For a while, everyone invested in skinny jeans. The fact is, they are flattering, and they’re a silhouette that looks good on most body types. The flip side of that, however, is that skinny jeans are kind of boring these days.
If you want give your skinnies a rest and branch out to new denim styles, then you’re in the right place. In the fall and winter, there are lots of different trendy jeans to try. From wide-leg cuts to jeans with split hems, check out the five denim trends that need to be in your closet below.
1. Wide-Leg Jeans
It may seem counterintuitive, but wide-leg jeans are actually really flattering. Pair them with even modest heels, and they can make your legs look longer and slimmer.

2. Mom Fit Jeans
High-waist jeans have been popular for a while, but this season it’s all about “mom jeans.” The waist is slightly higher than a mid-rise, yet not exactly ribcage level, and the legs have a flattering straight cut. These jeans will look great with sneakers and Chelsea boots.
