Finding the best jeans is no small feat, but when refreshing your lineup, the latest denim trends always have something fresh and fun in store. This season’s styles lean into easy, nostalgic silhouettes that nod to the past while feeling completely now.
Bootcut jeans are back in the best way, barrel-leg fits continue to evolve with a sculptural edge, and baggy, relaxed styles prove that comfort and cool aren’t mutually exclusive. Ultra-soft denim delivers that perfectly broken-in feel from day one — Rag & Bone’s sweatpant jeans being one of the most coveted styles right now. Meanwhile, carpenter jeans strike the perfect balance between function and statement, with oversized pockets, contrast stitching, and workwear-inspired details that add instant character to any look.
The bottom line? Jeans should be an inspiring default, never a boring one. Ahead, shop the best styles that live up to that promise.
Carpenter Jeans
A little rugged, a lot cool. Oversized pockets, contrast stitching, and a relaxed straight-leg fit make this utilitarian-inspired trend the perfect blend of function and statement.
Barrel-leg Jeans
The trendy silhouette that keeps evolving. While some styles lean into oversized volume, others come in cleaner cuts that feel just as work-ready as they do weekend-cool. Plus, more brands are offering curve, petite, and tall fits that nail the shape for every body.
Bootcut Jeans
A classic making a comeback (we’re not not taking a little inspo from Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl flared surf jeans). With a waist-snatching high rise and a subtly flared leg, these bring a little throwback energy to any outfit.
Ultra-Soft Jeans
The kind of denim that feels like loungewear. With a broken-in softness from day one, these jeans prove you don’t have to sacrifice comfort for style.
Relaxed & Baggy Jeans
Whether high-rise and wide-leg or loose and straight, these cuts are slouchy in all the right ways. Worn puddled over sneakers or cuffed with heels, this laid-back fit is the definition of effortless cool.
Dark-Rinse Jeans
Crisp, polished, and moody. A deep indigo wash brings a dressed-up edge to denim days, whether styled for a night out or kept casual with a tee and cute flats.

Once strictly office attire, black dress pants have fully entered their cool-girl era. With a tee and sneakers, they bring polish to casual dressing. Swap in a feminine blouse or sleek knit, and suddenly, they’re ready for a night out. Top it off with a blazer, and you’ve got a look that means business — whether you’re actually heading to a big meeting or just craving a slick, confident vibe over espresso martinis.
The best pairs don’t just look good — they fit like a glove and are comfy enough for hours-long wear (including after you’ve kicked off your shoes). No weird gaping, no awkward sagging, just sharp, versatile silhouettes that work for any scenario. Whether you’re into wide-leg wool trousers, pleated styles, cropped and flared fits, or luxe silk and velvet options, we’ve culled the strongest picks from R29-reader-favorite retailers and brands.
Ahead, the best black dress pants worth adding to your rotation right now.
A bestseller for a reason — this magic-stretch wide leg is available in every fit, from standard to petite, plus, tall, and adaptive, proving great pants should be for everybody.
The ultimate workweek-to-weekend black trouser. Buttery soft with perfect pleats and a slouchy wide-leg fit, they’re polished enough for meetings yet relaxed enough for off-duty plans.
An under-$75 find that looks way more expensive. The lightweight linen blend and pleated waist make them a go-to for warm days and polished outfits alike.
A tailored take on nautical. With sharp button details and a straight-leg fit, these sailor-inspired trousers balance timeless charm with modern polish.
Paris Hilton is proving the 2000s never left. Fresh off pairing up again with her Simple Life costar and BFF Nicole Richie, the pop culture icon is reuniting with one of the signature cell phones of the Y2K era: the Motorola Razr. It’s a homecoming of sorts for Hilton, who helped launch the first pink Razr in 2005. “I’ve always thought of the Motorola Razr as the most iconic phone so to be now having my own Paris Hilton one is just so epic.”
The Motorola Razr+ Paris Hilton edition comes with the smartphone in a new Paris Pink shade and accessories like a vegan leather case, two wrist strap options, and, of course, a ‘That’s hot’ engraving on the phone’s spine. Inside the phone, there are exclusive ringtones and sounds including Hilton’s spin on the phone’s tagline “Hello Moto” and her single “BBA” (short for “Bad Bitch Academy”) from her second studio album Infinite Icon — “because every bad bitch needs to have this new Motorola Razr,” she tells me. The limited edition collection is available for $1,199.99 starting on February 13.
Once an LA socialite subjected to the mercies of tabloids and paparazzi, Hilton has since transcended to be a pop culture icon both reminiscent of the uninhibited, social media-free era she defined (who else can rightfully claim they invented the modern selfie?) but also a marker of reinvention as she’s since forged a path as a youth advocate testifying at Congress and solidified her place as a DJ and music artist. Ahead, Hilton talks about the nostalgic collaboration, her thoughts on the Y2K fashion revival, and the resilience of LA after January’s devastating wildfires.
Refinery29: Talk to me about the collaboration between you and Motorola for their new Razr+. How did it come together?
Paris Hilton: I have been a huge fan of Motorola for over 20 years. I actually launched their first pink Motorola Razr back when they launched it in [2005] so it’s been amazing to partner with them to create this Motorola Razr+ Paris Hilton edition. This is a dream come true
I mentioned your collab to folks at Refinery29, and we were all buzzing because it really took us down memory lane. As someone who not only lived but defined the Y2K era, what do you think about today’s 2000s trends revival?
The 2000s were the most fun times in fashion, nightlife, and just everything. It was the most fun and iconic and exciting era, and I love that I am the blueprint for it. Everyone is always saying, ‘Paris, you invented Y2K fashion. You’re the queen.’ So that always makes me feel really happy to see how ahead of my time I was and just to see so many people recreating my looks or just my catchphrases or things that I do. That’s why I was also so excited for this collab because it makes so much sense. When I think of a phone, I think of the pink Razr and now having my own is just so sick.
What’s one thing that today’s young generation should understand about the 2000s that perhaps they might not since they didn’t really live it?
It was such a different time because everybody was just very free and there wasn’t the social media platforms that we have now. Like, with nightlife and everything. I feel like it will never be like that again.
We’ve seen the return of ballet flats, the Juicy Couture tracksuits, and low-rise jeans. What’s anotherY2K fashion trendthat you think deserves a comeback?
I like everything coming back. I’m really obsessed with anything that’s sparkly. I love just covering things in Swarovski crystals. The butterfly hair clips, I’m obsessed with still. They’re so cute. Of course the low-rise jeans are so cute. In the 2000s, I used to wear these shoes — they were like tennis shoes that had the wheels pop out — those were so much fun. I think those need to come back because I would totally rock them again.
Fashion and function!
Yes, so much fun. Nicole [Richie] and I used to always wear them to the club and anytime a corny guy would try to hit on us or talk to us, we would just immediately skate away. So it was an easy way to get away from people that you don’t want to talk to.
I want to shift gears a bit. I have to admit, I came to Paris In Love late, but I devoured Seasons 1 and 2 in like three days and I cried during the episode when you spoke at Congress. You’ve confirmed Season 3 is coming. What can you share about what we can expect to see?
Oh, thank you. I’m so happy that you loved it. It’s so much fun doing the show and just with the kids, and going back and forth to DC has been so meaningful. I’m so proud to have passed federal legislation and I’m going to continue to do my work out there. I am always shooting everything in my life so people love that.
Another gear shift here. The Los Angeles wildfires were so devastating and I know you lost your Malibu home. First, I’m so sorry for that, for you. At the same time, it’s been really incredible to see our city come together and support each other. What message do you have for Angelenos who have been impacted and for all of us who are still trying to make sense of this tragedy?
It’s just been so heartbreaking and devastating to see so many people losing their homes and everything they own and their pets and family members. I’ve grown up in this town my entire life, so I’m doing everything I can to support. We’ve raised over $1 million for our aid relief, and I’ve just been going and donating time over at the Pasadena Humane Society with the animals. And Baby2Baby, they do such incredible work. The silver lining in this is just to see how resilient the people are here, how much everyone is supporting each other and helping each other out and I think that’s been really, in such a scary time, beautiful to see so many people just really looking out for each other.
I think nobody has obviously ever seen anything like this happen here so it’s just been horrible. I’ve been praying that everything will get better soon. This is going to take so much time to rebuild, but we are a resilient town. I know that everyone is going to come back strong because LA is strong.
I’ve got to say, I saw you DJ at an event last year, and girl, I was so entertained and vibing.
Oh, love you, honey. Thank you so much. That means so much to me. That was so much fun. I love performing and that was a sick party. So I’m glad that you were there to sliv with me.
Yes, always slivving.
Loves it.

Like what you see? How about some more R29 goodness, right here?
Welcome to Refinery29 Loves, the monthly news bulletin where you’ll find our editor-approved lineup of the best to shop and see in fashion and beauty right now.
Fashion Month is finally here to save us from the cold, dark winter nights. Just kidding, it’s still going to be cold and dark, but that doesn’t mean we can’t enjoy watching some outrageous beauty and fashion moments while firmly wrapped up inside in our blankets.
Of course, we’ve already had a little taste of what’s to come thanks to Men’s Fashion Week and Couture Week taking over Paris, as well as Copenhagen Fashion Week landing in Denmark’s capital. Tyla took on sub-zero temperatures by turning heads in a navy side slit dress at the Jacquemus Spring/Summer 2025 show and Jenna Ortega proved that black is the new black with her ultra-chic goth girl ensemble at Christian Dior.
There were plenty of eye-catching looks on the runways, too, with Willy Chavarria making the case for barely there brows and red hot lips and Schiaparelli proving that sometimes it’s about not overtaking the outfit by embracing a minimalistic slick-back bun. Plus, Copenhagen has been serving us all the street style inspo, with colored faux fur jackets, knitted hoods, and office-appropriate neck ties going straight on our mood boards.
As we head into the marathon of women’s shows lined up across New York, London, Milan, and Paris we’re still keeping one eye on all of the major fashion and beauty drops happening across February. From a designer luggage collaboration to a new bouncy mascara, click through to discover all the new launches heading your way this month.
J.Crew is teaming up with UK heritage brand Barbour for the first time since 2019, combining creative forces to make the perfect barn jacket. The pair’s answer to the on-trend outerwear piece is made with transitional-weather-friendly waxed cotton, lined with Barbour’s signature tartan, and features a corduroy collar. The limited-edition unisex jacket is available for $425.
Mango has dropped a new edition of its Selection Collection — a premium line that emphasizes high-level tailoring and luxe fabrics — for warm weather. Created with stylist Malina Joseph Gilcrest, the new drop digs into the contrasts of masculine and feminine wear with an array of structured and fluid pieces. Find high-neck silk blouses, oversized soft suits, trenches and leather jackets, a see-through knitted dress with long fringe, and so much more. The Mango Selection Spring/Summer 2025 Collection is available now, with prices ranging from $39.99 to $649.99.
Starface stickers are often seen to adorn famous faces including Justin Bieber, PinkPantheress, and Anne Hathaway to name just a few. This month, the skincare brand is flipping the switch, putting the famous faces on the stickers themselves. Returning after a long hiatus, the new drop features the beloved Hello Kitty cartoon characters, this time introducing two new friends into the fold: classic red bow Hello Kitty, bunny-eared My Melody, and black hat-wearing Kuromi. Plus, the collection also comes with a Hello Kitty Apple Star Lip Balm made with moisturizing shea butter and sweet apples.
Winter is wintering, which means two things are an absolute must: hydrating skincare and big warm layers. Thankfully, outdoor apparel label Halfdays has launched a collaboration with this in mind, teaming up with beauty brand ILIA on a limited-edition ski suit and face cream duo. For those hitting the slopes, the set includes the bestselling Lawrence jacket and Alessandra pants in ILIA’s natural lip blush shade, with each order coming with a full size of the lightweight Barrier Build Skin Protectant Cream.
ILIA x Halfdays Lawrence Jacket, $, available at HalfdaysGloRilla Becomes The First-Ever Savage X Fenty, Fenty Beauty, Fenty Skin + Fenty Hair Exclusive Partner
For the first time ever, all of Rihanna’s covetable Fenty lines — Savage X Fenty, Fenty Beauty, Fenty Skin, and Fenty Hair — have the same partner: GloRilla. The Grammy-nominated rapper was personally chosen by Rihanna for her authenticity and unapologetic style, and will star in Spring 2025 campaigns sporting products from each of the brands. “Rihanna has always been such an icon and inspiration and being chosen to represent her vision across Savage X Fenty and Fenty Beauty is an honor,” GloRilla said in a press release. “This spring season is all about celebrating confidence, boldness, and embracing your glow."
Cozy cardigan season is in full effect and lucky for us, Reformation is expanding its uber-popular Clara Cashmere Cardigan family (Olivia Rodrigo and Keke Palmer are fans!) with a whole bunch of new colorways. Made using a fine 5 percent cashmere and 95 percent recycled cashmere blend, the new selection includes a grey-and-baby pink argyle print and a sherbet lemon cable knit (our favorites!), as well as two other colorways. We expect the new drop to sell out faster than you say “hand wash only.”
Benefit has a long line of steadfast mascara fans thanks to its best-selling BADgal BANG and Roller Lash formulas. Now, the San Francisco-based beauty brand is bringing beauty lovers an entirely new lash-lengthening product. Introducing: BADgal Bounce. It’s all about creating fluttery, fluffy lashes thanks to the brush, which boasts a fine-tooth plastic comb on one side and full fiber bristles on the other. Packed with ingredients including provitamin B5 and castor seed oil for moisturizing lashes, not to mention rice wax for separation and definition, this promises to be the most volumizing formula yet.
Cos has just launched your next go-to handbag: the Alcove. Available in buttery black leather and rich brown and moss-green suedes, the Alove is a sculptural tote that folds over its center and features a top handle that can comfortably fit over your shoulder and a detachable zip-up pouch. Find it in stores and online for $320.
There was a time when Lauren Mize and Lamar McKinley, founders of resortwear online shopping platform Casalina, carried around an image — a model wearing a red-and-white striped bikini with a matching skirt — from Rowen Rose’s spring/summer 2023 collection. That’s how much the duo loves the Paris-based label. So, naturally, when they were ready to launch Casalina’s first fashion collaboration, they wanted it to be with Rowen Rose. Enter the new Rowen Rose x Casalina collection, which was inspired by the Amalfi Coast and the image Mize and McKinley held dear. The limited-edition capsule features five styles — all of which are red — that can be mixed and matched: a one-piece swimsuit with a keyhole cut-out, a bikini, a maxi skirt, and two vacation-ready dresses. Prices range from $230 to $525.
If you haven’t heard about growth factors by now, let us catch you up. Essentially a type of peptide, or protein, growth factors can stimulate skin cell growth over time, boosting the collagen and elastin which naturally depletes as we age. When used in skincare, they can have promising results for fine lines, with some calling growth factors "Botox in a bottle" — hence why they feature in Medik8’s latest serum. Packed with Dual MiniProteins™, the serum aims to combine the "deep penetration of peptides with the enhanced potency of proteins" helping to support skin structure and bring back firmness to the face. Further enhanced by moisture-grabbing hyaluronic acid and a skin barrier-saving prebiotic complex, the serum is all about achieving smoother skin.
It just got even more exciting to travel with a Rimowa suitcase. The high-end suitcase brand has teamed up with the Lord of Darkness himself, aka legendary designer Rick Owens. The collaboration infuses Owens’ minimalist edge with Rimowa’s sleek and minimalist design and sees the Original Cabin Bronze suitcase transformed using a manual pigmentation process. The result is a dark aged effect on the suitcases’ aluminum exterior, with each case having its own distinct finish. Plus, the interior has been upgraded to all-black leather and the suitcase is finished off with a cowhide luggage tag for a subtle touch of texture.
Calvin Klein returned to New York Fashion Week for the first time in six and a half years! Veronica Leoni’s debut collection featured men’s and women’s looks, promising to “mark a new era of innovation and creativity” for the label that has become synonymous with denim and sexy underwear, while still paying homage to its much adored Americana roots. Klein himself was in attendance at the show, which really leaned into the brand’s signature minimalist style.
There’s nothing we love more than a beauty bundle and this one just so happens to be endorsed by pop superstar Megan Trainor. Marking 10 years since her number one album, Title, e.l.f. has released an all-new product to celebrate: Halo Glow Powder Filter. Helping you to achieve "cloud skin," the pressed finishing powder is both lightweight and blurring, and is the key step to nailing a soft focus effect. Plus, the travel-friendly bundle also includes a new Glow Reviver Lip Oil Glimmer in a shimmering pink shade, as well as Halo Glow Liquid Filter and a limited-edition fluffy eye mask.
When it comes to hero products, Elemis’ Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm is top of the list. Packed with a triple blend of nourishing oils and moisture-enhancing macroalgae from the Mediterranean, the smooth balm is much-loved thanks to its ability to melt away makeup with ease. Now, Elemis has gone one step further and enhanced the experience by launching a black cherry edition. Vanilla and almond complement the juicy note and take the chore out of cleansing at the end of the day — it smells that good.
