I’ve discovered 21 new methods to put on the dominant denim development – you are welcome

The next big jeans trend without skinny is here and couldn’t be more chic. While skinny jeans really never will, and we don’t want to, we have spotted a number of emerging denim trends that are pretty much the opposite of skinnies. We mentioned earlier that bell-bottoms and loose jeans are on the rise, so we’re adding another of these non-tight styles to the top of our list: high-rise wide-leg jeans.

These are floor-length jeans with a pant-like wide leg and a high rise. We know that wide jeans can be intimidating if you are not used to them, which is why the high rise is crucial here. It hugs you in all the right places and gives the overall silhouette a nice dimension. Some of the standout styles that are defining the trend are Levi’s High Loose Jeans, which celebs and their stylists alike are keen on, as well as the Citizens of Humanity Annina Jeans, a favorite of Who What Wear editors.

To highlight this chic new denim trend, we’ve rounded up the freshest wide-leg denim outfits that fashion folks are now wearing and added our favorite pairs to try.
