From low rise to high waisted, skinny to straight, and bootcut to flare, jean styles are constantly evolving. This spring, printed denim can elevate a simple outfit to appear more put together while still creating interest. Patterns, prints, and textures are appealing to the eye and dress up your denim. Whether you like to source your jeans from another country, buy them second hand, or make them yourself, there are patterned jeans for everyone.

The Sergio Jean

The Sergio Jean by Tiger Mist displays an abstract swirl pattern that allows them to stand out from far away due to the contrast between blue and white. (Unfortunately, they are currently sold out, but should be returning soon!)
