Ukrainian designer Andre Tan has named the main jeans trends that will shape fashion in the coming seasons. In his Instagram post the designer highlighted seven jeans styles worth paying attention to right now.
Barrel leg trend set to stay
The first on the list is the barrel leg style – jeans with a rounded silhouette. Despite common beliefs that they can visually shorten height or add volume, Andre Tan emphasizes that this is one of the most relevant cuts, and it’s here to stay for more than just one season.
The key secret is choosing the right length for your height. With a well-executed cut, these jeans look stylish and modern, and they are already making waves on runways and in street style.

Cloche jeans bring back 70s aesthetic
The second spot goes to classic cloche jeans, inspired by 1970s fashion.
According to the designer, this style also requires careful attention to length. Finding the perfect fit can make the look refined and balanced, adding lightness to the silhouette and a touch of retro vibe.

Printed jeans as outfit highlight
The third trend is printed jeans. Andre Tan draws special attention to the Bambi print, which looks both cute and fashionable.
This denim becomes a standalone focal point of the outfit and pairs easily with basic wardrobe pieces, adding individuality to the style.
Dark blue jeans new season classic
The fourth trend is dark blue jeans. This classic shade is once again at the peak of popularity and, according to the designer, is set to become a must-have this winter.
Their versatility lies in the fact that they suit all body types and fit seamlessly into both casual and more refined looks.

The sixth trend is basic jeans. They can be either cropped or classic length. Andre Tan emphasizes that this style always looks stylish and suits everyone, regardless of body type.
