September’s back-to-school mood (I know, we keep going on about it) might have nudged denim out of the picture a touch, but there were still some solid workaday moments to be found in the street-style circus of spring/summer 2025. If tailoring trumped last season’s tinselly jeans , then die-hard denim lovers retaliated with smart dark washes that looked crisp, and primed for autumn’s pumpkin-spiced Pantones (see Harry Styles for notes on how to actually pull off orange ). Double denim was, of course, present and correct, with weary showgoers turning to the hardworking Canadian tuxedo when faced with daily front-row outfit conundrums.
Off-duty models shrugged oversized vintage leather aviator jackets – the autumn cover-up – over their otherwise all blue canvases to toughen things up and at least nod to the ever whirring trend cycle. Unsure of your next silhouette? Forget skinnies , barrel legs and the rest. Despite all the noise in the denim space, straight-leg jeans worn high on the hip and slightly loose on the leg were the only style making strides in each city.
Size up for a relaxed look that says you didn’t actually need to see these 23 pictures of good jeans days, and go a shade or two towards indigo, in line with the season’s chosen palette. Stone-washed favourites can come out again next summer, by which time we will no doubt we’ll be waxing lyrical about another cult trouser style in the making..
