Trends may come and go, but jeans are forever. As such, investing in a core rotation of reliable denim favourites is a wardrobe decision you’ll rarely regret. From sleek skinnies to relaxed ‘90s-style mom jeans, here are a few staples every woman should own.
ALYSSA MARIE
THE MOM JEAN
Comfortable, flattering and forever on-trend, the key to wearing the mom jeans is to hold out until you find a pair that fits you perfectly. Ideally with a mid-to-highrise waist, a loose but tapered leg and a slight crop.
MARRI PAZZ
THE WIDELEG
Ranging from more structured hemmed styles to raw-edged cropped styles, the wide leg jeans is endlessly flattering and, even better, incredibly comfortable.
THE CROPPED FLARE
A transseasonal jean that’s on the more feminine side thanks to its subtle kick, the cropped flare started as a trend in 2018 but proved very quickly that it was here to stay.
LISA FOLAWIYO
THE BOOTCUT
The bootcut is back and the new version lengthens the leg and pairs perfectly with boots and everything else.
LORETTA HOVE
TOYOSI GREGORYJONAH
THE SKINNY
Easily tucked into boots or worn offduty with a fitted t-shirt, the skinny jeans has proved it has serious staying power. Opt for a pair in black to start, then stock up on blue washes and whites.
PRISCILLA AKOGYERAM
KIKA OSUNDE
THE DENIM CUTOFF
Avoid the awkwardness of having your denim shorts cling in all the wrong places by finding a relaxed vintage pair on the baggier side, which sit on the hips and have just the right amount of slouch.
THE LOWRISE
Yes, they’re back. But this time, it’s not all tiny zips and hip-hugging denim. The modern low-rise jean is worn loose, in either a wide leg or a skinny slouch.
