Take a look around you. Someone, somewhere will no doubt be wearing a pair of jeans—perhaps it’s even you, right this very moment. I, for one, live in my jeans. I own a trusty Levi’s 501 pair which I reach for time and time again. They fit like the dream and are so soft and comfortable. The light wash has faded in a subtle way, giving them a chic but lived-in feel. I could never part with them.
Denim jeans are a staple in any person’s wardrobe at any given time. From classic light blues, to rich indigos and every variation of cut, style and silhouette under the sun, you will be hard pressed to not see them everywhere you turn. They transcend seasons and eras. I would even argue to say that they pass for a neutral—pair with any colour and they just work. This is why they are the foundation piece in the wardrobes for many celebrities off-duty. From Rihanna to Suki Waterhouse, Lila Moss to Sienna Miller, stylish women know how to rock them.
So what does denim look like in 2025, I hear you say? I’ve gathered my sources and identified some key trends that the style pack are wearing now. If you want to get ahead, read on shop these styles today.

Style notes: This is surprisingly a more tame look from the usual stylings of Rihanna. Is she in her quiet luxury era? Either way, I am loving how she has paired these big blue jeans with a burgundy heel, top and lip combo. Ultra chic and understated.
