If you had to name the most worn pieces in your everyday wardrobe, there’s a strong chance that a pair of jeans would rank high on your list. That trusty pair just always works. While you may have a specific style you deem a staple, a few silhouettes have become increasingly popular over the last few seasons. And yes, we have expert intel on the standouts.
Grace Na is the founder and creative director of celeb- and editor-favorite label Pistola. So, yes, the term “denim expert” certainly seems appropriate here. She believes four specific denim styles are the most popular right now based on what her customers are gravitating toward and what she sees in the marketplace. Given the appeal and the fact that she does not see a cool-off for the trends in question, Na believes these four selects will be front-runners in the denim space in 2025 as well.
Keep scrolling to check out the best denim trends, along with visual inspiration from Na. There are also shopping recommendations for each trend if you want to try a new pair of trusty jeans.

Slim-Straight Jeans
"A slim-straight ankle fit has been picking up with the prevalence of the loafer trend, and because women still want a slimmer bottom option to pair back with larger tops." — Na

Wide-Leg Jeans
"On the other end of the spectrum, wide legs and quiet-luxury tops and sweaters make you feel less stuffy and more effortless." — Na

White Jeans
"White denim in 2024 is selling all the way through fall and holiday and is no longer just a spring/summer color offering. We’re going to see white be a huge part of the assortment for fall and holiday as winter white and winter prep dressing is becoming popular." — Na
