8 Denim Styles You'll Want to Buy This Fall

You can't talk fall denim trends without mentioning Vetements and the brand's influence on jeans as we know them. Its straight-leg style was seen on every street style star in the know, most likely because of the low-key, cut-off hem. But if you don't have $1,500 to spend on a pair, take the DIY route to recreate the look.

With its whimsical aesthetic, it's no wonder Gucci got into the embellished denim game. Go extreme with your look in a sequin top and patent boots—this is Alessando Michele's Gucci, after all—or tone down the style with a plain white tee.

This half-'70s, half-nautical trend was a natural progression from last year's button-front skirt craze. It also signals the impending return of the boot cut, which is on its way to becoming the next It-jean fit.
