The Denim We’re Obsessed With For The New Season
By Sarah Macken
Denim aficionados will adore these new drops and launches for AW26 …
J Crew Embraces White Kick-Flares
J Crew is a long-time glossy favourite for staples that have a distinctive edge. Think: trusty cashmere, well-cut blazers and, also, good denim. This season, the brand is embracing crisp denim styling that’s, unsurprisingly, preppy with a twist. Think: blue barrel jeans teamed with red socks and black loafers, white jeans paired with cream blazers and relaxed straight-leg jeans accessorised with toe-cap heels (in the vein of Matthieu Blazy‘s Chanel). White Charley cropped kick-flare jeans, €184; www.jcrew.com.
With Nothing Underneath Launches Denim
A favourite for excellent shirting, British brand With Nothing Underneath has expanded into jeans. Think: ultra-wearable straight-leg styles with the perfect amount of slouch that mimic vintage Levi’s.
M&S Spotlights The Wide-Leg
Those who love denim know it’s more than a wardrobe basic, it’s the item you build your look around. M&S is leaning into exactly this mentality for the new season, spotlighting the tried-and-tested shapes and washes that customers love. A pair of classic wide-leg jeans gets new verve for autumn when teamed with an off-duty polo knit jumper and glossy point-toe boots. Dark indigo The Wide Leg jeans, M&S Collection, €36, at Marks & Spencer.
Bella Freud Splashes Denim On Suits
“This is denim – the garb of the suave artist. There is nothing smarter or more mysterious than denim worn in a particular way,” says Bella Freud. Whoever said denim can’t have polish should look to Freud’s single-breasted cotton suiting in a washed black finish. Freud has also launched a matching denim shirt with contrast tobacco stitching and detachable neck tie. Washed black St. James jacket, £479.17; www.bellafreud.com.
Jeanerica Proposes The Denim Jacket
We recently discovered Jeanerica, a denim label that focuses on well-made pieces with elevated washes. The brand rethinks the jean jacket for autumn in a corduroy finish that looks lovingly 1990s-grunge in style. Blue-grey Elsa cordoruy jacket, €490; www.jeanerica.com.
