The last time I owned a pair of floral jeans was the summer of 2012, which might explain why, ever since, they’ve felt a little, well, dated to me.
After all, a bit of fatigue is inevitable once a trend reaches peak saturation, and after some pretty questionable interpretations, many of us turned our backs on statement denim, preferring to rely on more classic (read: basic) alternatives. But as ever, the pendulum swings, and suddenly what once felt passé is now intriguing again.
Truthfully, I'm warming to these quicker than expected, partially thanks to a recent Elsa Hosk look that showed them at their best. Spotted in a high-waisted, flower-flecked pair from Chloé, Hosk's floral jeans were rendered in soft pinks and sunny yellows that brought a whole heap of prettiness to what could have easily been another simple outfit.
Her jeans came straight from Chloé’s spring/summer 2025 runway, but the revival isn’t confined to one collection. The print-heavy denim has already cropped up at Etro and Blumarine for autumn/winter 2025, and even made its way into Celine’s spring/summer 2026 line-up—a clear sign that this is more than a fleeting flirtation.
Of course, the high street has been quick to follow suit. From H&M to Mango, chic floral jeans are already filtering into stores, making it easy to dip into the look without the runway price tag.
So, if your classic blues are starting to feel a little too safe, consider this your sign to let florals into your rotation. Read on to discover the denim trend set to knock basic jeans off their podium this season.
