Here’s a look at the 5 main jeans styles of 2024 that are dominating retail shelves and street fashion. The straight Leg Jeans cut The straight-leg five-pocket jeans cut is a true staple. It always was and always will be. And they’re back stronger than before as this authentic cut becomes more favorite again amongst both genders. Both women and men are spotted with this jeans style that runs straight from the knee to the ankle. While women are wearing them a bit oversized and low on the hips, men prefer to wear them true to size. But this style is perfect to wear more shabby for men as well. Just size up one in the waist and you’re ready to go. Perfect to match with a pair of sneakers, sandals in Summer, or a leather footwear style. The wide-leg jeans style The wide-leg jeans style was a common and popular jeans fit during the 1990s. They were a very popular style in the hip-hop culture as well. Especially for women this is a favorite. Worn many times with a tighter and shorter top for a perfect balance between baggy and fitted. These jeans are worn a bit longer for an extra nonchalance look. They’re roomy and comfortable to wear. And as the fit is wide on the legs, they cover most of the shoes or sandals. Or heels in women’s case. Men are wearing these wide-leg cuts too, and mostly prefer lighter washes that link to the 1990s. Perfect to combine with a vintage college sweater or lumberjack flannel shirt. The carpenter jeans style The carpenter jeans style is part of the popular workwear movement. The same goes for cargo and combat pants. Worn by women and men in all kinds of colors, and different fabrics. The classic carpenter pants are relaxed and fitted with a straight leg. Originally, these types of pants were worn while doing a heavy job, so the fit is still intact. So the iconic features are the hammer loop, large pockets on the front and the back, but also triple stitching details for extra strength. This jeans cut is a good companion with combat boots or any other military-inspired footwear styles. It gives it a rugged look. In the Summer you can wear them with a rolled-up hem, while in the Winter you can easily wear them with just a single cuff. The boot-cut jeans The Western look is more popular than ever, with cowboy influences making a strong impact across many brands, including in denim. It’s a trend that’s truly dominating. Boot cut and flare jeans, which carry that iconic 1970s vibe, have been updated with modern fabrics. While rigid denim remains a staple, more comfortable options with a slight stretch are also available. The boot cut style offers a touch of retro elegance and pairs perfectly with leather cowboy boots for that classic Western aesthetic. The boot cut can be worn fitted at the waist, but some prefer to have a bit more room feeling and wear it with a leather cowboy belt. The patchwork jeans styles Patchwork jeans have been gaining popularity over the past few years, and are now poised to reach a broader audience. They embody the DIY mindset, where worn-out jeans are revived for a second or even third life. This trend is also seen in denim shirts and jackets, but since jeans tend to wear out faster, patchwork is more common on them. The roots of patchwork can be traced to vintage French workwear and traditional Japanese clothing. The technique is inspired by Sashiko stitching and Boro styles from Japan. Sashiko emphasizes decorative stitching, while Boro focuses on layering fabrics, creating a one-of-a-kind look. Using different colors and fabrics to achieve a color-blocked effect gives patchwork jeans an even more unique, artistic appearance. Patchworks can be added to all types of jeans in the end. Some add these to uplift the image of the jeans while others necessarily add patches to keep the jeans alive forever.
