bootleg or small flare, wide leg, and straight leg jeans. They’re all in my closet. I even bought the small patch pockets ones from Loft. I’m glad there’s a variety. I noticed there’s a lot of mid rise jeans now. Bummer for me because high waisted works for my body type. For years you couldn’t find any. I hope they continue making different waist options.
I like a slightly wide-leg pant, but my 80’s self can’t get on board with the 70’s super high waist and bell bottom thing very much. HA! And the super wide leg pants make me think of the skater boi look. I love a raw hem, but the ones with strings hanging off look like the pants I tried to fray myself. Eek. Some GREAT options in this post though, but I’m not trendy enough to try them all.
I’m not a huge fan of the super wide pants, but I like a moderate wide look.
Really like the high rise trouser jeans. I already bought the top so might buy them and the jacket now.
All these picks look great on you.
The patch pocket jeans may take some getting use to. I love the dark gray & the straight jeans. So far I’m not loving the wide leg jeans but those white ones look fabulous on you!
The straight legs are nice. But the frayed hem are not for me. Same for holes. I guess my age is showing! But great ideas to share.
Great jean selection!!
I’m also such a denim girl, Tania! I love the wide legs and the flares and a big yes on frayed hems and my new grey jeans are getting a lot of wear. But I feel blah and rather frumpy in straight legs. Thanks for such a great post!
