If there’s one denim trend that’s taken the fashion industry by storm, it’s barrel jeans. Aside from becoming the poster child for cool girls, they’re comfortable and easy to style . . . however there’s a new denim trend in town that’s even more flattering: tulip jeans. The style channels the same relaxed fit of a classic barrel, but with a leg-lengthening twist ‘It’ girls love.

Characterized by their curved silhouette, tulip jeans are roomy through the thighs before tapering toward the ankles. They typically sit high on the waist, defining the midsection and creating the illusion of longer legs, and these tulip denim options are going into our fall lineup. We found picks with ruffles, camo prints and minimalistic styles to match every personality, so scroll on to shop the tulip jeans that’ll give your barrel go-tos a run for their money.
