If you would have stepped foot in theBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing office a year ago, you would have seen our editors wearing every style of cropped jeans. And years before, skinny jeans were the fit of choice for everyone in the fashion world. Recently though, these two styles are “slowly dying”. This isn’t a surprise, as skinny jeans have been on the decline as newer loose fits have become more popular. Cropped jeans were more recently popular, though, and we’ll attribute their downturn in popularity as a reaction to the amount they were hyped in the seasons before. Everyone is ready for something fresh and new.
Denim is taking a decidedly different turn for the season ahead. The fits, looser. The colors, more fun. And the runway trends? They’re being taken pretty literally. Western was one of the biggest trends spotted on the runways and that’s being interpreted in the world of denim with raw, top-stitched styles. But also, nods to the ‘80s with super-oversized denim jackets, stone-washed finishes, and ornamental details. Ahead, we’re breaking down the biggest denim trends straight from the fall 2018 runways.
