🚫 3 Denim Trends to STOP Wearing in 2026 (and what to wear instead ✨) If you want your jeans to instantly look more modern (and more flattering), these are the 3 denim trends I’d retire in 2026 👇🏻 ❌ 1. Overly ripped jeans ✅ Swap for a high-waisted wide-leg like these light-wash Mother jeans—so slimming, leg-lengthening, and perfect for spring. ❌ 2. Overly frayed hemlines ✅ Go for a clean hem like these Harper straight-leg jeans by AGolde—classic and goes with everything. ❌ 3. Low-rise skinny jeans ✅ Instead, try the cigarette jean (my favorite trend of 2026!) like these DL1961—high-waisted, tapered ankle, and insanely flattering. ✨ All of these run true to size — I’m wearing a 24 in all three LTKootd LTKSeasonal LTKOver40

The perfect spring jacket does exist 🤍✨

This cropped ivory vegan leather jacket instantly elevates any outfit. I love the flattering cropped fit and the soft neutral color — it truly goes with everything. Plus, it’s lightweight enough for spring and even cool summer nights.

Styled it 3 ways:
• With my slimming Khaite jeans (linked exact pair without studs + similar studded option)
• With my Mother wide-leg jeans and a gray cardigan
• With my DL1961 black cigarette jeans (so good!)

All denim runs true to size — wearing a 24 in the jeans and an XS in this must-have jacket 🤍

Spring dress season is officially HERE and this Quince cashmere blend ribbed midi dress is an absolute must.

It’s under $100, insanely chic, and I literally own it in THREE colors because it’s that good. It’s ribbed, super slimming, and somehow manages to be form-fitting without feeling too tight (aka the holy grail).

Plus… it’s wrinkle-free which makes it perfect for travel, errands, dinner dates, or those days you just want to look put together with zero effort.

It also comes in 5 gorgeous colors and is the perfect piece to transition you right into spring!

I styled it two ways for y’all:

Look #1: paired with the real leather chocolate brown Quince blazer — such a timeless wardrobe staple I wear on repeat. 🤎

Look #2: styled with this stunning navy blue suede cropped jacket — the color combo with the gray is SO good and feels elevated but still effortless.

✨ Everything runs true to size. I’m wearing an XS in the dress and an XS in both jackets.

One of the hottest denim trends of 2026 is also (in my opinion) one of the most slimming… and it’s the cigarette jean. ✨✨✨

I just got this pair from DL1961 and I’m obsessed. The rise is perfection, the wash looks super luxe (that perfect dark-to-medium denim), and the back pockets are placed exactly where you want them for the most flattering fit.

They hit right at the ankle bone (or slightly below) which is exactly how a cigarette jean should fit. And yes—they have stretch, so they’re comfortable… but still give that snatched, sleek leg look.

Trust me, these are about to become your new go-to jeans. 🙌

They run true to size—I’m wearing a size 24 and highly recommend!

Day 6 of my 7-Day Denim Series and we’re talking about one of 2026’s biggest denim trends… the skinny flare 👖✨ And let me tell you—these Veronica Beard skinny flares might just be the most universally flattering jeans on the market. 🙌🏼 ✔️ Legs look MILES long ✔️ Hugs your curves in all the right places ✔️ Snatches the waist ✔️ The perfect going-out jean I styled them with a lace bustier and this fabulous cropped silk blazer for the ultimate elevated denim moment. 🔥 Also… Happy Valentine’s Day 💘 Wishing you so much love today, no matter what your relationship status is. Love day is for everyone. 🤍 ✨ Fit details: Jeans run true to size — I’m wearing a 24 Jacket + bustier — wearing an XS

This Madewell high-collared denim bomber jacket is the biggest jacket trend we’re seeing everywhere for 2026 and I totally get the hype. It’s structured, flattering, and instantly makes any outfit look more elevated. Here’s how I took it from wearing to styling: ✔️ Popped the collar + buttoned it at the top ✔️ Pushed up the sleeves (instant cool-girl vibe) ✔️ Tucked in my top + added a belt to define the waist ✔️ Swapped my black heels for ivory heels to create a more cohesive look + make my legs look longer ✔️ Added sunnies ✔️ Grabbed a high-quality handbag for that polished finish These little styling tweaks are honestly guaranteed to elevate any outfit. And if you only add ONE jacket to your closet this season…let it be a high-collared bomber denim jacket. This one is SO good. Sizing: wearing an XS in the jacket + 24 in the jeans.

Spring layering, but make it cool 🤍

This light wash denim bomber by Blank NYC is so good. The price point is amazing, and this soft light blue denim is absolutely perfect for spring — fresh, modern, and easy to style.

I paired it over an all-ivory ensemble for that elevated, effortless vibe we love. It’s the kind of jacket that instantly makes your outfit look styled without even trying.

Runs true to size — wearing an XS in the jacket and a 24 in the denim

The Perfect Spring Bomber Jacket 💗>>> This pale pink faux fur–lined jacket instantly dresses up denim and makes the prettiest spring statement. I styled it with the matching bustier top and my favorite Mother Rider high-waisted straight-leg jeans — they have that cigarette-jean feel but with a modern silhouette. Such a fun, flattering look for spring dinners, date nights, or a GNO.

Can’t get over how these snake-print slingbacks instantly elevate every outfit — they’re the perfect mix of classic and bold for spring + summer. I love a pointed-toe slingback for elongating the leg, and the neutral snake pattern makes them so easy to wear with everything from tailored trousers to dresses. Such a stealable closet staple that doesn’t break the bank — wear them to dinner, weekend brunch, or date night and watch them do all the work.

#LTKootd #LTKSeasonal #LTKOver40

Spring date night outfit idea 💕 This pale pink bomber jacket with faux fur lining is equal parts feminine and edgy — and yes, it’s actually warm. I love the champagne gold zipper and luxe faux fur collar layered over the matching pink bustier for a chic monochromatic moment. Paired with high-waisted Mother Rider straight-leg jeans (that slightly tapered ankle is so flattering), this is the perfect girls’ night or date night look.

If you want to look modern and chic in 2026, skip denim with heavy fraying at the hem. Instead, opt for clean hem jeans like these — they instantly make your outfit feel elevated and current. I love this light-to-medium wash and the high-to-mid rise fit; they’re super comfortable and the back pockets are perfectly placed for a flattering shape. I paired them with this denim jacket that cinches at the waist, which gives you beautiful definition and keeps a denim-on-denim look feeling tailored, not boxy. It’s polished, streamlined, and so easy to wear. Wearing XS in the jacket and 24 in the jeans. 💙

🚫 Out vs. In:
3 Jacket Trends for 2026

1️⃣ Out: Moto jackets with tons of hardware In: Minimal, sleek, cropped jackets – like the one I’m wearing from Ever Eve. This short-sleeve vegan leather jacket is such a perfect transitional piece to ease you into spring!

2️⃣ Out: Shrunken, ripped denim jackets In: High-collar bomber jackets – I’m loving my Madewell denim bomber here. The fit is impeccable, and it’s such a chic, effortless layering piece.

3️⃣ Out: Puff-sleeve jackets In: Dolman-sleeve bomber jackets – this one I’m wearing is a $44 faux suede bomber from Amazon! Comes in four gorgeous colors, and it’s soft, lightweight, and oh-so-easy to wear. All the jackets I’m wearing are extra small, paired with these uber-slimming Agolde jeans, size 24. ✨ For even more jackets that are out (and what to wear instead!), check out my YouTube video from yesterday—link’s in my stories!.

#LTKgrwm #LTKootd #LTKOver40

Spring outfit of the day and I’m obsessed 🤍 This cropped short sleeve faux leather jacket is such a good find (and comes in black too!). Paired with ultra-slimming DL1961 cigarette jeans and snake print kitten heels for an easy polished look. I’m wearing an XS in the jacket and 24 in the jeans.

#LTKootd #LTKSeasonal #LTKOver40

The kind of casual outfit you’ll reach for on repeat 🤍 A cropped jacket instantly elevates classic straight leg jeans, and these kitten heels add just the right touch of polish. These Amazon sunnies for $15 make it even better! Wearing an XS in the jacket and a size 24 in the jeans.

#LTKootd #LTKOver40

The bomber jacket trend is still going strong, and this vegan leather version is such a chic, wearable way to try it. I love zipping it halfway and tucking it under for a slightly cropped fit — it defines your waist and gives that effortless, cool-girl shape. The Dolman sleeves add structure without bulk, which makes the whole look feel modern and flattering. I paired it with these insanely slimming cigarette jeans in a dark wash — the fit is incredible and the back pockets are perfectly placed to lift and shape. This is one of those outfits that instantly makes you look polished, streamlined, and put together. Wearing XS in the bomber jacket and 24 in the jeans. ✨

#LTKootd #LTKSeasonal #LTKOver40

Casual #OOTD but make it chic 👏 This cropped vegan jacket + high-waisted straight leg jeans combo is one of my go-to everyday outfits. Styled with Amazon sunnies (under $20!), kitten heels, and a baseball cap for that effortless off-duty vibe. I’m wearing an XS in the jacket and 24 in the jeans.

There’s nothing I love more than putting together a look that makes you feel confident, feminine, and a little bit powerful.

I wore a one-shoulder top from Revolve (on sale right now for under $100 🙌🏼). The slate blue color is stunning — such a beautiful, elevated going-out shade.

I paired it with my leg-lengthening black flares from Veronica Beard that literally make your legs look miles long. Such a chic, flattering night-out combo.

Both pieces run true to size — I’m wearing an XS in the top and a 24 in the denim.

#LTKgrwm #LTKOver40 #LTKootd

Jacket trend #3 to stop wearing: frayed-hem jackets. The raw edges can feel messy and dated.

Instead, try a bubble hem jacket like this one. It’s faux suede (so soft and luxe-looking), comes in four gorgeous colors, and it’s under $50 — such a steal for how elevated it looks. I’m wearing a size small and it runs true to size.

Styled again with my AGOLDE Lena high-waisted flares (size 24). The most flattering high-rise flare and the perfect pairing with this silhouette.

Such an easy way to look modern and polished without trying too hard 🤍

#LTKOver40 #LTKgrwm #LTKootd

Jacket trend #2 to retire: overly ripped, fitted denim jackets. All the distressing + super tight fit can feel dated and a little try-hard.

Instead, go for a denim jacket in a modern bomber silhouette like this one from Madewell. I love the high collar and the relaxed shape — it feels current, polished, and effortless. The blue denim wash is beautiful and so versatile. It runs true to size — I’m wearing an XS.

I paired it with my AGOLDE Leena high-waisted flares (size 24). Such a flattering cut and the perfect high-rise flare.

An easy switch that instantly updates your denim look 🤍

#LTKOver40 #LTKootd #LTKgrwm

Jacket trend #1 to stop wearing: moto jackets with tons of hardware. All those extra zippers and snaps can feel dated and busy.

Instead, try a minimal, modern vegan leather jacket like this cropped short-sleeve style from Ever Eve. The neutral color goes with everything (it comes in black too!) and it runs true to size — I’m in an XS.

Paired with my AGOLDE Lena jeans (size 24) for the most slimming, flattering fit. Such an easy swap that instantly feels more current 🤍

#LTKOver40 #LTKootd #LTKgrwm

These are the best-selling Mother high-waisted wide-leg jeans for a reason. I own them in all three washes because they’re that good—but this faded black might be my favorite. So edgy, so chic, and they literally go with everything. They’re just as comfortable as they are slimming, with a high waist and a floor-skimming hem that makes your legs look miles long. Magic denim ✨ They run true to size—I’m wearing a 24. Trust me, these are a closet MUST HAVE!

#LTKgrwm #LTKootd #LTKOver40

If you want a jean that’s slimming and comfortable, let me show you me go-to going out jeans! I wear these Mother jeans on repeat because they hold you in, lift in all the right places, and still feel great all night or all day long. Styled with an easy jacket for a polished but relaxed outfit of the day. I'm wearing a size 24 and I find the fit true to size.

#LTKootd #LTKSeasonal #LTKOver40

If you’re building a chic winter wardrobe, you need a great cashmere sweater… and this one from Quince is seriously one of my best finds. 🤍 This is their Shrunken Cashmere Sweater and I wear it ALL the time. It’s real cashmere, insanely soft, and the price is honestly hard to believe. Plus it comes in several colors, but I’m especially obsessed with this navy blue shade. Styled 3 ways: ✨ Look 1: with my L’Agence cigarette jeans (SO slimming + so comfortable) and a navy faux fur for that polished winter vibe. Everything runs tts, I’m Wearing an XS in the sweater and 24 in the denim.

#LTKgrwm #LTKootd #LTKOver40

The perfect lace bodysuit for date night or GNO 💋 This is such a fab going-out top for Valentine’s — the lace detail is gorgeous, the sleeves are sheer, and I absolutely love the back. It’s feminine but still has that subtle edge when styled with denim. I’m wearing an XS and it runs TTS. And these Mother jeans are so, so good ✨ They’re a high-waisted baby flare in the most flattering dark wash — slinky, classy, and perfect for showing off your favorite heels. I’m wearing a size 24 and they run TTS.

#LTKgrwm #LTKootd #LTKOver40

This is officially my favorite new jacket 🤍 The Madewell high-collared denim bomber is hands-down the biggest jacket trend for 2026, and I love how it gives structure without feeling stiff. The tailored shape defines the waist, while the cropped length makes high-waisted jeans look even more flattering. I styled it by popping the collar, cuffing the sleeves, adding a belt, and switching to ivory heels for a longer, leaner silhouette.

It’s the kind of denim jacket that instantly makes your outfit look styled instead of just thrown on.

3 under-$100 pieces I’m OBSESSED with right now 🤍✨ If you’re wanting that expensive, elevated look without spending a fortune… these are so good. 1. Light Blue Cashmere Sweater (under $100!)

Quince Straight Leg Jeans ($50!!) 👖 These jeans fit and feel like designer denim. So flattering, so comfy, and the straight leg cut is perfection for spring and summer. Wearing size 24 x 28. 3.
