A brisk autumn day calls for cashmere cardigans, trench coats, leather jackets, and loads of denim. I’m talking about denim pants, denim jackets, denim skirts—you name it. Given that temperatures are beginning to drop below 70 degrees (go ahead and cue up an episode of Gilmore Girls and order a pumpkin spice latte while you’re at it), the latest fall 2024 denim trends are more relevant than ever.

So, what sort of twill-woven styles are most popular this season? If you take a look back at the Fall 2024 runways, you’ll notice an array of silhouettes from baggy shapes to sculpted designs. You’ll also find that dark wash denim and patchwork denim (of various shades) have entered the trend chat. And of course, standard straight-leg jeans aren’t going anywhere.

To round out your fall capsule wardrobe with trending denim styles, look no further than Nordstrom and Neiman Marcus. Not only do both retailers have an impressive range of stylish denim pieces, but they’re also hosting major sales. At this very moment, Nordstrom is offering up to 60 percent off certain items until Tuesday, September 10. Meanwhile at Neiman Marcus, you can score up to $250 off select designer styles until Friday, September 6.

Keep scrolling to discover a $50 pair of black jeans from Mango, an under-$200 denim dress from Reformation, and plenty of other discounted denim items you’re guaranteed to wear all fall long.

Shop On-Sale Baggy Jeans

According to labels like Zimmermann. Brandon Maxwell, and Michael Kors, billowing bottoms are à la mode this fall. Some designers like Alaïa have even taken things a step further with barrel jeans that convey a “more is more” message. Follow suit by slipping into a pair of roomy denim pants that look like they’ve been filled with helium.

Shop On-Sale Dark Wash Jeans

The Fall 2024 fashion week circuit witnessed a slew of dark wash jeans—namely on the runways of Carolina Herrera, Victoria Beckham, and Versace. Nevertheless, this inky style is nothing new. More so than any other type of denim wash, dark wash jeans exude a sense of sophistication that can elevate any look. Whether you’re heading out for a classy night on the town or attending a celebratory dinner, consider pairing the styles below with a sumptuous silk blouse, a sharp tailored blazer, and sleek kitten-heeled boots.

Shop On-Sale Patchwork Denim

Looking to make a statement with your denim? Chloé, Stella McCartney, and Fendi believe that the best way to do so is by playing with patchwork. A contrasting assortment of frayed fabric gives off an edgy feel that will easily make heads turn. Choose to go all out with denim plastered in several patches or keep things simple with a two-toned design.

Shop On-Sale Straight-Leg Jeans

If there’s one thing for certain, it’s that straight-leg jeans will always prevail. Bally, Ganni, and Lutz Huelle all championed this timeless style in their Fall 2024 collections, demonstrating that streamlined cuts are here to stay. Ahead, you’ll see similar styles that you can wear for many seasons to come.

Shop On-Sale Sculpted Denim

During the Fall 2024 fashion week season, designers like Schiaparelli, Carolina Herrera, and Christian Dior favored sculpted denim that hugged the waist and hips for a flattering appeal. Lean into the look with cinched denim dresses and fitted denim tops. For an added feminine touch, opt for accessories that embody the girlhood aesthetic (such as ballet flats, dainty hair bows, and charming pearl jewelry).
