I think it’s safe to say that we’ve already established the demise of skinny jeans over the past few years. It’s hard not to see the shift. Everywhere I look, denim outfits are getting more and more relaxed, and because of it, non-skinny jeans are officially becoming the go-to style for fashion people everywhere. It’s just a pattern I noticed—I promise I’m not purposefully hating on skinnies. (If you love them, do you!)
Okay, you’re a fashion person, and you’re not reaching for skinny jeans on the daily. Well, what are you reaching for? My prediction for the rest of 2024 and beyond is low-rise baggy jeans. I know you’re thinking, “There’s no way in hell that low-rise jeans will become my go-to style,” but hear me out. This new wave of low-rise jeans isn’t the tight, hip-hugging kind from the early aughts that has us all emotionally damaged. Instead, it’s more of a low-slung fit. In other words, they’re relaxed jeans that just happen to be baggy enough to sit low on your hips. They’ve bubbled for a minute, but 2024 is the year this style will hit its stride, and trendsetting denim brands like Agolde and Re/Done are already behind some of the standout pairs defining the look.
