The One Pair Of Jeans To Buy Now, According To The Style Set

These jeans are still trending with the fashion pack. Will you try them? …

If you have yet to try barrel jeans, be prepared to invest as this denim trend is going nowhere fast! Boasting a nipped in waist, billowing legs and tapered at the hem, barrel jeans have fast become a go-to for those seeking a directional denim look with that extra something. Equally, as they evolve even more into the fashion mainstream, barrel-leg jeans have quickly become the one piece that those in the know lean on for a polished everyday look. The striking shape and sharp cut of these jeans demand little else other than a great T-shirt and trainers.

What kind of barrel-leg jeans should you go for? The answer depends on how much of a statement you’d like to make. Not all barrel jeans are created equal. For instance, Toteme’s tapered barrel jeans are a narrow take on the trend, while the high waist on the Luna jeans by Agolde and, on the high street, H&M’s mid-blue jeans, creates a dramatic silhouette. Some styles are so defined, they create a distinctive ‘C’ shape in the leg. If this isn’t for you, look for jeans with a relaxed fit – the result will be more of an effortless slouch.

As for colours? Fashion right now is all about extremes. 1980s-inspired pale washes are trending for SS25; equally, indigo blues are garnering favour. We say: you can’t go wrong with a white pair or, even better, a shade of ecru. See the insouciant pair below by Marks & Spencer for your next ‘It’ buy.
