If there’s one thing we can count on is that a closet full of denim, is always a good idea. Denim is truly the safest closet staple you can invest in as most styles never go out of trend, however there are certain styles, washes, etc. of denim that go in and out of style frequently.

I know there may be some fatigue around the old money and quiet luxury trend, however there’s one thing that fashion people tend to love over and over again and that is wanting to look expensive, and by expensive I mean wanting to look like you truly invested in good quality pieces for your wardrobe rather than “cheaper” looking pieces.

Now I am one that frequently shops fast fashion for my denim, particularly out of need. Not many stores make jeans with inseams long enough for me as I’m 6’2, but through my research for this blog here, I’ve found a ton of brands out here that are a cross between affordable fashion and quality pieces so you can look expensive without breaking the bank.

Below I’ve broken it down for you and listed the 5 denim trends that are guaranteed to make you look expensive this Fall/Winter season you must have.

straight leg denim

Spoiler alert: baggy denim is also a trend you’ll find in this blog, however straight leg denim is taking over for a more tailored, slim and chic look to denim for fall / winter. Pair with pointed toe flats / patent leather heels or short ugg boots and you’re set to transition your straight leg denim from fall to winter easily.

two-toned denim

If there is any trend that’s been prevalent through the whole year it’s a new way to wear denim, which basically means experimenting with different styles of denim that aren’t within the “normal” definition of denim. Two-toned denim follows that theme to a T and makes it incredibly fun to switch up your wardrobe, all while looking expensive at the same time.

90S BAGGY JEANS

Of course baggy jeans are trending for fall / winter, but these picks are denim that time and time again have been proven to be very high quality and able to instantly elevate your wardrobe with a clean fit and various options to fit a variety of different body types.

Dark Wash Denim

Dark wash denim tends to come back into trend heading into the fall / winter season, and we’re not mad about it! Dark wash denim transitions seamlessly into the season as a way to take your go-to outfits from spring/summer and wear them the same way, but with different toned denim.

DENIM ON DENIM

A pro tip for attempting to look expensive is to sport the denim on denim trend. Spice up your denim on denim look with simple gold jewelry and you may look as if you just stepped out of the 90’s, but will be sporting the expensive look through the fall / winter seasons.
