Styles, Trends & Styling
Hardly any other material is as much a part of our everyday lives as denim, and yet it reveals a new side of itself every season. Sometimes understated and minimalist, sometimes bold and voluminous: the current collections play with silhouettes and proportions. The cut, length, and styling often have a greater impact than you might think. That’s exactly where the potential lies.
In this post, we’ll show you the most important denim silhouettes, how they look, and how you can incorporate them into your Look . With specific outfit ideas and quick styling tips, we’ll help you find the cut that feels right for you.
What will really change in 2026?
Denim is being reimagined piece by piece: The focus is no longer on washes or details, but on silhouettes, proportions, and entire Looks. Denim has long been more than just a single item—it’s the foundation of modern outfits. To learn how you can easily combine these trends into a Look , check out the section “Which jeans are right for me? And how do I style them?”
VOLUME & NEW SILHOUETTES
The focus is shifting away from details and effects and toward form. Loose silhouettes like the barrel or wide-leg styles define the " Look " and strike a balance between modern and relaxed.
DENIM AS A FULL OUTFIT
Instead of individual pieces, the focus is on how the pieces work together. Denim is deliberately mixed and matched and worn as a complete Look .
CLEAN & MINIMALIST
Denim has taken on a more understated look than in the past. Less texture, more clarity— Looks that exude a calm, high-quality feel.
DENIM BEYOND CASUAL
Denim is paired with classic elements. Blazers, clean lines, and structured silhouettes give the fabric a fresh, sophisticated look.

THE MOST IMPORTANT JEANS STYLES
Not all jeans look the same—it all comes down to the cut. From straight to wide: Each cut changes the silhouette and, with it, the entire Look.
Straight
Straight cut from the thigh to the hem.
This silhouette has a calm, balanced, and timeless look.
WIDE
Generous width from the thigh to the hem.
The cut adds movement to the Look and gives it a modern, relaxed look.
BARREL/BALLOON
Volume in the leg, usually with a slightly tapered shape.
Barrel and balloon jeans play with volume and visibly alter the proportions.
SLIM
A form-fitting cut with clean lines.
The cut has a minimalist look and defines the silhouette.
WHAT KIND OF JEANS SUIT ME? AND HOW DO I STYLE THEM?
Finding the right pair of jeans is less about trends and more about how a cut looks—and how you style it. Often, it’s the small adjustments that make an Look look just right. We’ll show you how the different styles look and how you can adapt them to your own style.
Simple and versatile
STRAIGHT LEG
This is a good choice for you if you prefer a timeless basic that neither accentuates nor conceals. When paired with a higher waistline, the Look can also create a more elongated look.

- Light-colored straight-leg jeans with a white T-shirt and a soft, sand-colored knit top, paired with light-colored sneakers and a crossbody bag—relaxed and effortless.
- Straight-leg jeans in medium blue, paired with a white lace blouse and a vest, along with sandals and a bag made of natural materials—modern with a boho touch.
