The 2025 Denim Trends You Need to Try

Denim trends are constantly evolving, and 2025 is bringing fresh updates that are both stylish and easy to incorporate into your wardrobe. Wide-leg jeans remain a staple, whether worn plain, cuffed, or with sculpted barrel-leg seams. Meanwhile, all-denim looks are gaining momentum, proving that you can never have too much denim.

 And if you want to stay ahead of the curve, keep an eye on cuffed jeans—after making waves in street style during fashion month, they’re quickly becoming a must-have.

From head-to-toe denim to the return of oversized jorts, these are Heist’s top spring 2025 denim trends you’ll want to wear everywhere. And to make styling effortless, we’ve included tips on how to work them into your existing wardrobe.

1. Barrel Jeans

Barrel jeans may seem tricky to pull off, but when styled right, they bring an editorial edge to any outfit. Their curved, wide-leg silhouette makes even the simplest wardrobe staples—like white tees, bomber jackets, or lightweight cardigans—look instantly elevated. This category also includes balloon jeans, horseshoe jeans, and other curved-leg styles with the same voluminous effect. To balance their bold shape, opt for fitted tops and streamlined accessories. Try our  Free People Mid-Rise. 

2. Denim on Denim

One of the most effortless ways to wear denim this year is to go all in. All-denim outfits dominated fashion month, with brands like Ralph Lauren, Ganni, and Marimekko showcasing head-to-toe denim ensembles that proved how versatile the fabric can be. The key to nailing the look is either investing in a matching denim set or mixing and matching pieces from your own closet. Just don’t forget the accessories—adding a structured bag, necktie, or leather belt gives the look a more polished, lived-in feel.

3. Wide-Leg Jeans

If you’ve managed to resist wide-leg jeans up until now, it’s time to reconsider. Labels like Bottega Veneta and Stella McCartney have made it clear: This silhouette isn’t going anywhere. The secret to styling them? Keep it simple. A more fitted top balances out the volume, while an oversized layer—like a blazer or trench—adds dimension when needed. Whether you prefer a classic blue wash or something bolder, there’s a pair for every style and budget.

4. Cuffed Hems

During fashion month, a standout styling trick kept appearing on some of the most fashion-forward guests: thick, single-fold cuffs. On structured denim, this simple adjustment creates a laid-back yet sophisticated effect that’s incredibly easy to recreate. Just take any pair of slightly-too-long jeans, give them a single roll, and wear them as you normally would. And if you prefer a permanent version, we carry Mavi’s Savannah pre-cuffed options. (I personally grabbed a pair, and they’ve already become my most complimented jeans!)

5. Long Jorts

Oversized jorts made a splash last summer, and they’re set to take over 2025 in an even bigger way. When the Copenhagen street-style crowd embraces a trend, you know it’s only a matter of time before it goes global. These knee-grazing shorts function similarly to midi skirts, offering movement and coverage while maintaining a cool, effortless vibe. To style them, pair with an oversized leather jacket and loafers for a laid-back look, or go all out with a trench coat and knee-high boots that just skim the hemline—perfection.
