From bleached-out jeans to distressed denim, the 80s are asserting an influence over fall fashion well beyond big shoulders and club kid-appropriate metallic and sequined frocks. Not only are skinny jeans here to stay, but nontraditional washes and well worn fabrics are surfacing as the must-have denim styles for next season “The Eighties continue to inspire, with raw edges, acid washes and bright pops of color energizing fall denim,” says Women’s Wear Daily.

WWD takes a look at the leading jeans for next season and finds the dominant trend is one of embellishment. In addition to heavily distressed denim, tie-dyed and acid washes are all rage. And as straightforward blue jeans are temporarily laid to rest, “black and grey denim” prove to be the preferred indigo alternative for fall. That is, if you choose not to opt for something borderline fluorescent.
