The Fall Denim Trends You Haven't Thought of Yet 2017
Fall Denim Trends 2017: Raw
There’s nothing designers like more than a good throwback—and, for fall, we’re going all the way back to our denim roots, embracing the untreated, unwashed, and virtually untouched version of the material in its raw form. The biggest champion of this style was Raf Simons’ Calvin Klein, showing refined and elegant Canadian tuxedos that one can imagine looking just as cool with slick leather shoes as they would with pointed-toe heels.

Fall Denim Trends 2017: Floral Embroidery
Take a cue from the likes of Bella Hadid and Rihanna, who’ve started to sport this Fall 2017 runway as early as this summer: As seen on the runway at Adam Selman, the next wave of denim is less about silhouette, and more of how you embellish it—and the easiest way to do so is with embroidery. Pair a floral-stitch detail with a T-shirt for day, and with sky high heels for the evening.

Fall Denim Trends 2017: Visible Button Closure
A ode to the ’70s (with a dash of nautical), the button-front skirt craze of yore has evolved into the button-front jean for Fall 2017. This simple (and entirely utilitarian) detail will take your ordinary wide-leg bottoms into the It Jean to beat, now that the silhouette has a stamp of approval from designers like Stella McCartney. Tuck a top into it, or style it with cropped sweater to show off the minimal closure.

Fall Denim Trends 2017: Front Seam
If you somehow managed to look away from the bags-as-hats at Maison Margiela, you noticed what’s perhaps the most subtle denim upgrade for Fall 2017: the visible front seam. This low-key detail adds just the right amount of interest to an otherwise classic boot-cut jean.

Fall Denim Trends 2017: Shearling-Lined
When it comes to fall fashion, shearling is its own category—but as we saw in the latest collections from Y-Project, Coach, and Isabel Marant, it was also the go-to lining for all denim goods, from jackets to jeans. And our favorite retailers have followed these brands’ lead, incorporating the soft fabric into its staple outerwear—because coziness trumps everything else this autumn.

Fall Denim Trends 2017: All-in-One
Our transitional dressing philosophy: The less we have to think about it, the better. And a denim flight suit offers that. We saw plenty of interpretations of this all-in-one piece in the Fall 2017 collections of A.P.C., Adam Selman, and Dior. And though it can be as easy as simply zipping it up, there are plenty of ways to style this suit: You can try the A.P.C. method and tie the arms around your waist and wear it with a top, for instance, for a fresh take on the head-to-toe denim look.

Fall Denim Trends 2017: Extra-Extra Cropped Jacket
Usually, when we’re buying fall outerwear, our goal is to cover up—but, this season, the shorter the denim jacket, the better. As we saw at Virgil Abloh’s Fall 2017 Off-White collection, cropped denim is the way to top off your autumnal #OOTDs, whether you throw it on over a sweater or prefer to show off your midriff. Either way, it’s a head-turning look.

Fall Denim Trends 2017: XXL Cuff
Hemlines have been all the rage in denim innovation for a few years now. (Hey, remember the fringe 3×1 jeans?) The latest chapter in this saga? Extra-extra wide cuffs that create a colorblock effect and show off your footwear, whether it’s a sleek pair of kitten heels or some souped-up sneakers.

Fall Denim Trends 2017: Three-Tone Jeans
Just a couple seasons ago, Vetements popularized two-tone denim—for fall, designers are taking it up a notch, adding another hue to this indigo rainbow. Dries van Noten, for example, debuted zig-zagged three-tone patchwork jeans at the brand’s latest runway presentation.
