Our We The Free denim is basically an Enneagram system for jeans. No matter your personality, we have the pair to match—from quintessentially-FP flare jeans for a bold moment, to heritage-inspired classics for your capsule wardrobe, to bespoke and one-of-a-kind touches for your stylish best friend. I would consider it a great challenge to leave our site without finding your jeans come true.
Just like personalities, trends can evolve, too. It can feel overwhelming to constantly stay in the loop with what is “in,” and we sometimes end up over consuming for the sake of a fleeting fad. With so many new denim trends in our wheelhouse, we want to help you put your best fit forward, so we’ve divided the styles we’re most excited about this season into a few buckets: We The Free Redux, Destruction, Low-rise, and Novelty, and given each a personality type to match. Ready to find yours?
DENIM 101:
What Denim Do I Try?
By: Jules Boyd
If your jeans had a personality, what would it be?
IF YOU’RE LOOKING FOR THE NEXT BEST THING…
You have your finger on the pulse of trends.
Your Pinterest board is mainly outfitting inspiration.
You want something new and noteworthy, but still under the radar enough that not quite everyone has these just yet.
The We The Free “Redux” concept focuses on reintroducing a few of our denim styles like the Lotus, Finish Line, High Top Wide Crop, and Final Countdown with a modern lens. Boasting a variety of shapes, lengths, and rises, you’re going to be referencing these by name in no time. Each pair elevates the everyday just a little bit—so get your hands on them before TikTok does its thing.

IF YOU’RE HERE FOR THE LOW-RISE REVIVAL…
You haven’t quite grown out of the Y2K phase.
You’re ready to expand your denim collection.
You want something flattering that also isn’t cutting into your ribcage.
When I think of low-rise jeans, I’m immediately sent back to a middle school dance circa. 2007…IYKYK. Fear not, gentle reader, these will not make you look like you just came from a gymnasium that just blasted “Get Low” by Lil Jon at full volume. Fresh silhouettes like the Tennessee Low-Rise Boyfriend, which features a better-than-your-boyfriend’s relaxed fit, and forever favorites like the Penny Pull-On, a cult-favorite with curve-hugging stretch denim, breathe new life into a denim rise that fell to the wayside for far too long. Say goodbye to bunching and scrunching, and say hello to your new go-to pair.

IF YOU WANT SOMETHING COMPLETELY UNIQUE…
You’re an OG Free People stan.
Your hobbies include at least one craft-focused pastime.
You love statement pieces that stand out.
If there’s one thing we do well, it’s that hand-touched sensibility—it’s basically our bread and butter. Whimsical embroidery, loud prints, and exaggerated shapes? It’s what we’re known for. If you’re looking to update your already-cool denim collection, we welcome you with open arms. The embroidered iteration of our Westward Jean will definitely turn some heads leading up to the summer months (we can’t resist the nautical motifs!), while our llusions Printed Jean and Willow Floral Embroidered Jean feature Free People’s true crafty charm. Everyone already knows that you’re ultra-creative, so let your jeans match that energy.

IF YOU’RE CRAVING A LITTLE BIT OF EDGE…
You still reminisce about your Tumblr era.
You’re ready to add a little extra dimension to your denim drawer.
You love the idea of vintage jeans, but feel overwhelmed sorting through them.
“Yes, grandma, I did spend money on clothes with holes in them!” — you, probably at some point, when your grandma asked you if you did indeed pay for those ripped jeans. When it comes to destruction, we definitely take more of a pointed approach; everything is carefully placed to give a little bit of life into your denim. From subtle whiskering and fading to full-on rips and tears, our destructed denim gives a lived-in feel without the wait. Something that we’re loving at the moment is a raw hem detail—it’s just the perfect added touch for an ultra-classic finish. Try our Moxie Short and Tinsley Baggy Jean…trust us, a little bit of a lived-in look goes a long way.
