A wardrobe staple, there's no denying that jeans are one of the most versatile pieces in most women's wardrobes. Thanks to the latest denim trends 2026, it's easy to find a style that suits you and your lifestyle, from stretchy skinnies to wide leg styles. The best jeans for your body type may sometimes surprise you, too- my old favourite straight leg jeans were swiftly replaced by on-trend barrel leg jeans for their flattering curved fit, and I've been living in the relaxed shape for several seasons.
However, thanks to Trinny Woodall, I've now got my eye on an updated look for my favourite jeans that I'll be adding to my spring capsule wardrobe. Step forward, balloon jeans. Named for their billowing, rounded shape, this style is an exaggerated take on barrel leg jeans. Also known as horseshoe jeans, this fit features a more prominent curve to the outer seam of the jeans that then tapers inwards towards the ankles for a balloon-like shape.
