de denimtrends voor damesmode FW26

Denim, with its origins in workwear, is often used as the basis for a simple everyday uniform. Width, length and decorations usually form the greatest extremes. However, the robust material offers more room for maneuver than it seems at first glance.

Instead of the eternal question of whether women will wear tight or baggy pants this winter, designers from London to New York are presenting special pieces that make traditional jeans look outdated.

Special jackets

The denim jacket is a true classic. In recent decades, the item has changed mainly due to different colors, lengths and personalization such as embroidery and patches. However, such a garment has much more to offer than just a simple transitional jacket. The designers prove this in their FW26 collections.

The options vary from a very large collar, which lies almost like a towel around the neck, to extra epaulettes, pleats, asymmetrical cuts and layers. Also on display are a knee-length coat with pleats, a cool, extremely short version with long sleeves and an elegant version with an extra denim train.

Adaptable

It’s not just the denim jackets that stand out this season. Pants and skirts also offer options outside the usual models. The emphasis here is mainly on adaptability.

Designers show various possibilities for a versatile garment with different styling options. British fashion designer Stella McCartney presents a pair of jeans with two vertical zippers that run from the waistband down the entire leg. This allows the silhouette to be adjusted symmetrically on both legs or asymmetrically on one side. The New York brand Eckhaus Latta plays with multiple layers. Two long jeans legs with cutouts in the crotch lie over short shorts to which they are attached. A kind of loincloth over long jeans from the American brand Tibi and an item from the British brand JW Anderson, which is a cross between a skirt and capri pants with extra layers, also offer extra leeway.

Between palazzo pants and long skirts

Wearers gain even more panache by choosing a long denim skirt – from high to low waist – or wide palazzo pants. With the different denim looks it is sometimes difficult to distinguish whether it is two wide trouser legs or a skirt opening.

Other brands, such as Masha Popova, play more with a similar shape. The London label combines regular jeans with a wide, floor-length train, imitating the silhouette of the skirts and palazzo trousers.

Mini

A long train can also be seen at the American jeans brand 7 For All Mankind, but in combination with a very short pencil mini skirt. This is combined with a matching denim jacket and dark tights.

In general, the motto for autumn/winter 26 seems to be: if the skirts become shorter, at least a long sleeve is worn above. This is also presented by the brands Keburia and Diesel, which respectively send a pleated skirt and extremely short shorts without legs onto the catwalk.

Flower decorations

A true classic and a recurring trend is the floral pattern, which again adorns various jeans and jackets this season. It is striking, however, that a subtle pattern was hardly an option in most cases. In many models, the flora climbed up the trouser leg or, as a repetition, was widely spread over the entire garment. The styles vary from subtle embroidery and prints in one color to full pops of color and flaunting details.
