Amy Leverton outlines six denim trends for fall 2026
Trend forecaster Amy Leverton identifies six specific denim styles defining the fall 2026 season.
Focus shifts to personal style
Leverton states that buyers now curate denim like they shop for shoes or knitwear. She notes that the industry is moving away from declaring fits as in or out. Instead, individual curation and personal style are becoming much more important than ever before.
Character defines this season
This fall spotlights denim with character through revivals of old silhouettes or added embellishments. The goal is to make the fabric feel personal rather than anonymous for the wearer. Baggy and slouchy fits persist as the most on-trend denim silhouette available.
Unconventional seam detailing returns
Leverton highlights jeans featuring unconventional seam detailing as a key trend to look out for. She points to arcing pant seams that originated from manufacturing defects in the 1950s and 1970s. These accidental design elements caused denim fabric to skew and tug during production.
