There are so many different types of jeans in the world, and they all seem to come with their own styling guide. How to style barrel jeans—one of fall 2025’s biggest denim trends, for example—is not necessarily going to be the same as how to wear baggy pants or skinny jeans.

The beauty of barrel-leg jeans, however, is that they’re bringing something new to the table. We all might have a classic pair of bootcut or wide-leg pants in our closet, and we often find ourselves wanting to mix and match them with a new top or different shoes. This denim style comes with a totally fresh perspective, which means even the most basic T-shirt from your dresser drawer suddenly looks cool and modern.

A quick aside to talk about what a barrel jean is, exactly: Also known as balloon jeans, they’re defined by having a higher waistband that widens at the hips and narrows again at the hem. They’re often ankle-length, but not always. Regardless, the result is the same—a balloon or barrel silhouette. The pants first started trending last spring and are absolutely everywhere this fall, which means they’re on their way to become a classic standard soon enough.

Below, here are 3 ways fashion pros are wearing their balloon jeans this fall.

Whereas summer is all about being carefree with your outfits and dressing based on your mood (and the weather, of course), fall, at least in my eyes, is far more uniform-friendly. As the days get darker, you want to be able to grab for pieces you know work together, no matter what. Usually, that means relying on some variation of jeans and a T-shirt. But, according to Hailey Bieber, there’s a new uniform taking precedent this fall. Sorry, denim, but your spot at the top of fall’s fashion food chain is currently occupied by black tailored pants, and when they’re combined with boatneck tees and kitten heels, the fall 2025 uniform takes shape.

The Rhode founder was spotted wearing the timeless outfit—comprised of slightly cropped cigarette pants, a white boatneck tee with three-quarter sleeves, and strappy kitten-heel sandals—at Sushi Park, where she celebrated her new Rhode billboard on Sunset Boulevard alongside Kendall and Kylie Jenner. She finished off the look with a pair of opticals and a Jil Sander Goji shoulder bag in black.
