Bridging the gap between the skinny and the baggy, a straight-leg jean is a hard-working wardrobe staple. Simple in silhouette, the fuss-free style is just as versatile as the aforementioned skinny, but a lot more forgiving. Perfect for mastering that tricky smart-casual dress code – wear with everything from boots to sandals.
Cropped

Finishing just above the ankle, a cropped hem is a must-have for petites who want to give the illusion of longer legs. These have a boot-cut hem for an extra flattering finish on the leg. Best paired with slinky heels that you can really show off, the darker wash keeps them feeling polished and dinner-date ready.
Wide leg

If there’s one jean of the season, the wide leg is it. Combining both style and comfort, these have a high waist and a straight, loose leg for an elegant finish. Balance proportions and wear with a more fitted top half – a tailored waistcoat will help to highlight your middle.

Popularised in the 80s and 90s, the mom jean has become a firm favourite and the relaxed shape is an all-round winner. Cinching in at the waist with a looser fit around the hips and thighs before tapering at the ankle, they make a great choice for hourglass and pear shapes. Style with a tucked-in slogan tee and trainers for your off-duty look.

The skinny jean is still on-trend, and there’s plenty of room in our wardrobe rotation for the figure-hugging style. M&S has worked its magic with this pair, with clever technology to smooth and
