J.Lo and Fashion People Agree—This Denim Color Trend Will Dominate in 2025

In the vast and ever-evolving world of women’s jeans, every season brings the introduction of new silhouettes that compete for the attention of celebrities and fashion-forward individuals. Various washes also vie for the spotlight, each hoping to become the leading denim color trend of the year. While the medium-blue wash has long held a prominent place, a sophisticated denim hue has resurfaced and is steadily gaining popularity among fashion enthusiasts: washed black jeans.

After conducting extensive trend research over the past few weeks, I’ve observed many European and American fashion trendsetters donning jeans in washed black—a faded black hue that exudes a vintage, well-worn aesthetic. Moreover, my weekend perusal of social media led to a delightful discovery: Jennifer Lopez gracing Instagram with a photo donning a pair of washed black jeans. She appeared sophisticated in tight-fitting jeans, a matching long-sleeve black turtleneck, and gold jewelry, thus creating a visually striking, tonal ensemble that born and bred New Yorkers, like Lopez, excel at.
