In our Ask a Stylist series, we're tapping a new expert each month to weigh in with all of their style insights. Return each week for a professional's perspective on what to know in fashion.

Superstylist Dani Michelle has likely inspired the way you get dressed. I know that her styling has certainly impacted how I’m shopping and the trends I feel excited to wear. With a roster of major celebrity clients including Kendall Jenner, Kourtney Kardashian, and Shanina Shaik, there’s no question that she’s shaping what fashion looks like today and has a huge influence on what’s cool.

Curious to find out her take on the cool denim trends that matter in 2021, I asked her to share the silhouettes she’s adding to her clients’ wardrobes and deserve a place in our shopping carts. Rather than a long list of styles, she narrowed in on two key denim trends that feel directional and of-the-moment: oversize and low-rise jeans.

These two denim silhouettes may sound tricky to style at first but with a strong presence on the F/W 21 runways and the street style scene, you’ll see that they’re easier to pull off than you might think at first if you pay attention to some key styling tips. Ahead, the two cool denim trends stylist Dani Michelle is behind in 2021.

Loose proportions are having a moment with everything from upsized blazers to pants on the market. Now, baggy jeans are on the rise. A favorite trend of Dani Michelle's, oversize jeans simply feel cool, which is why you'll spot them in the wardrobes of every cool celeb and fashion insider. A departure from the skinny jeans that dominated fashion for years and years, oversize jeans have a trouser-like shape and '90s-inspired vibe that I can't get enough of.

Worn with a throwback mesh top at Our Legacy, this look is proof that aughts fashion is here to stay.

This outfit is proof that adding a trench, T-shirt, and sneakers is a no-fail look, no matter which denim silhouette you're wearing.

A simple halter tank is another foolproof way to style oversize jeans.

Low-rise jeans are the aughts comeback that I didn't see coming but now that they've arrived, it's impossible to deny that they're having a moment. Rather than the form-fitting jeans that were popular in the early 2000s, Dani Michelle recommends sticking with oversize silhouettes to make them more wearable and more fashion-forward. Style them with anything from a crop top to a sports bra and a blazer.
