Denim fabric trends-Autumn/Winter 2025-26 by Italtex.

As per Italtex's Womenswear Colour and Fabric Trends Autumn Winter 2025-26, here are some key denim fabric trends that can be expected during the season:

• Sustainable denim: In line with the growing focus on eco-conscious practices, Italtex highlights a rise in popularity of sustainable denim knits made from recycled cotton scraps. This focus on recycled materials reduces waste and promotes a more sustainable fashion industry.

• Embellished denim: This twist on classic denim with a ‘torn effect embroidery-inspired pattern’ adds a unique textural element to denim pieces.

• Textured denim finishes: The report mentions sandblasted finishes and burnt-out indigo jersey for creating a distressed and vintage look on denims.

• Indigo wool integration: An interesting mix of materials is on the rise with the use of wool in a felt and an indigo-dyed gabardine, even ready for garment washing. This creates a unique textural combination.

• Indigo checks: For a touch of pattern, Italtex suggests wrinkled tiny wool/cotton checks with indigo blue and neutral tones for jackets.

• Sandblasted Denim: This treatment gives denim a smooth, almost velvety texture with a slight lightening effect. You can expect to see this technique on jeans, jackets, and skirts.

• Burnt-out Indigo Jersey: This intriguing technique involves creating a distressed, almost burnout effect on indigo jersey denim. This will result in edgy and fashion-forward pieces

While this information is specific to women's wear, it provides a good idea of the innovative and sustainable direction denim is taking for the upcoming Autumn/Winter 2025-2026 season.
