6 Autumn 2025 Jeans Trends Stylish People Will Wear Nonstop

This might be a controversial opinion, but I find denim really comes into its own in cooler months, which is why I’ve been keeping my eye on the autumn jeans trends defining 2025.

During balmy months, the sweet reprieve from pithy downfalls and brisk winds is so fleeting that I feel like it’s my duty to embrace the pretty summer dresses and sophisticated shorts that I’ve been stockpiling for the moment the sun makes an appearance. But as soon as that moment passes, these styles get stored away again for another few months, sitting idle in the back of my wardrobe as I’m forced to formulate warm, practical and chic outfits that can see me through grey skies and chilly temperatures.

My usual formula for bracing these weather woes involves some sort of woollen trench coat, a durable cashmere jumper and a pair of kitten heel boots that I can stomp around town in. Naturally, I find that denim jeans are the most effortless and elegant trousers to complete this ensemble, given their ability to always make you look chic and put together, even if you are just wearing a pair of archival Levi’s 501s that you fished out from a second-hand store.

It seems I’m not alone in believing that jeans are best saved for the autumn months, with countless designers and stylish tastemakers co-signing this stance. In Milan, Prada, a brand better known for its embroidered skirts and classic yet cerebral dresses, paraded a pair of indigo wash straight leg jeans down its autumn/winter 2025 runway. Elsewhere, in Paris, Chloé’s new season collection featured high-waisted and wide-leg styles that sat high on the hips in a nod to the stylings of the ‘70s.
