When thinking of fall fashion, jeans are often the first item that comes to mind—especially the latest denim trends and styling options. For fall 2025, the standout denim trend is undoubtedly a new color: khaki jeans. The appeal of this trend lies in its surprise factor. Khaki jeans may not have been on your radar a year ago, but they're now widely seen everywhere. Influencers and celebrities are wearing them regularly this season, leading to a rapid increase in popularity. Consequently, brands are quickly releasing khaki jeans, which are flying off the shelves. Scroll down to see how this trending denim looks on, hear first-hand feedback from our editor models, and shop the exact khaki jeans they wore, along with their complete outfits.
Interested in trying the khaki jeans trend but unsure how to begin? If you lean toward baggy styles, consider adding this 7 for All Mankind pair to your Nordstrom cart. Get all the details below featuring our senior fashion and social editor, Tara.
Tara's thoughts on the jeans: "Anyone who knows me understands that I usually don't gravitate towards jeans. However, this 7 for All Mankind pair opened my eyes to the potential fun of khaki jeans. The warm color was inviting and had a worn-in feel like something I’d find thrifting, which I love. The silhouette was flattering, hugging my hips and rear perfectly while giving me ample space in the legs without being oversized. I also adored how well this color pairs with bold shades like red. It feels like an underrated neutral that complements brighter pieces without being as predictable as black or navy."
Styling tips: A trendy way to style khaki jeans for fall 2025 is by tying a plaid shirt around the waist. It offers a hint of '90s grunge while remaining modern and fresh. While khaki jeans can be styled with additional neutrals, pairing them with vibrant primary colors is very effective. Finish your look with affordable Dr. Martens mules.
Shop the jeans: 7 for All Mankind Tess Twisted Seam High Waist Straight Leg Jeans ($248). The unique twisted-seam detail and authentic faded wash of these 100% cotton jeans make them a valuable addition to your fall attire. Trust us—you’ll wear them frequently.

If you're into the barrel-leg denim trend, you’ll want to check out the khaki jeans our associate shopping editor, Audry, tried. Scroll down to see more.
Audry's thoughts on the jeans: "Here’s something surprising: I currently don’t own any jeans. I’m devoted to dresses and skirts, though I recently bought a pair of capris that I love. So trying on khaki jeans was uncharted territory for me. Nevertheless, khaki denim is quickly becoming a defining trend in 2025. It’s somewhat divisive, but Still Here’s khaki Sport Jeans have made their way into many editors’ feeds. I tried a pair from the L.A. brand Pistola: mid-rise, non-stretch, straight-leg, and relaxed fit. Surprisingly comfortable."
Styling tips: When envisioning an elegant fall outfit, it resembles this one. The brown suede coat adds depth, while a red sweater worn as a scarf introduces a vibrant splash of color. Complete the ensemble with ankle boots, a staple for many during fall.
Shop the jeans: Pistola Lexi Mid Rise Bowed Straight Leg Jeans ($158). These relaxed-fit Pistola jeans are selling out for good reason; they’re classic yet the bow-shaped leg gives them a modern touch. With a 29-inch inseam, it’s likely you won't need to have them hemmed, even if you’re petite.
