With chart-topping records, a BET award and a Grammy, Burna Boy, the Nigerian-born artist and performer who brought Afro-fusion music into the mainstream, has now turned his attention to the world of fashion, collaborating with G-Star RAW to produce a wildly innovative line of denim. The collection features forward-thinking designs that include both unisex pieces as well as femme and masculine styles — that provide the perfect opportunity for you to enhance your spring styles with downright drippy denim.

To launch the Burna Boy and G-Star collab, there’s a gritty campaign video for the artist’s infectious song “On Form,” shot by award-winning director Dave Meyers in London. Burna Boy is well-known for this style of bold, industry-disrupting music, and G-Star has channeled a similarly confident, forward-thinking aesthetic while pushing the boundaries of denim in this latest drop. The natural collaboration maximizes the energy of both, resulting in unexpected jean pieces with exaggerated shapes, dramatic cuts, and cool details — most notably two limited-edition exclusives: a full-length denim trench made from premium Japanese denim and an oversized unisex hooded vest.

From statement-makers to subtle riffs on classics, this collab takes denim and runs with it. Scroll on to shop designs that’ll have you in peak spring form.

A classic trench coat in premium Japanese denim

Part statement-maker and part classic, this trench coat is made from premium Japanese denim that will only look cooler as you break it in. The unisex design is meant to be oversize — so you can layer it over sweaters — and features an oversize collar that can be adjusted to wear raised up for even more versatility. An adjustable belt and wrist snaps further allow you to customize the fit, and flap pockets have room to stash your phone and keys. This trench is a limited edition design, so don’t sleep on it; once it’s gone, it’s gone.

Available sizes: XX-Small — XX-Large | Available colors: 1

These barrel-leg jeans with unexpected details

These jeans are packed with a slew of cool details, from the barrel-leg design to the knee patches and heel guards. The hems are even finished with contrasting vertical zippers. Made from premium Japanese denim in a limited edition, they feature inset pockets and two pockets at the front and back, in a loose-fit based on an original G-Star RAW design. Wear them anytime you want to add some laid-back edge to your look.

Available sizes: 26 — 34 | Available colors: 1

The straight-leg overalls you’ll wear constantly

The reimagined classic you’ve been looking for, these overalls feature a light wash, with a straight leg and a comfortable fit that’s not tight but not baggy, either — just right. The design features shank buttons at the side, with adjustable straps so you can tailor the fit to your liking. Made of 100% cotton, these will only look better with age and wear, which might happen quickly, as you’ll likely reach for them constantly.

Available sizes: 3X-Small — XX-Large | Available colors: 1

These Y2K-inspired cargo pants

Y2K style continues to dominate, and these cargo pants are a solid way to add on-trend energy to your lineup. They feature a mid-rise waist and a relaxed fit — so they’ll be comfortable enough to move around in — and the 3D zipper pockets at the thigh are just as functional as they are cool-looking. There are even flap pockets at the lower leg and and back, so you have room to stash your phone and keys.

Available waist sizes: 26 — 40 | Available lengths: 30 — 36 | Available colors: 3

The shorts with a wide barrel silhouette

On-trend wide-leg jeans get a knee-length twist with these shorts, which feature a roomy fit, high-rise waist, and flared barrel silhouette. A cotton fabrication, five-pocket styling, and a button fly are classic details, while oversize back pockets complement the wide fit. Unique, polished, and laid-back — don’t be surprised if these become a go-to.

Available waist sizes: 23 — 33 | Available lengths: 28 — 34| Available colors: 3

A denim jacket with a cropped raw hem

The raw edge of this cropped denim jacket gives it a bold, did-it-yourself energy that’ll look effortless no matter what you pair it with. Made of pure, stretch-free cotton that will soften with wear, it features a button front, flap-front pockets, and a notch collar. The cropped length is balanced by a boxy oversize fit that’s roomy enough to layer over sweaters and hoodies.

Available sizes: 3X-Small — XX-Large | Available colors: 1

A pair of loose-fit jeans based on an archival design

G-Star RAW took inspiration from one of their archival styles when creating this pair of jeans, updating them with a baggier fit that’s highlighted by subtle seaming details. A single button-flap pocket at the back is a workwear-inspired touch, also found in the repositioned coin pocket and cinch at the back waist — this also allows you to adjust the fit.

Available waist sizes: 26 — 40 | Available lengths: 30 — 36 | Available colors: 5

A statement-making pair of jeans with paint splatter details

Drip is literally on lock with these attention-getting jeans that feature a faded wash accentuated by colorful splatters of paint. They feature a button fly, mid-rise waist, knee patches, and heel guards, along with classic five-pocket styling. G-Star based these jeans on their Elwood 5620, paying special attention to the quality of the material; the slim fit has stretch blended in so you’ll be able to move without feeling restricted.

Available waist sizes: 24 — 40 | Available lengths: 26 — 38 | Available colors: 5
