Bottega Veneta; Gucci; Y/ProjectLoose, languid jeans have defined our denim all year and the autumn/winter collections are only confirming what we thought we knew: upsized styles aren't going anywhere. Instead of their early aughts roots, though, the way designers are styling the roomy jeans is decidedly elevated. Pair them with chic tailoring like a trench or maxi coat and add luxe finishes via a leather belt or woven mules.
From the cut to the distressed wash, I'm obsessed.

Versace; Victoria Beckham; J.W. AndersonThese are classic jeans with a sophisticated twist. Across the autumn runways including at Versace and Victoria Beckham we spotted dark-wash denim with sleekly tailored shapes. While jeans are synonymous with casual attire, the wash, fit, and styling of these is here to prove otherwise.
The curved hem is a nice touch.
This pair comes in five leg lengths to find the perfect fit.

Congratulations if you invested early on in this trend because this autumn, floor-sweeping maxi skirts are the set to the be the It denim piece that threatens to replace your go-to jeans. The skirts bring a '00s nostalgia that's refreshingly wearable and based on the diverse styling ideas from the runway, they're surprisingly versatile to any personal style aesthetic, be it playful, minimal, edgy or anything in between.
The curved stitches and panelled details hug your figure in all the right places.
Agolde denim comes highly recommended.

Low rise jeans are yet again on the menu for autumn/winter '23 and whether that's good or bad news to you, one thing is clear: this autumn, low-rise jeans are decidedly easier to wear with roomier and relaxed fits that offset their midriff-baring waistlines.
The cargo details lean into the aughts trend even more.
If you told me these were straight from the 00's I'd believe you.
The dark wash! The low waist! The baggy fit! This pair ticks all the boxes.

Tibi; Skall Studio; AlaïaWhile double denim hasn't been "out" it also hasn't been at the top of our priority list for the last several years, but now we're seeing the pendulum swing in the opposite direction with coordinated denim ensembles start to bubble up again. Pro tip: they look especially cool with a chambray shirt in a wash that matches the jeans.
We're yet to find a Frankie Shop piece we don't like.
