Fall is just around the corner, which means one thing: a fresh crop of denim trends has dropped.

Nothing is more visually indicative of the start of autumn—at least in the minds of the style crowd—than the shift toward heavier textiles, like cashmere, leather, wool, and of course, denim.

The latter remains one of the most poignant visual cues (outside an actual calendar) that fall is upon us.

It’s nearly impossible to step outside, scroll online, or even shop without spotting some form of denim: pants, jackets , and even handbags.

Of course, you can wear denim year-round, but the textile has something distinctly autumnal about it.

Simply put, denim has, and always will be, a decidedly fall staple.

And there’s no better way to embrace summer’s end than by shopping a few new denim trends.

But if you’re unsure which exact styles are worth investing in right now, we’ve got the lowdown.

Spoiler alert: skinny jeans are indeed back .

Millennials, rejoice.

Ahead, you’ll find a breakdown of the six biggest denim trends for fall based on their prevalence in the Fall/Winter 2026 collections of Kallmeyer, Altuzzara, Khaite, and many other designers.

From cigarette silhouettes to high waistlines and neutral washes, there is no shortage of denim trends worth adopting this season.
