Denim jeans are moving toward looser shapes and softer fabrics. Learn where this can take your wardrobe this season in this advertising feature from LEVI’S. 

Jeans are the one piece in your wardrobe that doesn’t need overthinking. They’re durable, easy to style, and never go out of season.

Right now, denim is moving toward looser shapes and softer fabrics. Fits are easier, more relaxed, and built to feel good from the first wear across women’s and men’s jeans.

Here’s a closer look at the styles everyone’s wearing and how to make them work for your wardrobe.

Baggy wide-leg jeans

There’s a reason wide-leg fits in women’s jeans are everywhere right now. They offer comfort without feeling too relaxed and look intentional when styled well. 

To balance the volume, go for a tucked-in tee or a structured top that defines your shape. Add a cropped denim jacket or blazer to pull the outfit together while keeping it practical for everyday wear.

Relaxed straight jeans

If you want a pair that’s easy to wear but still looks put-together, opt for a relaxed straight fit. The waist sits comfortably, the leg falls clean, and the shape gives just enough room to move. It’s a style you can put on with little thought and still feel ready for the day.

The Levi’s® 501® jeans offer a mid-rise with a soft, loose leg. They’re cut for a vintage feel but made to fit comfortably right off the rack. Pair them with a chunky knit or a crisp button-down for a simple look. Finish with loafers or boots for structure, or keep it relaxed with trainers.

Dark-wash jeans

There’s a reason darker denim is a staple in so many wardrobes. The colour naturally makes an outfit feel more intentional without needing to dress up. 

For casual days, pair dark jeans with a men’s tee in grey or navy and layer with an overshirt or jacket. This keeps the base simple but gives you room to adjust depending on the weather. 

Women’s jeans in this wash pair well with light-coloured basics. Choose a short denim jacket for contrast. You can finish the look with low heels and a simple shoulder bag, or keep it casual with slides.

Bootcut slim jeans

If you like your denim with a bit of shape but not too much flare, bootcut slim jeans are worth adding to your weekly rotation. They sit close around the hips and thighs, so they’re easy to wear under coats and slightly longer tops.

For styling, pair these jeans with a women’s top that doesn’t add too much volume, like a slim-cut shirt. Layer with a blazer or jacket, and complete the look with boots with a slight heel to show off the shape of the leg.

Build your denim rotation

This season’s denim is all about shape, comfort, and low-effort styling. From wide-leg to bootcut slim, the most-worn fits are easy to style and work across different wardrobes. Once you find the cut that suits your day-to-day, you can build around layers, textures, and practical pieces that make the look your own.
