Whether you’re a loyal skinny-jeans lover or a straight-leg convert, jeans are, for most of us, the lifeblood of our wardrobes. Able to be elevated with heels and a nice top or dressed down with a white tee and boots, they have got to be one of the most versatile and hardworking items we own. So really, finding the perfect pair should be at the top of your shopping priority list.
As it’s such a staple, we don’t like being too prescriptive about which styles you should buy. However, if you’re in the market for a new pair in 2020, there are certain fits that are sure to get you the nod of approval from fashion folks. At the top of the list has to be flared, the ‘70s staple that was all over the runways at fashion week. Leg-lengthening and personality-packed, they’re perfect for a more polished evening look.
There are also plenty of classics: Think black skinny jeans, which are ideal for tucking into boots; straight-leg jeans for ’80s-inspired appeal; and wide-leg denim. Scroll down to see and shop our full edit of 2020’s biggest denim trends.
