Baggy boyfriend and extra slouchy styles proliferate, working perfectly with everything from court shoes to Converse. Wide-leg jeans join the line-up of other flared fits, elongating the leg with a 70s-inspired throwback, while low-rise leads the Y2K revival with butterfly tops and two pieces in tow.
We’re going to say it, nothing beats a great pair of jeans. While we can happily fill our wardrobes with striped dresses, knit dresses, midaxi dresses and every kind of dress in between, jeans are a timeless classic. Whether paired with an oversized blazer for work, a jumper and boots for more wintry weather, or statement heels for a big night out, they’re one of the few items that can be styled for any occasion. And one pair is sure to last you for years to come, so long as you get the right cut.
While skinny jeans once reigned supreme, they have been banished to the back of our wardrobes, cast aside as the ultimate fashion faux pas. This drastic 180 has made way for a number of new styles, while familiar retro cuts have been revived. But what jeans styles are trending now? Quite a number, but these are the most failsafe for autumn.
