Classic Denim Pants That Are Always On-Trend
We don’t know about you, but we’re always scrolling TikTok looking for new styles and affordable outfits. One thing we love seeing is how influencers style different jeans. With the beloved denim staple always in rotation in our closet, we love experimenting and creating fresh looks with our favorite jeans.
There are countless styles and washes to choose from that fit perfectly into any wardrobe. With the help of social media, various types of denim from all different eras are beginning to resurface and give us some major inspo! There is a fit and wash of jeans for everyone’s style and taste. When you’re looking to add a little variety to your denim collection, Cider has everything you need, no matter the occasion or the vibe you are going for.
Check out our favorite denim looks that never go out of style:
Wide-Leg For The Win
Wide-leg denim can be dressed up or down, perfect for taking you from the office to your weekend outings. This flattering style creates a beautiful silhouette at the waist.
One example of a flattering pair is wide-leg trousers with fun pockets and wavy seam detailing going down the legs. When you have weekend plans, throw on a sweater crop top to look effortlessly cool and chic. We love getting more than one look from a single pair of jeans.
Patterns On Patterns
Patterned jeans make our hearts go pitter-patter. You’ll feel your heart skip a beat when you see a perfect pair of jeans with a heart pattern on them; we can already imagine all the adorable looks!
You can show off your edgy side when paired with chunky biker boots. If you aren’t into the grungy look, opt for pairing your jeans with a cute lace top. Did someone say cottagecore?!
A Retro Flare Moment
With retro-inspired fits back and better than ever, flared denim is having a moment! Millennials remember the flare trend a little differently, with most styles sporting the low-rise look. We thank them profusely as they paved the way back to flare jeans, now with a higher waist.
A prime example of flattering flares is ripped ones. We absolutely love them in a lighter wash with trendy distressed details. If you find a pair with a higher waist, they’ll fit flawlessly and always go well with crop tops. Just because flares are a retro style, it doesn’t mean that you always have to pair them with other retro tops or accessories. Bring a hot take on flares by pairing with a top with puffy sleeves, or a sleek bodysuit.
The Everyday Straight-Leg
Skinny jeans walked so that straight-leg jeans could run.
While the fitted waist of skinny jeans feels like a nice hug, that snug feeling all the way to your ankles may not be the fit you’re looking for. Straight-leg jeans have that fitted feeling in the waist but loosen up as they get to the ankles.
Since the rise of working and studying from home in 2020, we got used to wearing sweats and joggers. Now that we’re starting to leave home more, we’re still holding onto that comfort factor! Straight-leg jeans are the solution to getting back into the habit of wearing “real” pants, while still staying comfortable.
This style is super flattering and works well with a range of shoe types. Sandals, sneakers, heels, chunky boots; you name the shoe and you can find a stylish outfit featuring straight-leg jeans.
When adding a pair to your closet, you may be asking yourself how to style this cut of jeans. Well, you can pair this established item with other classic pieces, like a blazer or ballet flats. Adding stylish pieces is easy, as straight-leg jeans pair nicely with crop tops. The relaxed bottoms complement nicely with a crop top, without showing too much skin since they are high-waisted.
Once you see how easy it is to style straight-leg jeans, you’ll be rushing to fill your cart with more pairs.
Hear Us Out: Skinny Jeans!
While word on the street is that Gen Z has canceled the skinny jean, we still have to keep at least a couple pairs of the wardrobe staple. While we love all the different denim trends, sometimes a classic pair of skinny jeans is just what your outfit needs.
This is especially true when you want to show off a new pair of boots. We have to admit it’s pretty hard trying to stuff wide-leg jeans into a boot, but skinnies are a tried and true option when you want to zip a boot up over your pants.
Patchwork Jeans Because Why Not
If you’re a quilt lover, you’ll absolutely love patchwork denim. With various washes fused together into one jean, you’ll get the best of every wash in the denim world. Try and find a pair with unique washes and extra details, like a flipped waist or flared bottoms.
Pair this style of denim with a simple top and a blazer to make your jeans the star of the show. While patchwork gives an artsy and creative vibe, pairing with a simple top and blazer helps to balance out the look. A plain crop top also gives the flipped waist detail its well-deserved moment.
Another fun pair of patchwork jeans are those with color-blocking patches. We love color blocking, and the two-tone wash on the jeans is perfect for pairing with a fun, quirky crop top.
Different Washes of Denim
Denim has that special ability to change the vibe of a look solely on its color. You can have the same exact pair of jeans, just in other washes, and wear them for various occasions and with different tops.
Darker washes are more sophisticated and can even pass as work wear with the right top and accessories. We love a faded wash too, which doesn’t compete with bold colors. When wearing a faded wash, feel free to play it up on top and wear your boldest top.
Blue isn’t the only color reserved for jeans either! The world of colored jeans gives you so many options when you want to change things up. If you aren’t ready to jump into full-colored jeans, opt for a pair that has a touch of color, like pink jeans.
If you love color, you’ll absolutely live for gradient jeans. These jeans would be perfect for a concert with a band tee because the distressed colors fade into each other and look so cool. While jeans are an easy choice due to their durability, having a pair in a unique wash from everyone else will have you standing out from the crowd.
Cider Always Keeps You On Trend
Jeans are a popular basic that goes through their own overhaul every decade or so. While social media helps keep you in style, knowing that your favorite clothing website also keeps an eye on the trends makes shopping even easier.
