I'm a Stylist and These Are the 2 Denim Trends You Shouldn't Sleep On

In our Ask a Stylist series, we're tapping a new expert each month to weigh in with all of their style insights. Return each week for a professional's perspective on what to know in fashion.

Superstylist Dani Michelle has likely inspired the way you get dressed. I know that her styling has certainly impacted how I’m shopping and the trends I feel excited to wear. With a roster of major celebrity clients including Kendall Jenner, Kourtney Kardashian, and Shanina Shaik, there’s no question that she’s shaping what fashion looks like today and has a huge influence on what’s cool.

Curious to find out her take on the cool denim trends that matter in 2021, I asked her to share the silhouettes she’s adding to her clients’ wardrobes and deserve a place in our shopping carts. Rather than a long list of styles, she narrowed in on two key denim trends that feel directional and of-the-moment: oversize and low-rise jeans.

These two denim silhouettes may sound tricky to style at first but with a strong presence on the F/W 21 runways and the street style scene, you’ll see that they’re easier to pull off than you might think at first if you pay attention to some key styling tips. Ahead, the two cool denim trends stylist Dani Michelle is behind in 2021.

Loose proportions are having a moment with everything from upsized blazers to pants on the market. Now, baggy jeans are on the rise. A favorite trend of Dani Michelle's, oversize jeans simply feel cool, which is why you'll spot them in the wardrobes of every cool celeb and fashion insider. A departure from the skinny jeans that dominated fashion for years and years, oversize jeans have a trouser-like shape and '90s-inspired vibe that I can't get enough of.

Worn with a throwback mesh top at Our Legacy, this look is proof that aughts fashion is here to stay.
This outfit is proof that adding a trench, T-shirt, and sneakers is a no-fail look, no matter which denim silhouette you're wearing.
A simple halter tank is another foolproof way to style oversize jeans.

Low-rise jeans are the aughts comeback that I didn't see coming but now that they've arrived, it's impossible to deny that they're having a moment. Rather than the form-fitting jeans that were popular in the early 2000s, Dani Michelle recommends sticking with oversize silhouettes to make them more wearable and more fashion-forward. Style them with anything from a crop top to a sports bra and a blazer.

Midriff-baring looks are in and low-rise jeans are the perfect way to tap into the trend. This look on the runway at Y/Project showcases how to dress up the jeans by adding a cropped scarf print top.
I love the idea of styling low-rise jeans with bikini bottoms underneath for an intentional pop of pattern.
More proof that you'll want to layer a cool printed swimsuit under your low-rise jeans.

Next, the new fashion finds I'm obsessing over right now.

I Tried the Viral One-Leg Jeans, and I Got Plenty of Stares

If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
