The Anti-Skinny Jeans Trend People in Paris and New York Are Favoring for Fall

What's old is new again, right? With 2000s bohemia reviving itself, it shouldn't be all that surprising to see bootcut jeans return to the forefront. Chloé paired the denim with lace-trimmed tanks and long pendants on its fall runway, which is the general styling direction we're expecting fashion people to follow in the wild this season. Valentino and Ulla Johnson likewise featured the throwback denim on their fall 2025 runways, signaling the beginning of their return to style.

It wasn't until we began to see fashion people actually adopt the jeans into their wardrobes that the trend went from theoretical to tangible. Now, we're spotting the chicest people in New York and Paris starting to pull out bootcut jeans again, and we're officially declaring the nostalgic style back from the dead. Jennifer Lawrence wore a pair of low-rise bootcut jeans from insider label Still Here on a stroll through downtown Manhattan. Elsa Hosk reached for an inky pair with a cinch-waist leather jacket, and It girls in Paris, London, and Copenhagen are styling the denim trend in fresh ways for fall 2025.

We last saw bootcut jeans having their true heyday during the '90s amid the low-rise-jeans phase, but they've gotten an update since the iconic decade.

Just ahead, see how our favorite It girls are styling bootcut-jeans outfits this season and shop our picks throughout.

Even Lawrence, who is normally a fan of loose and wide-leg denim, was recently spotted sporting a pair of bootcut jeans, a strong indication that the denim is coming back into favor. Her easygoing take with a simple white tee and ballet flats is a delightfully approachable way to reintroduce the jeans back into your outfit rotation.

For longer hems, heels are more than just an aesthetic choice, as they create the illusion of longer legs and save you from a hem job.

On its fall 2025 runway, Chloé showed a number of looks featuring bootcut jeans with—gasp—ballet flats. It was a mid-2000s fever dream, especially with the addition of the brand's reissued Paddington Bag. It girls of the era will be all over this specific combo.

With the suede revival in full swing, now's the time to style it with your favorite pair of bootcut jeans. Wear a suede chore coat or suede ankle boots for a flawless combination of subtle '70s references.

More runway approval came from Valentino, where the jeans got a dressier spin with a floral corset top.

Flip-flops have been everywhere this year, and they give these slouchy jeans an effortless, lived-in feel.

Yes, Canadian tuxedos will always be cool. For Ulla Johnson, that include a pair of well-tailored bootcut jeans.

Here's a classic take on denim that's worth repeating: a straight-cut leather jacket with dark-wash bootcut jeans. The look is timeless and always chic.

Admittedly, we were dubious about the return of cropped denim, but outfits like this have convinced us otherwise. The cool heeled ankle boots give this look a subtle downtown edge.

This is the perfect winter outfit, and no one can tell us otherwise. All of the elements are simple, effortless, and likely easy to re-create with staples you already own.
