Chances are you’re all stocked up on spring jeans. But what if we were to tell you there’s a buzzy (and warm weather-approved) style that your closet may be missing?
We’re talking about raw hem jeans, and we’ve been seeing them everywhere this season. Anne Hathaway, Jennifer Lopez, and Kathy Bates have been wearing the style in airy wide-leg form, while others like Joanna Gaines and Brooke Shields are opting for timeless straight-leg styles. And Bryce Howard Dallas is embracing the trend with raw hem kick-flare jeans
With their frayed edges, raw hem jeans are not only breathable for spring and summer, but they also put an edgy, casual spin on your outfit. Upgrade your jeans collection with these must-have distressed jeans below — they start at just $38.

One of the most breathable denim styles you can wear in the summer is wide-leg jeans, which we’ve spotted on countless celebrities like Kelly Clarkson and Gwyneth Paltrow. Get them in Hathaway’s raw-hem form with these $40 jeans at Amazon. The oversized design and high waist is “flattering” and “comfortable,” according to one five-star reviewer. And they’re available in 10 washes including classic blue, seasonal pink, and sleek black.

Another denim that style stars including Reese Witherspoon and Sarah Jessica Parker are wearing is cropped jeans. You can combine two trends with this cropped pair by Lulus that also has cool distressing at the hem. The fabric comes in a stretchy denim that moves with you. And the jeans come with a belt loop to accessorize, five functional pockets, and a supportive high-waist design. One shopper called the fit “very flattering.”

Want to add length to your legs? Consider a pair of elongating flare jeans, like this pair we spotted at Nordstrom. They have a cropped flare leg that’s not only breezy but also has edgy fraying at the hem. The medium blue wash is easy to match with other styles in your closet, whether you wear the jeans with a tank top, white T-shirt, or blouse.
