Denims are a wardrobe essential for all, age, gender, nationality no bar! The age-old norm of sporting denims has evolved, and if styled rightly, it can be worn on any occasion. Below are the top trends that were a rage in 2018 and will continue to be in vogue this year, too:

Ripped jeans

After being a rage in the 1990s, ripped jeans are still trending, and are definitely a must-have. To say that ripped denims have ever been out of vogue would be delusional. They never were, and will never be. Sassy, snazzy and comfy with a badass touch, ripped jeans can transform your look incredulously. Team it up with anything from a hoodie to a spaghetti top and turn heads for all the right reasons!

Boyfriend jeans

With their relaxed fit and lived-in look, boyfriend jeans are a denim-lover’s all-time favourite. The best part of boyfriend jeans is that they complement every body type, be it curvy or petite, apple-shaped or pear-shaped. And with these denims, you have ample legroom to look stylish sans looking too showy, so go and explore your ingenuity with a pair of comfy boyfriend jeans.

Faded jeans

While these denims are naturally faded visually, they can never fade from a fashionista’s radar. Faded jeans bring a hint of vintage along with comfort blended together like never before. The best part is that even if gets old, it will never go out of fashion.

Classic black jeans

It is the denim which no one can survive without. It complements almost every tee, top and sweatshirt in your wardrobe, and is perhaps your go-to piece of clothing when at sea. If teamed with a crisp white shirt, it can make for a great corporate look as well. A classic pair of black jeans is the textbook definition of versatility. It’s hard to believe one can live without a pair of this all-weather friend. All those factors make it a must-have in one’s wardrobe.

Coloured jeans

Having let one explore their creative styling ability like never before, times have clearly changed from highlighting one’s tops/tees to highlighting one’s denims. Go, grab a few pairs of the colours you’d love to drench yourselves in and unleash the fashionista in you!
