While the year is nearing an end, these jeans styles are ones you’ll see all over in 2023. Boot cut, high-rise straight leg, flair, and cropped jeans are all in style this year. Many of these styles are an ode to 90s fashion. From baggy and relaxed styles to more straight-leg jeans, what’s old is new again.
ARE SKINNY JEANS OUT OF STYLE?
What we’re seeing on the runways and on social media is a more relaxed, baggy look for denim style trends. Skinny jeans, or slim-leg jeans, have had a great run, but when paired with certain tops, they can also be unflattering.
And apparently, skinny jeans can be hazardous to your health! According to this article, wearing tight jeans frequently impacts hip joints and the spine negatively. Medical researchers have proven that tight jeans put constant pressure on nerves and cause tingling or burning in the legs. I personally like skinny jeans for certain outfits, but I am glad there are looser fits to choose from today.

If you’re looking to update your wardrobe, these are some style trends that are in at the moment. Jeans are staple wardrobe pieces that should hold up in quality and fit. You can expect prices to range from $50-$200, but despite pricing, the best jeans to buy are those that fit your body type.
Try on a few pairs of jeans from different brands to see which one you like best. Different brands have different styles and measurements, so it’s important to try them on before you buy.
STRAIGHT LEG JEANS
Straight-leg jeans are making a comeback this year. They are fitted through the hips and thighs and fall straight down at the knee. There are some variations of the straight leg, most commonly the mom-style jean, which has a slightly tapered leg and may be a little roomier around the hips.. Pair a true straight leg with a blazer for an updated casual look.

DEMI-BOOT CUT JEAN
The demi-boot cut jean is a great option for those not ready to commit to a full boot cut or flared denim style. This style of denim is fitted through the knee with a slight flare at the bottom. This is a great pair of denim to wear with booties or a statement shoe as it usually highlights the footwear.

Flared jeans have made many comebacks since the 70s. This fall, pair them with pointy-toe boots for a chic, classic look. Flared jeans are also a great option for those with curvy or hourglass shapes.
For petites, be sure to look at the inseam before buying online. You’ll want a pair that just grazes the floor and doesn’t bury your frame.
