A pulse-check on skinny jeans revealed only the faintest of heartbeats at the Magic and Project trade shows in Las Vegas.
Wide-leg silhouettes will continue to dominate in Spring/Summer 2025, according to women’s denim brands at the event. But adding interest—both visual and tactile—to these comfort-driven styles is a must.
Holly Arnesen-Sileo, executive vice president at Los Angeles-based Liverpool Jeans Company, said the brand is focused on wearability when it comes to denim styling for spring. Soft, stretch-forward fabrications, wide-leg and straight-leg silhouettes and even elastic backs on waistbands lend a vacation-ready, travel-friendly element to the styling. “Definitely the wide, more relaxed styles are still happening,” she said.
The group’s Rascal silhouette is a pull-on cropped denim pant with a drawstring waist and a bit of hidden elastic for easy wearing. Also offered as a short, the style bridges the gap between loungewear and casual wear. Arnesen-Sileo said the pieces are strong sellers for the brand, along with a wide-leg crop style which hits below the knee—a modern take on the capri pant that dominated the early aughts.
