A great pair of jeans will never go out of style. Denim’s rugged versatility makes it easy to wear all year round and in almost any environment—there’s a reason designers continue to innovate on the staple season after season. On the fall 2025 runways, we saw denim spun into fresh silhouettes and washes, from slouchy tomboy shapes to autumnal brown washes.
Vogue’s Favorite Runway-Inspired Denim:

An overarching theme of the season points to comfort and ease—turning away from the super skinnies seen last fall at Miu Miu and toward slouchier, or flared styles. At his debut for Celine, Michael Rider presented slim barrel-leg shapes with sharp creases down the front that edged closer to trousers than last season’s skirt-like proportions. New York designers Khaite and Kallmeyer, too, showed soft, loose denim pants that draped and puddled on the floor. At Valentino and Prada baggy boyfriend-esque shapes were on offer, while Calvin Klein’s Veronica Leoni showed chic Americana with straight brown jeans and a plaid button-up. Chemena Kamali continued to champion the flare, this time paired with an oversized outerwear.
Whether you’re looking for wearable interpretations of the fall runway collections, or want to push the envelope with new fall trends, our edit below has ample inspiration for both. After all, you can never have too much denim.
Elevate Baggy Jeans With a Shrunken Blazer
Business on top, tomboy on the bottom. At Kallmeyer, the designer showed slouchy denim paired with a fitted blazer, shirt, and tie.
Subvert Preppy Codes With Unexpected Styling
Prada’s take on a classic straight-leg jeans combo is, predictably, a little twisted. You might be able to achieve the same effect with an oversized sweatshirt and button-up with the collar askew, and the brand’s smooth loafers.
Welcome Fall in New Shades of Denim
Veronica Leoni nodded to polished Americana at her Calvin Klein debut, pairing brown straight-leg denim with a fitted plaid shirt.

A Blazer and Silk Scarf Lend an Air of Insouciant Polish
Michael Rider’s slimmer version of a barrel-leg offers a sleek wearable option for fall. Here it’s paired with an oversized blazer and a colorful silk scarf, for a French-girl attitude.
Opposites Attract—in Life and Style Proportions
At Khaite, oversized extra-long jeans contrasted a cropped shearling jacket.
Commit to the Bit With Flares and a Boho Blouse
The Chloé girl is unequivocally a fan of the house’s signature flared denim. For fall she’s pairing it with a sweeping coat and a billowing printed blouse.
Double or Nothing
Bally’s piped denim pieces (and a big belt!) make for a fashion-forward take on the classic Canadian tuxedo.
Embrace Downtown Cool With Faded Black Washes
Chanel’s girl is ready to hit the town in washed black denim separates, a sheer black blouse, and of course, a string of pearls.
When in Doubt, Embrace the Art of the Clash
Valentino offers a masterclass in mixing and matching, pairing baggy dad jeans and Vans-like canvas lace-ups with a cheeky red top and a turtleneck.
