Each season, new jeans are always on our list of items to buy. As we look ahead to Spring [1], we're narrowing down the must-have styles for warmer days [2]. 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 [3] before everyone else, check out the list ahead.
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 [10] above) or a frayed hemline that looks raw and jagged. Forget simply cuffing your jeans [11]. You'll want to embrace fun designs like ruffles or even a fluted style for that retro take.
Tory Burch Mia Jeans
Looking for fun jeans to wear on vacation? Tory Burch's "Mia" jeans [12] ($348) are it.
Topshop Black Straight Leg Jeans
These Topshop jeans feature [13] ($240) diamante fringe hem details.
Forever 21 Kikiriki Frayed Flared Capri Jeans
If these Forever 21 jeans [14] ($48) aren't the definition of party pants, then we don't know what is.

Triangle Culottes
Show off your ankles (and shoes) with a pair of high-waisted, cropped flare jeans. This style looks great with a thick sweater for Winter and a breezy top in the Summer. If you're looking for that pair of jeans with a special something-something, flares just might do the trick.

Baggy All Over
If you love the slouch style of your mom or boyfriend jeans [24], 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.
Burberry High-Rise Straight Leg Jean
This pair of Burberry jeans [25] ($350) reminds us of the type you spot on street style stars all the time.

Side Stripes
Racetrack-inspired prints have made a comeback on the runway [30], 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?
Rag & Bone Straight Stripe Outseam Jeans
We're saying "yes" to immediately purchasing Rag & Bone's stripe outseam jeans [31] ($295).
Topshop Moto Side Striped Flared Jeans

Mother Insider Fray Speed Racer
In addition to the stripes, this pair of Mother jeans [36] ($228) features an uneven hemline.
Deconstructed
The best way to describe deconstructed jeans in 2018 is that the jeans look "off." The garment doesn't look completely finished [37] (hemlines are left undone, buttons might be misplaced, etc . . .) and the denim has a raw feel to it. Brands like Vetements, Y/Project [38], and Off-White are notorious for the deconstructed look, which makes these instantly street style approved.
Ksenia Schnaider Jeans
These Ksenia Schnaider jeans [39] ($455) look like two pairs in one.
Rag & Bone Wicked Deconstructed Denim Jeans
Did you notice the fun detail that makes these Rag & Bone jeans [40] ($142, originally $295) different from other pairs?

Are you seeing two pairs of jeans or one? This Vetements design [44] ($1,249) will definitely play tricks on your eyes.
'80s Remix
The '80s fashion influence [45] is still strong in 2018. (And if you're unsure how to rock the style, we can help [46].) 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.
Asos Tapered Jeans
Tuck a sweater into these Asos tapered jeans [47] ($56) and call it a day.
Maje Parisso Tapered Jeans
We're dropping everything to get our hands on these Maje "Parisso" tapered jeans [48] ($265).
