Hello! I’m Lauren, Marie Claire’s fashion editor, self-proclaimed minimalist, and shopping enthusiast with a penchant for spotting trends before they go viral. Today, I’m reporting to duty as this week’s A-List Edit guest writer and I couldn’t be more excited. So, let’s dive right in, shall we?
As someone who owns over a dozen pairs of jeans, I can proudly say that I’m a denim devotee. Some might call it obsessive, but I prefer to use the term practical. Either way, much of my denim trend knowledge comes from celebrity circles, as chic stars always seem to be ahead of the fashion curve. According to the glitterati, skinny jeans are officially out, and cigarette jeans are their 2026 replacement. Also to note, wide-leg bottoms have earned a prime spot in every It girl’s wardrobe and deep shades of indigo have become the denim wash of choice.
Ahead, I’ve analyzed how celebs are embracing these coveted denim styles. I’ve shared my own take on each look and shopped out my outfits for your convenience. Feel free to thank me later.
