The Best High Street Jeans, According To Our Fashion Team
Jeans are a year-round wardrobe staple – they can be worn practically anywhere, from running errands around town to a night out, they’re the definition of ‘hard-working’. But denim can easily become quite pricey, which is why we asked our Fashion Team for their top high street jeans recommendations, so you can enjoy all the benefits of a stylish denim staple without blowing the budget…
Natasha, Digital Editor
“I hadn’t worn Abercrombie since I was at school, but these jeans are a gamechanger. They are, hands down, the nicest pair of jeans I own and I always get compliments on them. They’re slouchy and fitted in the right places, offering the perfect hybrid between the ‘mom’ and ‘wide leg’ trends, giving them a timeless yet expensive look and feel.”
Sydney, Social Media Manager
“Uniqlo’s straight-leg jeans are a timeless classic. Made from 100% cotton, they offer a soft, stretchy denim that’s both comfortable and durable. I personally love the navy, it adds a stylish, versatile touch, while the relaxed, baggy fit is perfect for laid-back, everyday wear. These jeans are an affordable wardrobe essential, and I can easily see them becoming a long-lasting favourite in my collection.”
Ashling, Contributing Style & Interiors Editor
“As a freelance editor, jeans hit every single day. Relaxed enough for WFH, but cool enough for meetings, press launches and shoots. Unsurprisingly, I have a list of denim go-tos. Madewell fits to perfection; NYDJ is another classic US import; ARKET do the best baggy Cloud jeans and then there’s Free People. I cannot reiterate how much I adore the brand’s We The Free Good Luck Mid Rise Barrel Jeans. Expertly cut to fit beautifully across the hips, but then they gently balloon out – not only are they comfortable, they just happen to be this season’s favourite jean.”
