As a true denim enthusiast, I’m always on the lookout for the latest denim trends and best jean styles, and as we transition into autumn, there’s a new “It-jean” on the horizon: the barrel leg, also known as horseshoe jeans. Ever since the demise of the skinny jean in 2017, looser fits have dominated the fashion world. From mum jeans to dad jeans, boyfriend jeans, and beyond, comfort has reigned supreme.
