Statement Denim Is Summer's Biggest Fashion Trend

Statement Denim Is Summer's Biggest Fashion Trend

From sparkling crystals to feminine pearls, here's why statement denim is the trend every wardrobe needs this summer.

There's something about summer that calls for effortless outfits. Instead of piling on layers, accessories, and bold prints, this season is all about letting one standout piece do the work. That's exactly why statement denim has become one of the biggest trends of the moment.

Wide-leg silhouettes, unique embellishments, modern hardware, and artistic washes are transforming everyday jeans into the focal point of an outfit. Whether you're headed to brunch, vacation, a concert, or date night, statement denim instantly makes even a simple tank or bodysuit feel elevated.

Here are some of our favorite ways to wear the trend.

Crystal Details That Catch Every Ray of Sunshine

Nothing says summer quite like a little sparkle.

Our Crystal Stardust Embellished White Denim Jeans (83337) prove that white denim doesn't have to be basic. Covered in delicate crystal embellishments that create a subtle stardust effect, they're the perfect choice for vacations, rooftop dinners, bridal events, or anytime you want to brighten your look.

The dramatic black crystal side panels create movement and dimension while keeping the classic feel of your favorite medium-wash jeans. Pair them with a sleek bodysuit and heels for an effortlessly fashion-forward outfit.
