It can be frustrating to say the least when you attempt one of the latest trends only to find that it simply doesn’t flatter you or give you the confidence that you hoped for. Such is the case with me this season and bootcut jeans. The classic denim style is back in the spotlight but I’m just not able to pull it off the way I’d like. Instead, I have my focus directed on three other denim trends that are equally as chic and cool.
For spring 2026, I’m outfit planning around straight-leg, relaxed, and cuffed jeans in a variety of denim washes. Each offers a different feel but pairs perfectly with a variety of basics and trendy pieces. Below, I rounded up personal favorites for each denim style and included some visual outfit inspiration as well. Keep scrolling to shop all 30 options. The styling possibilities are endless.
