Denim fabrics are even making their way onto hats. Baseball cap or bucket hat, it doesn’t matter; as long as it’s made with a jean material, it’s right on trend. Retailers’ accessories departments are stocked with logo-laden styles from covetable labels like Anine Bing and Prada.
Streamlined soccer shoes and retro runners have ruled the streets for years, but even familiar styles feel fresh in this season’s denim finishes. Nike’s LD-1000 SE and Marc Jacobs’s 72 Spring Denim Sneakers bring an unexpected element to everyday athleisure sets and sweatsuits, though they wouldn’t look out of place in a casual office setting either.
If you thought suede was this year’s most desirable fabric, think again. We predict that denim handbags, shoes, and accessories will be a key street style trend throughout spring. The classic American material has been gaining traction, thanks to wider boho and Western trends, and it was noticeably present at Copenhagen Fashion Week (known to be a barometer for emerging trends).
To help you nail the look, we’ve highlighted the must-have denim shoes, bags, and hats. Trending styles from Miu Miu, Loewe, Gucci, Balenciaga, and other major labels are selling out fast—and prices will undoubtedly be steep on the resale market—so it’s wise to invest in the pieces you’re eyeing now. Like a good pair of jeans, these denim accoutrements only get better with age.

In recent seasons, designers have reimagined cult-classic silhouettes in denim fabrications—take the Coach Tabby, the Balenciaga City bag, and the Lady Dior, for example. Like suede, the fabric adds a tactile quality that makes timeless styles even more irresistible.

Denim ballet flats and Mary Janes have a distinctly laid-back feel. They can elevate basic jeans-and-tee attire, refresh poplin maxi skirts, and even serve as a foil for dressy officewear. And who cares if you scuff the toes? These are made to be worn, just like your favorite pair of ripped jeans.

The Denim Tote
A new category of It bag is emerging: the denim tote. The fashion crowd has begun flocking to monogrammed styles from Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Miu Miu, and other major designers. The wear and tear it receives over its years as a work bag or travel tote will only make it more of a vintage gem.

Jeans aren’t exactly a hallmark of preppy style, but that’s precisely what makes this spring’s denim loafers so appealing. Refreshed classics like Sperry’s patchwork boat shoes and Bottega Veneta’s Astaire loafers can breathe new life into basic button-ups and trousers you’ve relied on for seasons.

Stuck in a style rut? A new pair of pointed-toe denim pumps or kitten-heeled slingbacks may pull you right out of it. L’Agence and Loewe have incorporated design elements usually reserved for jeans(think grommets, belt loops, and contrast stitching).
