Your Ultimate Guide to Spring's Biggest Denim Trends

For Spring, wear a pair of cropped denims to show off your ankles and shoes. While a culotte cut is popular, we're seeing a rise in kick flare options. This is a suitable alternative to the super flared-out styles. If you do love the wider look, though, we recommend this Madewell pair ($70).

Worried that the cropped style might make your legs look shorter? RE/DONE's high-rise fit ($310) solves the problem.

We can see models like Kendall Jenner and Gigi Hadid rocking a pair of Michael Kors high-rise crops ($495).

The Fendi denim culottes ($649) are worth the splurge.

For Spring 2017 designers are playing with the hemlines on denim, giving way to cool creations like the fringed effect. The detail transforms an ordinary pair of skinnies, crops, or flares into a trendy yet still wearable jean. This 3x1 straight-leg style ($295) will match with everything.

Who said hemlines have to be straight? This season, take a pair of your old jeans and give them a makeover with staggered edges.
