Demi-Denim: It's a skirt! It's a pair of jeans! No — it's demi-denim! That's right; you too can get your Priyanka Chopra on and enjoy the best of both denim worlds. Try your own pair of R13 Double Classic Distressed Crop Levi's Jeans ($695) on for size and get to strutting this oh-so-stylish (and extra durable) denim design.
Wide-Leg Jeans: These trendy '90s trousers just got a 2018 update, and we can't wait to pair them with our rockin' bodysuit and those Kanye-approved tiny sunglasses. Leave it to the folks at Reformation to bring us the Reformation Fawcett Jean ($128) in time for the most stylish spring yet.
The Canadian Tux: Cheers to our neighbors to the north who made wearing denim, on denim, on denim fashionably legit, eh?! Pair a Levi's NFL Varsity Trucker Jacket ($108) with your prized dungarees and ALL your other denim flair for head-to-toe, Rita Ora-inspired slayage.
Corset-Style Waist: Just to clarify, this is not an *actual* corset. We don't condone painful fashion, and that would def fall into that category. Instead, we're about to see the sleek and mod Sea Denim High Waisted Corset Pant ($368) on celebs galore and we will no doubt be following (denim) suit.
Duster Coats: Take it from stylish mommy-to-be Chrissy Teigen and rock your denim duster — like this Madewell Denim Duster Coat ($178) — with white sneaks *or* Chrissy-inspired thigh-high boots. H-A-W-T.
White (Yes, White): We're about to witness a resurgence in white denim — and not just between Memorial and Labor Days. We're talking year-round antique white, beige, bleached and perfectly pale pairs like the H&M Denim Culottes High Waist ($30).
Ruffles: We've seen frills all over the fashion world, but rocking denim ruffles is a brand new thang and the Rachel Comey Revel Pant ($375) is all kinds of perfect.
Embroidered Jeans: Yes, embellishment is back! So, whether it's simple pocket detailing or full-scale cuff art, denim flair is about to be everywhere (again). We're especially loving these cropped Tory Burch Embroidered Cuff Jeans ($419) with vivid diamond detailing.
Bell Leg: We are seriously feelin' these flares. Embrace your inner flower child and snag some Free People Just Float on Flares ($78) — the perfect pairing to your classic white tee.
Reformed Denim: Old school meets new when it comes to this V. trendy technique of repurposing vintage denim. Made from soft and broken-in fabric, modern styles like the VETEMENTS x Levi's Classic Reworked Denim ($1,470) offer an updated and Bella Hadid-approved twist on a classic.
Indigo Everything: We won't say acid wash is out, but dark denim is definitely IN, and the price is right on these ethically produced Everlane High-Rise Skinny Jeans ($68).
Straight Leg: Possibly the most iconic of cuts, this style has reigned supreme no matter the decade and has stayed on the scene even during the craziest jean trends (remember JNCO's?!). The dependable straight-and-narrow is the answer to every outfit, and if you're still on the hunt for the perf vintage blues, then you'll love the Gap Super High Rise Cone Denim Straight Jeans ($90).
Vintage-Inspired Trucker Jackets: Edgy and timeless, trucker jackets are the perfect go-to outerwear for any season. Slightly oversized, vintage styles accommodate cozy layers to carry you from winter to spring. Pair this Goldsign Morton Jacket ($525) with your denim of the moment for an effortlessly stylish #OOTD, every day.
