The appetite for embellishments is ongoing. From studded accessories to bedazzled ready-to-wear pieces, it's safe to say that this maximalist trend isn't going anywhere this autumn/winter 2024. The latest piece to get a dazzling makeover? Denim.
Yes, the humble jeans have been upgraded for autumn. Embellished jeans started cropping up on the runways across Paris and Milan Fashion Week, with brands like Versace, Stella McCartney and Ami styling their variations with oversized blazers, sheer cami vests, and heels—the perfect party-dressing look in my eyes.

And, with brands like Chanel and Casablanca tapping into the trend at the most recent fashion shows, we're sure to see more embellished denim next summer.
Nevertheless, with spring months away and party season becoming the sole focus for now, it is officially the perfect time to invest in a great pair of embellished jeans. Although the look may be divisive for some, it is a great secret weapon for those who want to opt for comfort and incorporate an effortless styling hack that promises a stylish look with minimum effort.
Look to the style set for styling inspiration. Katie Holmes proves that embellished denim isn't reserved for big nights out. Here she's styled her two-tone embellished jeans with a crisp white T-shirt and grey blazer to contrast the look with silver pumps. The result is an elevated daytime look.
On the other hand, if you want a sleek nighttime look, we'd suggest replicating Taylor Swift's Superbowl fit. She wore a cut-out pair of embellished jeans by way of Area with a mesh corset and black ankle boots. The jeans, which regularly sell out, are back in stock and currently in the MyTheresa sale (you're welcome). Team with a floor-grazing coat, and you're all set for Winter.
So if you're looking to invest in this effortless party season denim hack, we have selected our top embellished jeans options to shop now and wear forever.
