If you’re anything like me, your drawers are packed to the brim with jeans. I’m talking pairs spilling out left and right, and it’s nearly impossible to fit them all without the drawer popping back open. (I love jeans, OK?) There’s just something about denim that stays timeless year after year—with a few new looks thrown in each season, of course. And though I’ll always have my go-to pairs, the 2021 men’s jeans trends are tempting me to add some fresh denim to my wardrobe—if I can get them to fit in my dresser, that is.

My obvious obsession with jeans aside, the denim trends for 2021 are so good. Think throwback vibes meet modern looks perfect for street style ensembles and Instagram photoshoots. While skinny jeans and distressed denim will always stay on-trend, we’re bringing some slightly less-obvious looks to the new year. And the best part? You can shop them all now and stay ahead of the curve. (!)

Plus, the 2021 men’s jeans trends are so easy to style—no matter your gender identity. Denim is for everyone, and the upcoming trends definitely reflect that. You can add your favorite pair of sneakers and a graphic tee to these jeans and stay looking cool the entire year. Or, opt for something a little bolder and add booties and a printed top to the trends. Regardless of how you choose to wear these 2021 trends, you’re going to leave everyone with their jaws on the damn floor.

Keep reading to peep the upcoming 2021 men’s jeans trends from runways like Kenzo, 8igb and Theophilio—and ways to shop them all, of course. You’re going to want to make some room in those overflowing drawers for these beauts ASAP.
