In this new feature we will be investigating the latest denim trends, and what you should be presenting to your customers.
enim trends come and go and keeping up with them can be quite difficult. Finding fits and silhouettes that flatter
can be difficult but according to Vogue, these are the trends that were appearing on the catwalks: Khaite Spring/Summer 2026 showed classic straight-legged jeans in an medium-dark indigo wash, while Dior wowed in a chic thigh-grazing denim miniskirt, along with Loewe highlighting the relaxed and slouchy denim jacket fit. But navigating what luxury designer brands
are doing can be difficult, this denim guide will aim to break down what is ‘chic’ and ‘trendy’ for your customers.
The humble jean The jean is in everyone’s wardrobe, whether that be a cropped fit, wide-leg, skinny or straight fit, everyone has their own unique take when it comes to jeans. A 2026 favourite is the straight-leg jean, with
its versatility to go from a relaxed t-shirt and trainers looks, to styling it up with a blazer and a pair of heels or boots. Its ability to be part of a ‘clean’ minimal look
is part of why it is so trendy this year, and why many will be after a pair.
