You know you’re getting older when you start texting your girlfriend text chain asking if skinny jeans are still in style. We are seeing them less and less, but I think they are so flattering on women! We’ve also slowly been seeing the rise in jeans get lower and legs get wider. I’m okay with wider leg jeans, but I don’t think I can ever get rid of my high rise denim and my skinny jeans.
It got me thinking though, what jean style to you tend to wear?
Following jean trends can be fun and push you outside of your comfort zone. But, I think the most important thing, above being trendy, is wearing jeans that fit your body well. Flares may be in style, but if skinny jeans look the best on your body, you should rock them with confidence!
2022 Denim Trends:
- Colored Jeans
- Low-rise
- Flare jeans
- 90s jeans – low or high rise and wider legs
- Detailed jeans – patchwork or jewels
- Denim maxi skirts
- Slouchy, baggy jeans

No matter the trends though, finding the right jeans for your body type is a skill and an important one at that! Below you will find a quick guide to help you find the best jean top for your body type.
Once you find the jean style that best suits your figure, my recommendation would be to invest in a pair or two of qualify jeans. When you invest in jeans that fit you well and flatter your figure, you’ll be able to wear them year after year.
I would note, too, that not all designer jeans will fit you well. It’s taken me years to find jean brands that do and don’t me well. For example, Seven jeans don’t seem to ever fit me right while Agolde jeans fit me great. Don’t under estimate lower price point denim, too though! I’ve found some great pairs under $100 like Levi’s or Abercrombie jeans.
