Each season, new jeans are always on our list of items to buy. As we look ahead to Spring, we're narrowing down the must-have styles for warmer days. Ahead, you'll find a guide to denim that is currently being offered by retailers (like deconstructed cuts in light washes). These all pair perfectly with your breezy, sheer blouses or crop tops. Springtime jeans should feel fun, either due to wash or embellishments, and they should work seamlessly into your wardrobe. If you want a sneak peek of what to scoop up before everyone else, check out the list ahead.

    1. Hem Details

    For Spring 2018, designers are drawing the eyes downward towards the hem. Jeans receive fun embellishments on the bottom, whether that's with seashells (like the Tory Burch pair above) or a frayed hemline that looks raw and jagged. Forget simply cuffing your jeans. You'll want to embrace fun designs like ruffles or even a fluted style for that retro take.

    3. Baggy All Over

    If you love the slouch style of your mom or boyfriend jeans, you'll take to the "baggy" fit too. These jeans don't exactly conform to the shape of your booty, rather, there's extra room in between. Expect your pant legs to be roomy too. These jeans look exceptionally great with a pair of boots.

    4. Side Stripes

    Racetrack-inspired prints have made a comeback on the runway, and it was only a matter of time before jeans got that treatment. Look out for that bright stripe trailing down the side of your denim. This extra detail gives your jeans a sporty feel. Who needs track pants?

    5. Deconstructed

    The best way to describe deconstructed jeans in 2018 is that the jeans look "off." The garment doesn't look completely finished (hemlines are left undone, buttons might be misplaced, etc . . .) and the denim has a raw feel to it. Brands like Vetements, Y/Project, and Off-White are notorious for the deconstructed look, which makes these instantly street style approved.

    6. '80s Remix

    The '80s fashion influence is still strong in 2018. (And if you're unsure how to rock the style, we can help.) An easy way to try the pieces inspired by this decade is with a pair of no-fuss jeans. Look for a fit that's snug at the waist and baggy throughout, then possibly tapered at the ankle too.
