Barrel Leg

Barrel-legged jeans are a stylish variation of wide-legged ones that have gained popularity this season. These spring jeans style boast a unique and exciting silhouette that sets them apart from other denim styles. Typically high-waisted, barrel-legged jeans are known and loved for their extremely tapered legs, which create a flattering and sleek look. The slim ankle and voluminous knee work together to create the ideal combination of a laid-back vibe with a sophisticated design. This style of jeans is perfect for those who want to add some variety to their denim collection and stand out from the crowd. With their eye-catching design and comfortable fit, barrel-legged jeans are a must-have for fashion-forward individuals who want to stay on-trend. Agolde’s Broken waistband jeans, for example, mix a barrel leg and a broken waistband, creating a contemporary design that can elevate any outfit.

Cargo

Cargo pants were originally designed as sturdy workwear for military personnel, so the main purpose of these pants was to provide comfort and durability during rough work and outdoor activities. Therefore, they featured abundant pockets, which were specifically designed to hold tools. These large pockets were typically located on the sides of the pants and sometimes on the thighs and even ankles. In recent years, cargo pants have undergone a transformation, with designers incorporating them into mainstream fashion. Although the original utility purpose of the pockets remains, cargo jeans have gained a new appeal due to their aesthetic allure. The large pockets on cargo pants are now seen as a desirable feature, offering functionality and style. Cargo jeans have become popular this season as they maintain the rugged and practical nature of traditional cargo pants while incorporating modern design elements, like in the Wide-leg cargo jeans MINKA from Agolde.

Turned-up Cuffs

In the unpredictable fashion world, what was once considered a fashion faux pas can easily become the latest style statement. This is the case with turned-up or untucked cuffs, which were once a sign of sloppy dressing. However, this year, the wider and more distinguished your cuff is, the more stylish it will look. This trend has gained momentum, and now this style is seen as a fashion-forward choice. This design works particularly well with wide-legged pants — the wide cuffs add volume and shape to the bottom, keeping it chic. The beauty of this tendency is its versatility. It's perfect for a lazy weekend brunch with friends, a day at the office, or even a night out on the town. So, if you're looking to add some style to your wardrobe, consider trying out the Relaxed baggy jeans Ayla from the new collection of Citizens of Humanity. Featuring a wide leg and enough length to make a proper wide cuff, this pair will be a fresh addition to your spring closet.

Denim Skirts 

Mini, midi, or maxi? They all work if they are denim! Denim skirts are on fire, specifically versatile midis and luxurious maxis. They can be dressed up with a crisp shirt and a blazer for a polished appeal, or they may also be dressed down with a polo tee and a pair of trustworthy sneakers. Regardless of your choice, they will look suitable and stylish, so don’t hesitate to experiment with designs. By the way, about the designs — we’ve found a really special one in the new collection of Tiger of Sweden — the Front-slit denim skirt Tillis. It is a skirt-transformer that can be both maxi and mini due to the adjustable hem, which can be buttoned to the waist. Its futuristic silhouette is made to stun, and we are truly stunned by this fashion-forward solution.

Denim Shorts

To be honest, denim shorts have never come off the fashion scene. They simply change designs and washes but continue to appear here and there in spring/summer collections. As to current denim trends 2024, we can highlight two significant ones — extremely short shorts, almost underwear-like, and baggy bermuda-style shorts. Short shorts, like the Denim shorts Parker from Agolde, are a good option for hot summer days, walks along the beach, and, of course, vacations. As to the baggy ones, like the Relaxed-fit shorts Ayla from Citizens of Humanity, they are more versatile and can even be dressed up for an evening out. They offer a more relaxed and comfortable fit, making them perfect for running errands or hanging out with friends. They can be paired with a simple t-shirt for a casual look or dressed up with a blouse and heels for a more polished appearance. Both of these trends offer unique and stylish options for denim shorts, and it's up to you to decide which one suits your personal style.

Denim on Denim

One of the biggest trends of this spring/summer 2024 season, denim on denim, has made a lot of noise on the multiple runways. The most prominent brands displayed numerous combinations — some of them created bold contemporary looks by using weird shapes and ripped fabrics, while others made a mix of timeless classic pieces and showcased how elegant denim fashion can become. As an example of such a sophisticated mix, we’ve combined the Fitted denim jacket from House of Dagmar with the Denim maxi skirt Hilla from Agolde. The feminine cinched silhouette of the jacket complements perfectly with the classy straight maxi. However, you may approach this trend in a more casual way.

Laid-back yet stylish, this look is easy to create and essential to have.

Dark Washes

All washes are trendy, but some are trendier than others. Amongst all, dark washes have their own charm; from dark indigo to pitch black, they never go out of style. Not only do they look classy, but they also make our morning dressing-ups faster, as it is much easier to match dark jeans with a tee or a shirt and look polished. The best part is that different designs, rises, and fits ensure you will find a pair in a dark wash to suit your style, be it a straight, slim, skinny, or relaxed fit. The versatility of dark-wash jeans is unmatched, making them a must-have in every wardrobe. So, if you want to keep your style game on point, don't forget to add a pair of dark wash jeans to your collection. Our choice of such a pair is Agolde’s Criss cross upsized jeans from the new collection. Featuring a relaxed leg and a criss-cross waistline design, this pair seamlessly blends modern appeal with a laid-back attitude.

Gray Denim

In addition to the classic and timeless appeal of dark wash denim, gray denim is also gaining significant attention and recognition in the fashion world. This versatile and stylish fabric was showcased in various designs, ranging from jeans to jackets to skirts, and was rightfully presented by numerous luxurious fashion houses. The subtle and neutral tone of gray denim gives it a fresh and modern look, making it a perfect base for a wide range of outfits. Whether you're going for a casual look or a more refined one, gray denim is a great choice to elevate your style game to the next level. With their understated yet stylish appearance, gray pieces are undoubtedly a must-have in any fashion-forward person's wardrobe. If you opt for a polished look, try the Relaxed baggy jeans Ayla from Citizens of Humanity. This wide-legged pair allows one to make wide turned-up cuffs or wear it full-length. For a more laid-back vibe, you may try the Rolled relaxed jeans Dylan featuring a tapered cuffed leg and a subtle distressing.

White Jeans

White is the color of this spring, and denim also plays a part in this story. White and ecru jeans are likely to be seen in the latest collections of fashion brands, not just jeans. Jackets, shorts, and skirts are getting lighter hues to match the current trend. The crisp and clean look of white is perfect for the warmer weather, and it pairs beautifully with refined shirts and tees for a classic and timeless ensemble. Whether you're dressing up or down, incorporating white denim into your wardrobe this season is a good idea. The cropped Wide straight jeans Florence from Citizens of Humanity are a versatile white piece that can be mixed with sharp blazers for a polished look or with a simple T-shirt to hit the max comfort and ease.
