A good pair of jeans can help you unlock endless outfit potential. Versatile and undeniably timeless, we reckon they’re one of, if not the, hardest working item in your wardrobe. And although they’re undoubtedly a year-round staple, we believe that jeans come into their own in the autumn months, presenting a cosy but cool item you can throw on wherever you might be going and with just about anything you own.
Though certain jean styles are proven to have longer life spans than others (straight-legs continue to dominate the fashion agenda), 2021 has served up more throwback jean trends any year previous—reminding us that we can (and should) have some fun with our denim. Handily, we know just the place to get your new-season jean fix.
Hollister is a brand that’s been edging onto our radar over the past few seasons. Though it’s always been a place to invest in preppy staples such as plaid shirts, pleated skirts, and collegiate knitwear, the American label has been seriously trending of late. Leading the ’90s and Y2K style charge with its endless array of preppy but stylish wares, we keep seeing fashion types wearing its pieces on our feeds. And for autumn, Hollister has created jeans that tick off every major trend going. With extended sizes available in a variety of its fits (keep an eye out for its Curvy edit), we felt it was only right to share them with you.
Loose-fitting jeans have been a major player this year, with their popularity continuing to soar into the autumn months. It’ll please you to know, then, that Hollister has already mastered the art of wider-stride denim. We’ve also seen the return of ripped jeans, though, instead of looking as if you’ve been mauled by a jungle cat, Hollister’s tears are strategically positioned and deliberately streamline to ensure your look remains chic, not chaotic. And finally, flares have also received a fashion homecoming over the last few months, with designers including Dior and Celine adding the retro silhouette to their autumn/winter 2021 collections. That said, you needn’t have a designer budget to get a slice of the ’70s action—Hollister has the perfect flares ready and waiting.
Here, we’ve worked out precisely how we want to wear each of Hollister’s on-trend jeans this autumn. Using our favourite buys from its new collection, scroll on to see the four jean outfits we’ll be living in for the foreseeable.
