Barrel

Searching for a new go-to silhouette? Meet the barrel jean. This bowed-leg style has cowboy swagger without going full John Wayne, and is surprisingly versatile. Wear now with a sweater vest, and they’ll also carry through to spring’s next big trend: feminine utility.

Wide

Gucci’s catwalk message was clear: when it comes to jeans, get ready to hang loose. Not in a skater-boy way, but with a quiet nonchalance that’s perfect for striding around town. Double down with a denim shirt for a touch of 1970s flair and, to keep everything elevated, finish with a structured coat and luxury accessories, including a buttery-soft leather bag.

Straight 

For those who have yet to embrace dressed-up denim, Toteme’s straight-leg jeans are here to convert you once and for all. Yes, you can opt for darker denim but, in truth, the right structured jeans – especially with a pressed crease down the front – can handle any glitz thrown their way. Slinky lace cami? Easy. Chandelier earrings? No problem. Glossy patent slingbacks? You betcha!
