Meghan Stimac’s Top 6 Spring Denim Trends
Spring has arrived, making it the perfect time to revamp your wardrobe, especially your collection of denim.
Even if you have a go-to pair of jeans that you adore, there’s an undeniable thrill in exploring new styles. We consulted with NYC-based celebrity stylist Meghan Stimac, who has collaborated with stars like Emily Ratajkowski and Lily Aldridge, to share the six hottest denim trends this season.
Here are the stylish, A-list-approved trends this spring — featuring everything from sleek straight-leg pants to a stunning wide-leg design. And don’t forget to check out the recommended footwear to complement each look.
1. Straight
“This style is the ideal combination of structure and comfort,” says Stimac, who describes it as “an essential for any wardrobe.” For the perfect spring look, pair these jeans with a flat shoe, like The Danza from M.Gemi, or opt for a design that has either a pointed or rounded toe, similar to Zoe Saldana’s chic choices.
2. Cuffed
This trend offers “a fresh take on relaxed-fit, straight-leg, and wide-leg jeans,” according to Stimac. She recommends finishing this outfit with sporty sneakers (we adore the Gola Daytona Blaze Sneaker) or elegant heels, as demonstrated by Naomi Watts.
3. Barrel
“These jeans are rapidly becoming a staple,” the stylist shared with Us. “The curved wide-leg silhouette adds an editorial vibe, making even the most basic outfits — like tees, tanks, or cardigans — look effortlessly stylish.” Statement stilettos or peep-toe pumps, similar to those worn by Julianne Moore, would work beautifully with barrel jeans, but classic loafers like this option from Steve Madden will also keep you stylishly on trend.
4. Capri
“With a stylish nod to the ’60s and a hint of ’90s revival, denim capris are making a strong resurgence,” Stimac enthusiastically shares. “For a clean, chic vibe, wear them with a fitted top and sleek thong sandals.” Keep it simple like Gigi Hadid by opting for a classic black tank paired with adaptable ballerina flats, such as Boden’s Kitty Flexi Sole Ballet Flats.
5. Wide-Leg
When fashion meets practicality: “The wide-leg design is timeless, flattering all body shapes,” the expert shares. Elevate this style with retro platforms like the Seychelles Paloma Sandal, coupled with a romantic, ruffled blouse like Sydney Sweeney wore.
6. Bootcut
“Bootcut jeans blend a nostalgic vibe with contemporary flair,” Stimac remarked about the slightly flared style. Meghan Markle was recently spotted in this fashion and styled it with a simple bootie and an oversized sweater. If you’re looking for alternatives for warmer days, she suggests picking a standout slingback or a lace-up sandal with a modest heel.
