No closet is complete without a pair of trendy jeans. In fact, denim is one of the foundations of a good wardrobe — no matter where you go. On every street corner in New York, in a rainy park in London, under the golden sun of Milan, denim is everywhere. Of course, the silhouette makes all the difference. Perhaps you find yourself leaning towards the classic straight legs and flared hems. Or maybe, you prefer to be a little more adventurous, experimenting with voluminous wide leg shapes or even the controversial Y2K puddle jean silhouette. Whatever your taste, this autumn has a jean trend for you.

Barrel jeans

The barrel cut seems to be designed for those who are not afraid of a little volume. Rounded, with curves that defy logic, barrel jeans add a little something extra to the silhouette without being too out there. They offer a sort of architectural integrity to a look, making them perfect for playing with proportions. Try pairing them with a tight T-shirt and almond-shaped ballerinas for a high-precision structural moment. Add a pair of barrel jeans to your wardrobe for days when you crave a little geometric rebellion.

Wide leg jeans

The wide leg jean feels like a deep, slow breath in the midst of urban chaos. Their flowing draped silhouette adds a little theatrical movement and flow as you walk. Width can be synonymous with power, especially when paired with minimalist tops or structured jackets that enhance the sense of verticality. These jeans are pure fabric poetry, designed for those who seek to make an impact without a single word.

Straight jeans

The straight jean is diplomacy in denim form: balanced, timeless, always ready to save any stylistic dilemma. These are your go-to, no-nonsense jeans. Pair them with leather loafers, white sneakers or urban boots. Perfectly neutral, straight leg jeans feel almost invisible – but also, utterly essential.

Baggy jeans

Baggy jeans will bring an echo of the nineties to any look. They mix nostalgia with a modern twist. In Milan and New York they can often be spotted combined with minimal belts and strategic tops. Try mixing the extravagance of a baggy jean with a touch of minimalism. These are jeans that impose without asking permission, ideal for those who walk with conviction.

Flared jeans

Flared jeans serve up pure seventies vibes in the best way. This silhouette is flattering and effortlessly dramatic. Here in London, the girls are pairing them with block-heeled boots, printed shirts and long coats that amplify the theatricality of the shape.

Carpenter jeans

Carpenters are a reminder that functionality can also be fashion. With extra pockets and a utilitarian air, carpenter jeans offer both practicality and individuality. Combine them with oversized jackets or graphic T-shirts to give an air of creative confidence.

Puddle jeans

Prepare for a throwback. Puddles are all about excess. They are long to the point of absurdity, trailing with calculated theatricality. Who cares about keeping your jeans clean? The fashion girls are above it. They work well with bulky sneakers, sharp booties or even sandals, always delivering that care-free vibe. They are the ultimate expression of everyday drama.
