As someone who wears jeans more often than not, I feel a deep connection to the pairs that make up my collection.
There’s something comforting about slipping into a familiar pair of jeans—the well-worn blue shade, the structured yet casual fit…denim has been a constant in my wardrobe for as long as I can remember. Being somewhat of a denim aficionado, I always keep a close eye on emerging jeans trends, and this season, the runways delivered some truly standout moments. Denim was a key feature in several designer collections, but what struck me most about the spring/summer 2025 shows was the surprising scarcity of it. Powerhouses like Loewe, Miu Miu and Khaite skipped denim altogether, whilst brands such as Chloé opted for trousers in soft sky-blue hues—subtly nodding to classic denim without fully embracing it.
That’s not to say jeans were completely absent or uninspiring though— quite the opposite. Where they did appear, they made an impact. Designers took a thoughtful approach, refreshing and redefining the all-time wardrobe staple with innovative cuts and details that offer a compelling alternative to the straight-leg jeans we’ve all relied on for seasons.
The perfect new-season dose of denim inspiration awaits—read on to discover the seven major spring jeans trends that will set the fashion agenda for the foreseeable.
7 Spring Jeans Trends Designers Are Backing
1. Horseshoe Jeans
Style Notes: Acne's interpretation of the horseshoe jeans trend takes this already sculptural style to another level. Amplifying its bowed design with an exaggerated, inflated effect, the statement piece offers a bold take on denim that speaks to the broader shift towards more dramatic silhouettes.

2. Cuffed Jeans
Style Notes: Finally, a runway trend you can shop straight from your wardrobe—luxury designers are championing the return of cuffed jeans for spring. Specifically, styles with a stiff finish and a wide-leg cut are taking centre stage. These high-cuffed jeans expose a large section of hem, striking the perfect balance between polished and casual. If you already own a long pair of jeans, simply turn them up. If, however, you'd like to make a fresh investment, there are countless pairs on the market complete with cuffs as standard.
