When it comes to denim trends for 2026, there are an endless number of shapes, cuts and colours available right now, and adding to your jeans collection can often feel a little overwhelming. If you struggle with shopping for denim or are unsure about what the best jeans are to suit your body type, then the relaxed, straight leg is a great place to start.
This particular cut is a smart-looking straight leg, but with a slightly looser and softer fit, which makes it universally flattering, and it's one of those silhouettes that can easily work for both low-key and fancier plans. Melanie Griffith proves just how chic they can be when she was spotted out in Los Angeles last week wearing a true-blue pair, with a soft white blouse and a pair of heeled loafers.
