Honestly, I was relieved when summer finally came to a close and autumn arrived. Whilst feeling a warm shot of sunshine on the face is a mid-year treat I'll never tire of, the cooler seasons appeal to me on a much broader scale, especially when it comes to style. As a jeans fanatic, I find it almost impossible to resist wearing them and inevitably slip into a pair throughout the year's hottest months. So after enduring a stuffy summer, when autumn comes into sight, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Given that I'm so into jeans, I'm always on the lookout for emerging denim trends to shake up my rotation, and this season, I've spotted an entirely fresh offering that's given my jeans collection a new lease of life. Funnily enough, it's a style that both myself and my Gen Z sister—whose wardrobes you couldn't possibly mix up—have just invested in. An evolution of the barrel-leg jeans silhouette that soared in popularity earlier this year, twisted-seam jeans are now coming to the fore.
Just as they sound, these jeans feature off-kilter seams which dart down the front of the legs to add a voluminous finish and a point of interest. Having picked up on this emerging look during my work day, you can imagine my surprise when I found out my younger sister had also recently invested in a pair of twisted-seam jeans.
More sculptural in design, twisted-seam jeans set themselves apart from other styles with their interesting shape. Wider than straight-leg jeans (which dominate my wardrobe), this emerging design plays with proportions, creating a dynamic silhouette that gives an outfit far more drama than standard jeans ever could.
Whilst it feels very fresh for the new season, brands have been working the trend into their collections for several months. COS' dark-grey pair would style so well with a pointed-toe heel, and ME+EM's pleated style will give an evening look the drama it deserves.
Appealing to my Gen Z sibling's penchant for baggy jeans and my millennial desire to feel on-trend and current, read on to discover our edit of the best twisted-seam jeans—the denim trend that has both generations onside.
