While skinny jeans will never actually be out of style, there is a range of fresh, non-skinny silhouettes that continue to rise in popularity. Yep, we’re talking about styles like flared denim but also a recent favorite in the fashion-and-celeb world: full-length denim. This cut has a straight fit, typically comes in a lighter wash, and bunches just slightly on top of the shoes. You may remember Hailey Bieber’s ensemble featuring the Khaite full-length jeans.
Sure, this silhouette is a far cry from the cropped skinny and straight-leg jeans that we’ve been wearing over the last few seasons, but this is one denim style that will add a fashion-forward spin to any outfit in the 2020s. We bet the chicest people out there will give these jeans a whirl with pointed ankle boots now or low-heeled strappy sandals when the temperatures start to warm up. To highlight this must-try denim trend further, we rounded up how fashion people are wearing full-length jeans now and how they turned up on the runways. Keep scrolling for more and to shop a few pairs as well.
