With denim designers, suppliers, and students all gathered, Kingpins Amsterdam offers a glimpse into the latest trends and future directions in denim fashion. The street style on display is a true reflection of what’s hot now—and what’s coming next.
Here’s a closer look at three must-see trends.
Statement Denim
At Kingpins, attendees let their fashion speak for itself. Jeans, jackets, and bags were adorned with bold words and phrases, brought to life through techniques like laser engraving, embroidery, and appliqué. Some repurposed denim scraps into letters, while others incorporated etched leather patches and contrasting thread colors to make a statement.

Leather Jackets
Leather jackets and slouchy jeans were a standout pairing at the show, with many opting for oversized bombers that exuded a vintage, thrifted vibe. These jackets were styled with everything from classic blue jeans and overdyed denim to ripped skinnies and nostalgic Sean Jean pieces. Some attendees balanced the voluminous jackets with chunky platform Ugg boots, while others paired sleek leather moto jackets with leopard print skirts and stacked jeans for an edgy twist.
Green
Military green, a staple in the denim color palette, took center stage this season. From workwear jeans and cargo pockets to puffer jackets, leather jackets, and wool coats, the versatile hue was everywhere. Its prevalence brought a refreshing, revitalizing energy to the show’s street style.
