Men’s Spring Denim Trend Report

You may have caught on to the fact that denim is a big part of what Buckle is about, some may even say it’s in our DNA. Denim is the best of all worlds; a timeless classic, everyone has a go-to, and the trends are always introducing something to keep your selection fresh. This spring is no exception.

This spring, start here for updated fits, trending details, and all around better denim. These jeans are ones you will put on and not want to take off any time soon.

Streetwear & Destruction

We’re going to start things off with a two-for-one, because the more trends the better in our opinion.

Since we’re trending warmer and dressing cooler, it only makes sense that we would be combining our destruction and streetwear-inspired call outs. Destruction as been a constant in our warm-weather denim line-up for as long as we can remember, but the techniques and variety of those destructed details, well that’s where we will find something new.

Whether adding a bit of color or pattern underneath, playing with various levels from clean to completely destroyed, or simply where that destruction placed – destruction is here to stay (and make a statement).

Talking about statement, this is where we’re turning our eyes to streetwear inspired denim.

This trend is one that we’ve had on our radar over the last couple of years, but as it comes more into its own, we are investing more into our own closets. From unique details like paint splatters, moto-inspired paneling, and the overall slim silhouettes, to washes that range from traditional to anything but – street denim is a sure way to add some interest into your overall wardrobe with minimal work.

Light Washes

To keep that ‘trend’ going, let’s continue to lighten up – your go-to denim wash, in this case. Light washes are a tried-and-true for good reason. This spring we are embracing light washes of all types, starting with a medium, true blue wash like above. Not drastic enough? We have you covered. From acid washes, to sun-bleached blue, to everything in-between. We are keeping a close pulse on washes as an easy refresh to your favorite denim and making it easy by offering multiple washes in your go-to fits like the BKE Jake.

Slim Fits

Gone are the days of denim so loose they hang at your hips, or skintight silhouettes that don’t prioritize comfort. Slim fits instead are alive and well and demanding the spotlight for their timeless appeal and versatile wearability. Putting our slim fits on the map, many are offered in more of a stretch denim fabric – so while they look a little more polished, they are comfortable from the first wear.

When in a clean wash, slim fits are the poster child from transitioning from day (work, errands, etc.) to play (after work drinks, date night).

The non-negotiable, the fact that denim is truly a year-round staple, even when the temperature starts to pick up.

And guys, the denim of spring looks GOOD. All it’s missing is you.
