The changing season ignites a healthy urge to find newness in our wardrobes again. For many, this means refreshing the essentials: stocking up on your favorite T-shirts, perhaps trading in a few sweaters for a fresher batch, or replenishing your denim with styles that feel more current. Luckily, the fall/winter 2026 runways provided plenty of denim trends to play with this year.
Whether it’s dark inky indigo, slim silhouettes, or the seemingly ever-present slouchy jean, there’s something for every taste. And though designers have given us quite the feast of fresh and exciting styles, the preeminent question remains: How do you actually wear them?
Below, you'll find seven of the season’s trending denim styles and how to style each of them.
Double Up on Dark Indigo
For fall, one of the more novel choices made by designers was opting for dark, inky indigo-hued jeans that will surely add some variety to your current denim rotation. To lean into the polished nature of this darker wash, go for a sleek denim-on-denim look. Add subtle Western flair with low-heeled booties and hammered gold-tone earrings and finish with a sophisticated oversized cashmere peacoat.
