Pants: What’s New?
An Interesting Trend & A Hit List of Current Bangers
Okay, let’s get this out of the way: skinny jeans ARE NOT coming back. At least not now. However, it is worth noting that a spike in search results for this topic tends to occur every year around the end of the year. Are we perennially collectively asking ‘are skinny jeans coming back?’ in anticipation of 20XX being THE year a major denim shift goes down?
Okay, if skinnies aren’t an option in 2024, what is? We’ve highlighted three predominant trends in pants to take note of for Fall, which as we all know, is when it’s finally time to start dressing.
Earth Tones -
As indicated by fashion data queen databutmakeitfashion , muddy green is experiencing a surge in popularity. Unsurprisingly, we’re seeing a good amount of pants in earth tone variations for Fall ‘24.

Distressing -
We haven’t entered skinny jean territory, but a throwback approach to denim we are seeing is that of distressed denim. Stone washing, whiskers, and fading, the hallmarks of denim of (relatively recent) yesteryear, are clearly back.

White Pants -
Are they just for summer? No! Are they still a liability to go skate in, eat in, or do basically anything in? Yes! That being said, white pants are definitely on the table for Fall ‘24. Pair them with an earth tone-hued top and you’re an official fall enthusiast.
