Jeans are a year-round wardrobe staple, but the washes that feel fresh change with the seasons. This fall, it’s less about switching up your silhouette and more about experimenting with color — and celebrities are making a strong case for stepping beyond your usual denim rotation.
Light-wash jeans, like the ones Heidi Klum wears, deliver that effortless cool-girl-next-door vibe, while medium-wash denim feels a bit more polished for everything from business lunches to date nights. Want to venture beyond blue? Kate Middleton has given chocolate-brown jeans a sophisticated stamp of approval, while Jessica Alba proves black denim is a timeless favorite that works season after season.
Ready to give your denim drawer a refresh? We rounded up celebrity-inspired styles from Amazon, Old Navy, Nordstrom and more that make it easy to try fall’s freshest washes without splurging.
4 Denim Trends Celebrities Cannot Get Enough of This Fall
Brown Denim
1. Queen Behavior: Want a pair of royally flattering brown jeans? Take notes from Kate Middleton and opt for a figure-hugging skinny style, like this stretch denim design.
2. Extra Wide: If you love mom-fit jeans but prefer a silhouette that’s a bit more fashion-forward, this mid-rise sandy brown pair gives you the best of both worlds. It’s extremely comfortable but offers a bit of drama with the baggy flare legs.
3. Dark Chocolate: You’ll be able to wear these rich brown jeans through the seasons thanks to the cool barrel style and cropped hem. The shorter length is ideal for boots in the fall and winter as well as flats in the spring and summer.
4. Make a Statement: Let your jeans be the focal point of your outfit. The botanical pattern cascades up the legs of these gorgeous denim pants, making them a conversation-starter. Plus, you can keep the rest of your look simple with just a tee and boots.
5. So Professional: Abercrombie’s dark brown denim looks so sleek, your colleagues will think you’re wearing trousers rather than jeans.
Medium Blue Denim
6. Strut it Out: The right pair of jeans can make you feel like a star. I’m convinced that’s how Jessica Biel felt while donning a pair of wide-leg jeans while out in NYC. This high-waisted style gives off the same vibes.
7. Double Closure: Sometimes it’s the little design elements that elevate jeans. That’s the case with the double button closure and rolled cuff hem on these affordable wide-leg straight jeans.
8. Pick Your Poison: Jeans are one of the most annoying things to shop for. Quince makes things easy thanks to the length options in their kick flare jeans. Choose between short, regular or long — the medium wash is one of the most popular colors, so be sure to add it to your cart before it sells out.
9. The Coolest Logo: I often think that designer pieces covered in logos can look tacky. Tommy Hilfiger is the exception with these tasteful logo jeans. The design adds a pop of personality to your look.
10. No Fuss: Nothing’s worse than a stubborn button closure. Avoid the frustration with these convenient pull-on jeans that are soft, stretchy and oh so comfortable.
Black Denim
11. All About the ‘Tude: All black outfits will always look extra chic. Jessica Alba reminded Us of this, and now we’re copying her wide-legged black denim with this versatile Amazon pair.
12. Multi-Dimensional: Rather than being jet black from waist to hem, these button-closure jeans are a bit weathered down the leg for more of a cool-girl vibe.
13. Go Low: Don’t be afraid of low-rise denim! The cut is especially great for those with short torsos (speaking from experience). This Old Navy style is a great way to test the waters since it’s only $20.
14. Criss Cross: Why wear a belt and hide the cool crossover button closure on these Free People barrel jeans? It’s an understated statement that’ll become a staple in your wardrobe.
15. Curvy Dreams: Good American jeans are known for enhancing your curves — especially the fit-and-flare silhouettes. Get this style in black to feel extra confident in your body.
Light Wash Denim
16. Forever Young: Heidi Klum proves that denim trends aren’t restricted to certain ages. Rock a baggy light denim style no matter how old or young you are with this inexpensive pick that fits like a glove around the waist.
17. Keep it Smooth: Despite the baggy legs, these fan-favorite Levi’s jeans also include a slimming tummy panel to smooth your midsection for the most flattering fit. They also come in plus sizes.
18. Don’t Distress! Ripped jeans are making a comeback, and my millennial heart is thrilled. Abercrombie makes this killer pair with three strategically placed rips for the ultimate relaxed look.
19. Cuff It: If your goal is to look totally effortless, you need this pair of cuffed denim. When you pair these with nude heels, your legs will look model-long.
20. Tonal Romance: Jeans with a built-in accessory? Sign Us up. The pretty floral embroidery on the leg of these light-wash jeans is so delicate and pretty.
