Without question or competition, big, baggy jeans are the defining denim trend of the 2020s; In future history books, the age of TikTok ‘fit checks and fashion Substackers will be remembered as when women wore wide-leg jeans so loose they blew in the breeze. The slouchy style continues its reign as one of fall 2025’s top denim trends, done low-rise at Stella McCartney and in dark indigo washes at Louis Vuitton. But an assortment of slimmer, straighter jeans also walked down Fall 2025’s runways and signaled that a potential denim vibe shift could be in the works.
Prada showed straight-leg jeans in weathered vintage washes, while Khaite’s were deep, dark blue and tucked into luxe leather thigh-high boots. Chloé doubled down on the boho fashion revival it initiated last fall with fit-and-flare denim; around the show’s midway point, creative director Chemena Kamali sent out split-hem boot-cut jeans styled with lacy camisoles and floor-length maxi coats, an instant contender for the It girl uniform of the season.
Keep scrolling to take a closer look at the denim trending this fall, ranging from slim and skinny to super-sized, baggy jeans. Plus, tips and insight into how to style each silhouette this autumn.

If you’ve been waiting with bated breath for the downturn of the baggy denim boom, the straight-leg jeans seen across the Fall 2025 runways, from Prada in Paris to Sportmax in Milan, is cause for celebration. At both Isabel Marant and Khaite, slimmer-fitting denim was tucked into tall black boots (coincidentally, also a top fall 2025 shoe trend), a worthwhile outfit option with a very classic autumn feel. Otherwise, consider how Prada, Sportmax, and Diesel paired their boyfriend jeans with quirky tunics and strapless tops.

Split hems gave denim a more interesting, unexpected, and peek-a-boo edge this season. Tory Burch and Chloé are the top pioneers of the trend, but each showed different options on styling the slitted silhouetted; Tory Burch went in a more preppy direction with button-down shirts and sweater vests, while Chloé’s lace tanks and faux fur coats combos were capital-B Boho.

Those who are partial to oversized, loose denim aren’t without options this season. Bally, Coach, and Stella McCartney’s bold, baggy jeans look as comfortable as your favorite pair of sized-up sweatpants, whereas Versace’s are less of a large and in charge statement. Consider taking a cue from Gen Z with their “big pant, little shirt” styling ethos when trying the trend—Bally’s baby tee and Sandy Liang’s cropped cardigan are good references.
