Though jeans are undoubtedly one of the hardest-working staples in every wardrobe, it can be tricky to find the perfect pair. Do you prefer tough denim or one with stretch? Which wash suits you best? And how should the leg fit?
With a seemingly endless array of styles to choose from, it’s hard to know which is best. During the 2010s the skinny leg reigned supreme, mainly thanks to Hedi Slimane’s tenure at Dior Homme, while the baggy Y2K fit is in favour now. And, with the natural cyclical nature of fashion, who’s to say we’re not going to revert back to the spray-on look in the next couple of years? There’s also seventies-coded flares, a timeless slim leg or a crowd-pleasing taper to think about, too.
