All of a sudden, people are embracing these '90s jean styles again.
The last time I checked, I had just over 30 pairs of jeans. While that might seem like a lot, wearing them almost every day means this variety allows me to easily switch up my style. I'm always willing to try a new silhouette as long as it complements my shape and aesthetic—just recently, I bought a barrel-leg pair—but what I really gravitate towards are the styles that aren’t new; they're actually trends from decades past, specifically the '90s. Yes, we're discussing the '90s jeans trends making a resurgence in 2025. Think of the turn-up style that Jennifer Aniston sported with a sheer top back in 1998, the dark blue indigo jeans favored by Kate Moss since 1996, and the fun flared style that Halle Berry promoted from 1993. These styles, along with a few others, are once again making an impact in the fashion scene this year. Whether you're experimenting with them for the first time or you've worn them for years, these are the '90s jeans trends you'll soon see everywhere once more.
**'90s Jeans Trends to Watch for 2025:**
1. **Indigo Washes**
*Style Notes:* Who What Wear has already indicated that indigo denim is poised to be the wash of the year, a sentiment echoed by brands like COS, Whistles, and Agolde. Key cuts are emerging in this deep, rich blue shade, reminiscent of how Kate Moss wore it in the '90s. Remember her look from 1996 with a Breton top? It's an easy style to replicate in 2025.
**Shop the Trend:**
- **AGOLDE** Kelly High-Rise Straight-Leg Jeans
- **Whistles** Dark Denim Petite Stretch Barrel Leg Jean (I'm 5'4", so I'm pleased these are also available in petite sizes).
- They come in 13 other denim washes too!
2. **Flared**
*Style Notes:* How adorable is Halle Berry’s outfit from 1993? The flared jeans paired with a tassel top are likely to be seen at upcoming festivals, and this nostalgic style is already prevalent on the high street, so you can get a jump on summer looks.
**Shop the Trend:**
- **& Other Stories** High-Waist Flared Jeans (Loving the Western vibe of this mid-wash pair).
- **ZARA** Trf Cropped Flare High-Waist Jeans (Zara is definitely one of my go-to spots for denim).
- **M&S Collection** Mid Rise Flared Jeans (M&S impresses with its three different leg lengths).
- **MANGO** Violeta Flare Jeans Mid Rise Rinse Washed (Add a suede jacket and heeled sandals).
3. **Turn-Ups**
*Style Notes:* Jennifer Aniston will always be my ultimate muse—especially as Rachel Green—but I particularly adore this off-duty look from 1998 that inspires me to pull out my favorite turn-up jeans. It proves that jeans paired with a 'nice top' will never go out of style; this classic combination has been dependable for decades.
**Shop the Trend:**
- **ARRANGE** Parker Denim High Waist Slouchy Turn Up Jean (Fresh from the new Arrange brand at ASOS).
- **COS** Facade Turn-Up Straight-Leg Jeans (This year, the bigger the turn-up, the better).
- **CITIZENS OF HUMANITY** Ayla Baggy High-Rise Straight-Leg Jeans (This slightly cropped style will showcase great shoes).
- **Nobodys Child** Denim Wide Leg Turn Up Jeans (These will be a spring essential with sandals).
4. **Classic Straight-Legs**
*Style Notes:* If Cindy Crawford has saved any of her iconic '90s outfits, I'd love to explore her wardrobe. Straight-leg jeans have been in style since 1990, and this easy-to-pair option is still a favorite among fashion insiders. Go full Cindy with a double denim look, adding a belt and ballet flats.
**Shop the Trend:**
- **AGOLDE** Henson Mid-Rise Straight-Leg Jeans (These capture the essence of the decade).
- **AGOLDE** + Net Sustain '90s Pinch Waist High-Rise Straight-Leg Organic Jeans (They’re aptly named the '90s pinch waist for a reason).
- **House of Dagmar** Straight Leg Denim (These will complement everything from ballet flats to heels).
- **MOTHER** The Maven Sneak Mid-Rise Straight-Leg Jeans.
5. **Light Washes**
