Give your everyday wardrobe a boost with the perfect pair of jeans

WIDE LEG
The slouchier shape of the wide-leg jean ensures a comfy, yet elegant fit. Add extra polish and wear with a smart blazer and a fitted tee to offset the more voluminous bottom half. The looser fit makes this type of jean great for skimming over bigger bums and curvy thighs, and look for a length that sits just over your shoes rather than touching the floor, for the most flattering finish.
BARREL LEG
The newest addition to our denim rotation, barrel-leg jeans are having a moment. With a looser leg that tapers at the ankle, they have the relaxed feel of a baggy jean but with an elegant finish that makes it easy to dress up or down. Opt for a pair that sits high on the waist to show off your shape and keep your top half fitted to help balance proportions.
MOM JEAN
A high-cut waist and slightly looser fit around the bum and hips give this retro-inspired fit a fashion-forward feel. The roomier cut can be a little tricky if you’re not feeling very tummy-confident, but the waistband will draw you in at the middle without feeling too clingy. It’s best to tuck your tops in and opt for shorter-length cover-ups to streamline your silhouette.
