The denim corset was a seasonal must-have because to Gen Zer’s obsession with Y2K fashion. Blasted denim button-down shirts gained prominence because to Pamcore, the viral movement that was sparked by Pamela Anderson’s ’90s California look. Pop culture figures are rekindling the cowboy fashion trend, which is why demand in Western denim shirts is increasing right now.
But there’s another kind of denim shirts out there ready to be discovered. Over the past year, long-sleeved, loose-fitting tops with half buttons—known as denim popover shirts—have been more popular in women’s runway collections.
Recently, the effortless and adaptable top—which leaned toward a gardening style with large front pockets and tunic length—was spotted at Gucci’s Cruise 2025 presentation in London.
The carefree, beachy mood of Plan C’s Spring/Summer 2024 collection was well encapsulated in the shirt. The Italian company wore its oversized, 100 percent cotton popover with an adjustable split hem two ways: as a stylish beach cover up and with loose jeans for a laid-back vibe.
Tanya Taylor’s denim popup style’s sleeves have buttons that increase its adaptability. You may create a shape similar to a cloak by unbuttoning the broad sleeves. More cropped versions are being chosen by other designers, such as Chanel. The belt loops on the popover’s collar were adorned by the French fashion company.
In the mainstream market, denim popovers are already starting to gain traction. A silky terry popover from Rag & Bone looks like denim after two washes. J. Crew offers chambray-colored cropped women’s clothing. Todd Synder and Ralph Lauren both sell collared versions for guys.
