Trend #1: 70’s High Rise & Wide Leg
These jeans scream "Dazed and Confused"! Of course the 70’s style typically makes a comeback for spring, Citizens of Humanity has created a trendier, modern approach. “Cut with a high rise meant to cinch your waist, this pair of denim is has a wide, flared fit. The vintage-inspired silhouette is accentuated with oversized patch pockets”. Not only are these jeans trendy, but your iPhone 6 plus can finally fit into your pant pocket! #ModernHippy

Trend #2: Feeling Ombré
Described to be an “ombré effect” at the cropped bottom. These denim have a “lived-in look and feel”. I know what you’re thinking, “isn't ‘ombré’ what my best friend just did to her hair?” Yes, but it’s also a fashion trend and has mostly been used for beach wear. (Basically a one tone tie-dye)

Trend #3: Fraying bottom
The intentionally raw hem would probably make your grandmother cringe; she has probably been the one that has disposed of all your un-intentional frayed bottom jeans when you were a child. We are seeing fraying bottom on not only cut off shorts, but now cropped pants such as the Melanies, as well as many jackets and tops, and yes, that guy on the subway is rocking it too, (un-intentionally). The fraying at the bottoms adds such a raw and urban look really spices these jeans up.
