Ripped jeans

If there is one detail that stands out about the most popular jeans this fall 2021, it is precisely the presence of rips. Rag & Bone imagines wide pants with wear and small tears at the knee that he combines with sweaters with an alpine air, while Celine includes them in several of her outfits, a perfect ally for a delicate blouse and cowboy boots. In the exercise that best summarizes the update of the preppy style in 2021, Monse summarizes those rebellious desires of the adolescent era through jeans that expand those tears and wear at various heights of the leg to be combined with a varsity jacket, one of the fetish pieces of autumn. An informal look that can also fit perfectly when we don't know what to wear to go to work

They're not the only ones: Maje and Balenciaga go for even more extreme rips (Demna Gvasalia even proposes ripping at various heights for a show-and-hide effect where you can even see military fabric underneath). As for Dsquared2, he prefers to balance the tears by embellishing the jeans with small beaded details.

Canadian tuxedo (or total denim look)

It is one of the maxims in 2021: the Canadian tuxedo, that is, wearing denim from head to toe, is an absolute trend this year that they are practicing even the most unimaginable fashion brands. Its subtly western touch is a logic that Alberta Ferretti proposes by including in her fall collection several sets of straight-leg jeans and matching denim shirt/denim jacket. It is about conceiving the color and appearance of both garments as if they were coordinated. That is why tailoring is another option to defend the total denim look, perfect for the office: it is the proposal, for example, by Daniel W. Fletcher, from Hermès, who proposes an even longer jacket, and also by Carolina Herrera , which replaces the classic blazer with a bomber jacket to give it an even more casual touch. Denim does not only live in blue: Marques' Almeida makes it clear that pink is a super appetizing alternative that can also become wide jeans and a historicist corset with ruffles on both sides of the hips.

Obviously, the easiest way to bet on a total denim look is also another alternative on the catwalk. The denim boiler suit is a bet by Takoon and also by Sea, which adds slightly puffed sleeves and in another, darker denim fabric. In winter, the key is layering: a good knitted sweater under and over, a powerful coat, with a special print like the leopard coat.

Long denim skirt

This is one of the trends that returns directly from the early 2000s: Christina Aguilera already wore a long denim skirt in which firms such as Dries Van Noten insist or Celine in her most purist modality. In 2021, the guideline is to go for a more adult version of that garment: its dark version can be a perfect office staple proposed by both Carolina Herrera (tighter) and Dior (more flared), combined with a white shirt or a checkered top and shoes with kitten heels (a more classic style that fits with the working girl style). Tory Burch starts from it to create a very seventies denim total look made up of a long skirt, blazer and shirt with V-necks in the Tony Manero style. One more alternative? Bet on a long denim skirt with a ruffle at the bottom, like the one we have seen both at Rokh and at Petar Petrov.

Very wide jeans

We talked about them a few months ago: one of the most popular jean silhouettes this fall 2021 temporarily banishes skinny jeans in favor of much more extreme patterns. It's the starting point of The Row with oversized pants that trail on the floor (yes, like in those teenage years), but it's combined with more 'adult' garments, such as an overlay of a knit sweater and shirt or e-shirt. even opera gloves, like Peter Do does. If Y Project also defends the longer version, Ganni opts for its baggy version, while Celine opts for a culotte version combined with cowboy boots, rather emulating western chaps.

Patchwork-effect jeans to go to work

The trend that emerged last summer among brands such as Alberta Ferretti or Marc Jacobs returns this fall in all its forms. It is an option to update that total denim look, as Ganni does in jeans made up of different scraps of denim or Sacai, in a jacket format. If Zimmermann combines it with corduroy for looks with a very 70s air, Mugler and Peter Do opt for a similar effect, which consists of contrasting the denim with black fabric through patchwork, always in descending bands along the leg.

Straight jeans

Another of the silhouettes that sets the tone this fall is precisely that of straight jeans, those that fall freely without squeezing the leg, but not without opening either. They are the jeans of a lifetime that we have seen in the collections of various firms as one of the indisputable allies of all the modalities of high boots that are trending this season. A plus? Bet on a slightly frayed hem, as Longchamp, Alexandre Vauthier or Rosetta Getty do.

'Acid' effect

Among the decorative motifs and effects to be worn on jeans, the ''acid'' effect that Dsquared2 or Tom Ford apply to straight-cut trousers, with a low that varies from mid-calf to be combined with lace-up boots up to the ankle, like allies of dizzying-heeled pumps. Marques' Almeida is the firm that gives this effect a twist by dyeing it pink in garments such as dresses.

Printed jeans

Another quite two-thousander revival involves changing the usual 'acid' or stone effect of the jeans for a kind of screen printing or motifs that play with the prints. This is the case of Blumarine, one of the firms that is most committed to rescuing the aesthetics that Britney Spears and co. marked at the beginning of the millennium. His are low-waisted jeans that collect flower motifs, a bit in line with the 'flames' of Ashley Williams' jeans. Marine Serre proves that any garment seems like a good place to do an exercise in logomania, including jeans: in brown, the designer prints her recognizable crescent moon on denim designs such as pants and vests.

Half Parted

Regardless of the trouser silhouette, there's one subtle detail that all jeans share this season: marking the pant crease, either by ironing it or by using a detail that runs all the way through. half of the leg from top to bottom. This is the case, for example, of the wide trousers by Zimmermann, the straight ones by Isabel Marant, the ankle-length trousers by Dior, the culottes by Rokh or the subtly bloomers by Alice and Olivia.

Oversize jacket

Forget the usual denim jacket: this season this garment adopts an XL pattern to be worn with shearling as a coat, like the 'grunge' aesthetic of LR13 or the ' college' de Monse. Alexandre Vauthier does not opt ​​for the classic 'oversize', but proposes a resounding silhouette with the help of some sharp shoulder pads rather typical of the 80s that mark the silhouette with a belt.
