The new year means fresh new trends. And while we've already put together the 21 spring/summer 2023 trends worth knowing about, there are some trends that are flying a little more under-the-radar. Denim is timeless, but that doesn't mean there aren't certain styles that are dominating more than others this season. Giving your jean collection a refresh is an easy way to give your outfits a lift and who better to pave the way for the denim cuts, colours and styles to look out for than some of our favourite celebrities?
Let's deep dive into the 2023 jean trends celebs are backing then, shall we? First we have Bella Hadid, who is backing 90s grey wide-leg jeans, then Zoë Kravitz who is sticking to classic straight leg pairs and finally Hailey Bieber, who has just been spotted in the jeans everyone will be wearing next year. Add to this the French-girl-approved denim style which has also been worn by J Lo, along with the coolest jean favoured by the likes of Tracee Ellis Ross, and you get the five jeans trends to try out in 2023.
Scroll on to discover the celebrity jean trends that will dominate in 2023, as well as my favourite styles to buy now.
1. Grey wide-Leg
Style Notes: We haven't seen grey jeans doing the rounds for a while, but Bella Hadid is bringing them back. And who are we to argue? To achieve the cool-girl vibe, it's all about slouchy wide-leg pairs with a 90s-style high-waist.
Shop the trend:
Trust us, jeans from & Other Stories are top tier on the high street.
Guaranteed to achieve that 90s fit.
We love the pleating on this pair.
Low-rise fans, these are for you.
2. Cargo
Style Notes: Cargo pants in general have had a huge revival of late, so naturally jeans are getting added pockets, too. Hailey keeps hers casual with a knit and trainers combo, but they also work so well with a fancy top and pointed-toe heels.
Shop the trend:
Mother denim is just SO good.
The acid wash looks even more retro.
This dark indigo pair makes the cargo feel really grown up.
If you prefer a slimmer fit, this Mango pair is ideal.
3. Classic Straight-Leg
Style Notes: Proving you can't beat a classic, Zoë Kratitz looks effortless in blue straight-leg jeans. The universally flattering pair will never fail, no matter which season/year we're in.
Shop the trend:
They're called 'favourite' for a reason.
These are made to be slightly cropped so they'll work so well with trainers.
These are made from recycled materials.
Ecru jeans will work all year round.
4. Slim Flared
Style Notes: A celebrity in the fashion world, Jeanne Damas (founder of fashion label, Rouje) is the French-girl to follow. In a sleek pair of slim-leg flares, Jeanne keeps the look polished with a lace blouse and simple accessories.
Shop the trend:
Of course jeans from Jeanne Damas' brand, Rouje, are firmly on the wish list.
Such a good fit.
The most leg-lengthening style around.
Low-rise pairs feel very Y2K.
5. Baggy
Style Notes: We can always rely on icon Tracee Ellis Ross to deliver some style inspiration. This time, we're taking tips from her denim wardrobe with these super baggy jeans. You can always size up in a wide-leg pair to get that loose-fit look.
Shop the trend:
These have the desired baggy bottoms.
The front seam makes this high street pair look so expensive.
The high waist is very flattering.
If you don't want to embrace the big baggy pairs, this style is just slightly slouchy.
