It's 2019 and your skinny jeans [1] are calling, but do you answer? After eyeing the fresh crop of denim alternatives you may want to hit "ignore," at least long enough to experiment with a couple new styles. Thanks to the nostalgic '90s [2] and '00 vibes, we're seeing a return to wide, roomy legs, cargo pockets, and long, lean straight legs. Consider these five trends the easiest ways to give your everyday look an upgrade and step into the new year already "trending." [3]

Long and Lean Straight Leg

Whether low-slung (which is definitely back for the coming year) or high-rise, straight silhouettes that hit below the ankle are back, and you'll likely see more of these styles in favour of the ankle-cropped legs that have ruled street style for the past few seasons.

Tailored Denim

Iterations of trouser-style denim are one of our favourites for the year. Cool enough for the weekends, but sophisticated enough for the office — win, win!

Distressed Hemlines

If you're not over cropped jeans yet, you don't have to be. Distressed hemlines that show off a hint of ankle are one of 2019's big trends.

Pockets and Personality

Cargo silhouettes, patches, and pockets are the striking details your 2019 jeans are here to deliver.

Wide-Leg Jeans

Fuelled by the nostalgia of the early '00s, wide-leg jeans are making a triumphant return. They're not exactly boot-cut or flared, but an all-over wide leg that's meant to feel a bit more dramatic and add laid-back cool to anything you pair with them.
