Stand Down, Basic Jeans—This Outdated Yet Attractive Denim Style Is Making a Comeback.

      The last time I had a pair of floral jeans was during the summer of 2012, which may explain why they've seemed somewhat outdated to me since then. Once a trend reaches its peak, a certain level of fatigue is unavoidable, and after some rather dubious interpretations, many of us have opted for more timeless (or basic) choices. However, trends always come back around, and what once seemed stale is now becoming appealing again. Honestly, I’m warming up to floral jeans faster than I anticipated, partly due to a recent look by Elsa Hosk that showcased them beautifully. Seen in a high-waisted, flower-adorned pair from Chloé, Hosk's floral jeans featured soft pinks and bright yellows, adding a lovely touch to what could have been another plain outfit. These jeans were pulled directly from Chloé's spring/summer 2025 runway, but this revival isn't limited to just one collection. Floral denim is already appearing at Etro and Blumarine for autumn/winter 2025, and it's even included in Celine’s spring/summer 2026 offerings—a clear indication that this trend is here to stay.

      Naturally, the high street is quick to respond. Stores like H&M and Mango are starting to feature stylish floral jeans, making it easy to adopt this style without the hefty runway price. So, if your classic blue jeans are feeling overly familiar, consider this a sign to welcome florals into your wardrobe. Continue reading to check out the denim trend poised to dethrone basic jeans this season.
