Jeans can say a lot about the personality of the wearer. This Autumn-Winter 2025/2026 season, the runways have made no exception in showing the right jeans for every style and every generation. Denim is reinvented in silhouettes and also in the combinations in which it is worn. And there is no one who can deny it finding the denim pants that will accompany you for a whole season can be a simple gesture that will save you from all those occasions where you don't know what to wear.
In the Autumn-Winter 2025 fashion jeans trends, highlights include the permanence of flared jeans with a very wide bottom and also regular; baggy jeans that are worn in light gray colours and also blue and black wide leg jeans that are characterised by their wide leg; barrel jeans that are narrower towards the bottom; straight jeans that are a classic; cropped jeans at the ankle and skinny flared jeans that, unlike the flared jeans, these are narrower at the top.
"While wide-leg denim has dominated the debate in recent years, it hasn't reached the dominance that skinny denim had in the 2010s," Business of Fashion reported in a recently published article on how denim has entered a "no-rules" era. And we've seen it on the runways.

Flared jeans

The flared jeans that triumphed in the 70s refuse to go away in this 2025. We saw them at Paris fashion week, on the Chloé runway , in combinations with long sweaters and boho blouses. These were also seen in dark blue denim, their most classic version, matched with boots and a trench coat at A.L.C. On the other hand, A.W.A.K.E Mode presented them with a low rise that refers to a palazzo design, which gives them the place of the most striking flared pants of the season.

Baggy Jeans

Baggy jeans known for their loose fit, bring a relaxed style to any combination. This season they were seen on the runways of Valentino, Acne Studios and Blumarine. There are no limits when it comes to the combinations that can be created with baggy jeans, which from fall to winter will be worn with heels, tennis shoes and sandals.

Wide-leg jeans, better known as wide-leg jeans, will go to the extreme next season. The cut is made so wide that this will be the only piece you need to create a statement. At Sport max they were worn in denim on denim with an oversized blazer at Proenza Schouler with a turtleneck sweater and at MSGM with a cape sweater. Wide leg jeans are ideal to wear with heels for balance.

Barrel jeans
Tibi, Fall-Winter 2025.
Barrel jeans are jeans that are flared at the hips and thighs. This type of denim pants will jump from spring to autumn, as for several months they have dominated in street style and in stores like Zara and Mango. From the catwalks, the trend comes from brands like Versace, Tibi and Balenciaga.

Straight jeans

Straight leg jeans were a classic of the 80's that have been present in every decade, although these are reinvented through the aesthetics of each look. Straight leg jeans are perfect for creating formal looks, with loafers, boots and pointy-toed shoes. There are no limits to wear them with any of the season's on-trend blouses, and neither with the teddy coats we saw on the catwalks.

Cut just above the ankle, cropped jeans hit the Autumn-Winter 2025 runways in brands like Brandon Maxwell, Brunello Cucinelli and Prada. Your favourite pair of shoes? Pointed heels that can be plain or with details that make them look even more sophisticated.

Finally, we come to skinny flare jeans, which are characterised by a slightly flared bottom and a narrower top. At Chanel, the magic was present with skinny skinny flare jeans that transform into vaporous pants. At Etro, we see them in their boho version and at Coperni in a glam-rock version .
