While there’s certainly nothing wrong with a pair of classic blue, straight-leg jeans, brands have worked up some subtle updates to their jean styles this season that you might wish to consider. These aren’t, however, flash-in-the-pan jeans trends that will go out as quickly as they came in—I’ve deliberately selected pairs that 1) have already proven themselves to have a longer shelf life than others or 2) I genuinely think won’t date. Proof that even trending items can stand the test of time.
While conducting my research, it became clear that the most avid jeans wearers congregate in three cities: London, Paris and L.A. As such, I thought it would be fun to take a closer look at the summer jeans trends which are most prevalent in each place, too. How’s that for organisational skills?
