Best 2024 Denim Trends to Try from Nordstrom
This post is sponsored by Nordstrom. Thanks for supporting the brands that work with AWSL.
Trends don’t play a big role in my wardrobe because I prefer to invest in things with longevity. I do make an exception for my jeans because I wear them so often, and they have a big impact on how modern I look… and feel. Today, I’m sharing the 3 denim trends that have been very popular in 2024 that I’ve added to my wardrobe from Nordstrom.
2024 Denim Trends and How to Style Them
1. Flare Jeans
Flare jeans are back, and I couldn’t be happier because they flatter every body silhouette and when styled properly, will help elongate the look of our legs. There’s something about the retro vibe of flare jeans that also feels fresh and fun for 2024.
If you want to try the flare trend, I highly recommend you try this Kelsey Flare from KUT from the Kloth. They come in regular and petite sizes and are just over $100. Some flares look very retro, but I prefer to dabble in this trend in a more subtle way, and these jeans work perfectly.
MORE FLARE JEANS
I paired this Nic+Zoe plaid fringe jacket with a classic white top to balance out the flare happening at the bottom of the outfit. I like that the slight ruffle collar pops out of the jacket and draws your eye upward. The cotton blend jacket adds the perfect amount of interest and makes for a great transition piece. I also like the juxtaposition of a dressier jacket worn with jeans.
I completed the outfit with this Longchamp crossbody. I love all of the bags I have from the brand, and this one is no exception. It’s small but fits all of my essentials and helps to bring out the silver colors in the jacket. I can easily remove the shoulder strap and carry it like a little purse, too.
Finally, footwear is key with flare jeans. I opted for these low-heeled Munro booties that I styled with all three styles of denim. Their block heel adds a bit of height but is still super comfy and stable to walk in. They come in sizes 5-11, medium and wide width. Their sizing, along with cushioned insole, makes Munro one of my go-to brands for shoes and boots.
2. Straight Leg Jeans
Straight-leg jeans have become a staple in my wardrobe. They’re the modern and timeless alternative to skinny jeans….which are, yes, coming back. The clean, streamlined silhouette is universally flattering, and the straight cut from hip to hem means they work well for both casual and more dressed-up occasions.
Being on the shorter side, I decided to try these straight-leg ankle jeans from Nic+Zoe. I’ve worn other pieces from the brand before but never their jeans until now. They fit true to size and are really comfortable with just enough spandex. The seam running down the front of the jeans also provides a nice slimming effect, which draws the eye up and down to elongate your silhouette.
These jeans hit at just the right spot on my favorite booties. The minimalist design, almond-shaped toe, and neutral color mean they’ll go with everything in my wardrobe this fall.
MORE MUNRO FOOTWEAR THAT CAUGHT MY EYE
The rest of the outfit is from the Nic+Zoe brand. The knit blazer and striped top can be worn together or separately all season long. They’re classic pieces that pair well with this modern straight-leg denim. I completed the look with this pleated scarf. I mentioned recently how I’ve been noticing the way some chic women are completing their outfits with a simple scarf. Some people think scarves are out of style, but I can assure you they’re not, and Nordstrom has lots of great ones this fall.

3. Wide Leg Jeans
Wide-leg jeans offer a refreshing change from the skinnies that dominated our closets for years. They’ve been around for a few seasons, so they are now more available at all price points and leg widths. I love their ability to elongate the legs by covering the top of your footwear, which creates a balanced silhouette. Whether you’re tall, petite, or somewhere in between, wide-leg jeans can look good on anyone.
I think this pair from Wit & Wisdom is one of the best pairs of wide-leg jeans at Nordstrom. They come in regular and petite sizes, go up to a size 18, and are under $100. The classic blue wash goes with almost anything while the high waist ‘Ab’solution powermesh panels hold you in.
I styled the jeans with my Vince sweater that I picked up during the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. The soft blend of cashmere and wool makes it a great sweater going into fall and winter. Plus, the glacier color is on trend right now.
Metallics are still a huge trend for fall 2024, so I decided to pair these wide-leg jeans with this top-handle woven bag. I know many readers are big fans of MZ Wallace bags, so I decided to see what’s up with the brand. Every bag I picked up felt as light as a feather, no matter the size, so of course, this mini weighs nothing! The silver packs quite a punch, so small doses look great. It also comes with a removable crossbody strap, which makes it even more suitable for my day-to-day life.
The final addition to the outfit that tied it all together is this wool and cashmere scarf. I like that it brings in colors from the shoes and the sweater to complete the look. It’s soft without being scratchy and will go with quite a bit I already have in my wardrobe.
Nordstrom is my favorite department store and one of my go-to places to shop, especially when it comes to denim. They always have the latest styles, including the best denim trends for 2024. They also offer BOPUS, ROTUS (reserve online, try on in-store), and curbside pickup. Nordstrom also offers free shipping both ways, plus their Nordy Club (free to join here) earns you notes to spend on future purchases.
What denim shape will you be reaching for this fall?
Hi Jennifer, I’m interested in the Munro booties you have on in these shots. In reading the reviews, some are saying that they run small and narrow. Have you found the booties fit true to your size or did you size up? Thanks…
I bought my normal 9.5 medium. I’m between a medium and wide usually. I didn’t find these ran small or narrow.
