Every wardrobe needs a fine selection of jeans for day and night—it’s no secret that jeans are the building blocks of a well-crafted closet. It’s almost a science, getting the fit and colour just right. And this Summer, a specific set of trends have emerged that deserve a spot in your style arsenal.

The Summer of ’24 shines the spotlight on three key styles, all available at Levi’s. You’ll notice a distinct nod to vintage-inspired fits and high-waist iterations, but Levi’s form-flattering jeans certainly deserve a special mention for their ability to make legs appear longer (and the butt look perkier!). Behold, the denim trends you need to know about right now…

FLARE!

The ’70s-inspired Flared jeans by Levi's are a resounding fit that marry comfort with style.

The ’70s called, and they are bringing back flared fits—so groovy, baby! This retro silhouette is reminiscent of the bohemian life, and does an incredible job of balancing the body’s silhouette. Incredibly versatile, flared jeans can be dressed up or down. For instance, throw on a structured blazer for an office or meeting-appropriate look. Or team a pair with a sexy bodysuit so your outfit is snatched on top, almost resembling the coveted hourglass. 

This season’s flared-jeans trend comes in various iterations, all from Levi’s. Pick from four cult favourites, below:  

1. The Noughties Boot: Low-rise, bootcut jeans with eye-catching details like chunky stitching and a noughties-inspired flap pocket design.

2. The Ribcage Cropped Boot: Extra-high rise, inspired by a pair of ’90s-era vintage 501® Originals.

3. Ribcage Bell: Levi’s highest high-rise yet, with a whopping 12-inch rise, plus waist-defining, leg-lengthening, ultra-flattering details.

4. Ribcage Wide Leg: A cult favourite for a reason, this wide-leg cut features a super-high rise, fitted seat and slim leg.

the Levi’s® ribcage wide-leg style comes with a super high rise, fitted seat,
and slim leg from thigh to knee for maximum comfort.

LOOSE!

Loose Jeans have made a major comeback, as a welcome fit.

If comfort and effortless style are your go-to, rejoice! Because Summer 2024 is favouring relaxed fits with wide legs. Trend analytics state that Gen-Z, in particular, favour oversized fits (likely because of the world’s previous obsession with skinny jeans). To find your perfect pair of loose jeans, pick from three Levi’s® sub styles…

1. Low Loose: Levi’s ultra-flattering Low Loose jeans are a throwback to the Y2K style, and feature a wide, straight leg. Perfect for every day.

2. High Loose: Want legs for days? Say hello to Levi’s High Loose jeans with a wide leg, a flattering high rise, and a vintage-inspired fit.

3. 94’ Baggy: The ’90s are coming over with the Levi’s ’94 Baggy Wide Leg featuring a loose, mid rise with a roomy hem.

The Levi’s® High Loose jeans with a wide leg is ultra-flattering for a long and lean shape.

STRAIGHT! 

The straight fit is just right—not too tight or too loose.

The Goldilocks of the denim world, straight jeans aren’t too loose or too tight—they are just right. Given how versatile this silhouette is, we would go as far as saying that every wardrobe deserves at least one pair of easy-going, timeless style. Incorporate a pair of straight jeans into your Spring wardrobe by taking your pick from the following, timeless styles from Levi’s:

1. Wedgie Straight: Featuring a special construction, this snug, vintage style gives the derrière some extra lift.

2. The Ribcage Straight: This wait-defining, hip-slimming, and leg-lengthening is perfect for those who love to embrace their curves.

3. 80’s Mom: Mom jeans are back (and still iconic!). An elevated take on the timeless style, Levi’s laid-back pair is fitted with a high rise that’s more relaxed through the thigh and calf, and tapers at the ankle.
