Denim trends shift toward flared and embellished styles for autumn

New denim trends are emerging for the autumn season, featuring a mix of embellished styles and retro silhouettes. Marks & Spencer has introduced embellished barrel leg jeans, priced at £46, which draw inspiration from high-fashion catwalks seen at Dior and Stella McCartney.

Additionally, flared jeans are returning as a prominent style for 2026, offering a boho-chic alternative to previous barrel leg trends. Brands such as Tommy Hilfiger are offering various iterations, including mid-rise stretch flares, high-rise designs, and wide-leg styles with belted waists.
