There's a bold red and a pink pair available right now, with yellow-toned jeans coming next week.

Powder pink hues feel both feminine and playful, and are key to the fashion colour trends for 2026. This barrel leg jean design gives the candy hue a modern spin that will work all year round.
Wide-leg jeans in a bold wash of red will make a statement while being comfy to wear. Team with a classic Breton stripe t-shirt and pumps, and you'll be all set.
Perfect for spring, butter yellow denim will look particularly special with other pastel tones, or give this pair a grown up spin with a fresh white shirt and gold jewels.
A high waist and wide leg shape will flatter your figure in all the right places, and the bottle green colour will make a great base for soft beige or grey separates.
To spark some real joy, opt for these Barbie-inspired bottoms. Wear with a slouchy sweatshirt and colourful trainers for weekend cool.
The cropped length of these jeans lends itself well to the warmer weather and will look great with your best white trainers or your chunky sandals.
If you are unsure about wearing bolder colours, trying them out with denim is a great idea. The casual fabric helps to lessen the statement shades to give a primary pop, a more relaxed and wearable feel.
Wear your denims with other cheerful hues or graphic prints for extra wow factor, or keep things simple by matching your jeans with timeless basics like an oversized white shirt, neutral-toned knit or a plain vest.
However you wear yours, I challenge you to find a trend that is as joyful as this one for the coming weeks - jeans don't get much happier than this.
