Trouser jean
According to Bergamotto, fashion brands recently resurrected trouser jeans.
"Popular in the early aughts, this pants-inspired fit fits like the go-to work pant, but with an even wider leg," she explained.
To bring the style into 2024, it's all about dark denim -- Google searches for this wash have spiked in the last month.
"This pair of premium denim from AE77 -- American Eagle's sustainable denim collection -- approximates the look with a wide leg and welt back pockets," Bergamotto said. "The fit should be super nipped in at the waits to balance the volume of the leg."
Barrel jean
According to Bergamotto, one of the more controversial denim trends this year is the barrel jean.
"Before you decide if it's for you, you should know that not all barrel jeans are created equally," Bergamotto said.
"We found that this Curve Love High Rise Taper from Abercrombie was among the most wearable for every body type," she continued. "This has a universally flattering 10.5-inch rise, fits loose through the thigh, tapering back in at the ankle."
Cargo jean
"What started as a whisper of a trend on TikTok in 2023 is now being shouted from runways to street style: the cargo jean," Bergamotto said.
She explained, "This 2.0 version from Madewell reimagines the utilitarian jean with sprinkle of streamlined sophistication. Instead of large chunky pockets on the sides of the thighs, look for pockets that are large and flush to the silhouette. We also love that these have a higher back rise, giving you a curve-enhancing lift."
Straight gray jean
"If you are still mourning the loss of skinny jeans, this is the pair for you," Bergamotto said. "A slim straight fit is like the skinny jean's cooler, younger sister. These have a high-waist and fit slim through the legs. Plus, they're gray, which is the trendiest thing in denim right now."
