Denim is one of the hardest working fabrics in our wardrobes, and while it remains a steadfast staple, the variations of styles and silhouettes constantly change from year to year. Today, we’re excited to dive into what denim trends 2025 has in store.
Many of the dominating styles we spotted on the spring/summer 2025 runways are unequivocally easy to wear. While there was a smattering of looks embellished with statement crystals, patchwork, and floral appliqués, it was evident that relaxed, minimalist silhouettes ruled the runways.
Wide-leg jeans continue their dominance in 2025, with brands such as Stella McCartney to Bottega Veneta backing long and loose puddle silhouettes that graze the floor. We saw some fresh styles such as loose and long jorts taking center stage along with unrestricted and relaxed denim skirt silhouettes that boast a sense of movement. This year is also proving to be the time to lean into the Canadian tuxedo with matching denim-on-denim looks.
If you’re looking to add a very 2025 denim silhouette to your wardrobe, then keep scrolling below as we highlight the major styles worth buying this year. And the best part? You don’t have to spend your entire paycheck to try the trends. We’ve kept all our shopping picks to under $150.

Okay, so there were also a whole host of deep, dark washes on the runways, but the pale-blue light washes really grabbed our attention because of how pervasive they were in the collections—especially in the form of wide-leg and bootcut silhouettes—oozing a free-spirited ’70s vibe.
