Dark blue jeans are undoubtedly trendy for Fall 2025, but there's also another sophisticated denim wash that's gaining popularity.

      If you've gone through our fall trend guide or any of our latest shopping lists, you probably know that dark blue or indigo jeans are a major denim trend for fall 2025. However, since the denim selection is quite extensive, dark blue is not the sole shade set to dominate this season; black is also making waves. Designers such as Agolde, Toteme, and Khaite have backed black jeans, as have fashion influencers like Elsa Hosk, who was recently seen in a pair. This week in NYC, Hosk donned high-waisted, slim black jeans that draped over her Prada pumps. She styled them with a simple leather belt, a white T-shirt, and a refined leather jacket that tapered at the waist, achieving a sophisticated everyday look based on elevated essentials.

      On Elsa Hosk: Helsa The Peplum Leather Moto Jacket ($998); Prada Antiqued Leather Pumps ($1450); DL1961 Bridget Boot High Rise Instasculpt Jeans ($209). You may view black jeans as a timeless fall wardrobe essential—and indeed, they often are. Interestingly, their presence was minimal last fall. However, this year? They are making a comeback, and fashion insiders are already adopting them ahead of the colder months. This isn't surprising, as their uniform wash exudes a polished and sleek aura. If you're looking to add a new pair to your wardrobe, consider options with a high or mid-rise silhouette and a straight-leg or slightly boot-cut hem. Keep scrolling to find the top styles and items needed to replicate Hosk's stylish city outfit.
