Good jeans are hard to come by, so when a friend of mine raved to me about her "perfect" new straight-leg jeans, I needed to know all the details. When she told me they were from ME+EM, I thought they'd cost more than I was hoping to spend, but then she said they were reduced to half price in the ME+EM sale - and that there are still plenty of sizes left!
In the fifteen years since its launch, ME+EM has become one of the best British clothing brands, and although I love their perfectly tailored trousers and occasion dresses, I never would have thought to shop there for jeans before now.
The epitome of Quiet Luxury, there’s a real focus on quality, and as the founder and CEO Clare Hornby calls it, ‘'wear-forever appeal." If you need more convincing, celebrities such as Claudia Winkleman and Katie Holmes are fans, as well as several members of the Royal Family too – Kate Middleton, Duchess Sophie and Queen Camilla have all got ME+EM in common.
If you're looking to curate a year-round capsule wardrobe, then these bargains should definitely be on your radar. The sale is online only, plus you can shop by category and size to make life easier. With up to 60% off, the only problem will be narrowing down your very full shopping basket...
ME+EM sale: Up to 60% off
ME+EM sale: jeans
These are the jeans my fashionable friend recommended. She says: "They fit like a dream, are very elongating and are more flattering as they have a zip rather than buttons. I’m buying a second pair, and I'm hoping they’ll make the same cut in black and other washes."
I used to be a skinny jean queen, but I must say looser silhouettes have well and truly won me over. The shape of these isn't too exaggerated if you're a baggy jeans beginner, and they'll look so chic teamed with a loafer and a lightweight knit.
Chocolate brown hues are still trending, and the vertical stripes on these jeans will help make your legs look longer. They're made from a non-stretch cotton denim, and curve at the ankle for a modern silhouette.
These have to be some of the most comfortable jeans you can buy. They've got 2% elastane in them to give them a good amount of stretch, and there's a zip fastening on one side so the waistband won't dig in.
ME+EM sale: jackets
A boucle jacket is one of the ultimate wardrobe investment pieces, and this ivory style will smarten up your jeans. Size up to allow for your best cashmere jumper to go underneath.
Suede jackets are everywhere this season, so I'm very surprised to see this chic studded option reduced in the ME+EM sale. It's available in sizes XS to L, but with 60% off you can expect it to sell out soon.
ME+EM make amazing blazers - between the double-breasted design, padded shoulders, peak lapels and pinstripe print, this olive-coloured jacket is perfection.
ME+EM sale: tops
A denim shirt is one of the most versatile items you can add to your spring capsule wardrobe. Wear this one buttoned up with white jeans, or layer it up as an overshirt.
This pretty blouse will add boho vibes to blue jeans, plus the elasticated cuffs can be pushed back to adjust the sleeve length.
Looking for date night outfits? I can't believe this pinstripe waistcoat has been reduced in the sale, I've had my eye on it for months!
ME+EM sale: dresses
This is the dress you'll find yourself reaching for whenever you can't decide what to wear. The rib fabric gives it plenty of stretch, and the shirt collar gives it a smart edge. Wear it with your best white trainers for office days.
Denim dresses really come into their own at this time of year, and I love how this one is layered over a colour pop polo neck on the model to show you just how versatile it is. The zip front makes the neckline adjustable and best of all, it's got pockets.
If you're starting to think about occasions you've got coming up, this lace dress is a very chic option. The colour is stunning, and it's easy to wear thanks to the long sleeves, flattering shape and high neckline.
This clever floral dress comes with a bandeau in the same print, which you can wear underneath the deep V-neckline to adjust the amount of coverage. The delicate print is so pretty, plus it's 100% silk.
Personally, I prefer a long-sleeve dress, and the ruching on this one is perfectly placed for a flattering finish. It's available in UK sizes 6 to 16, but won't be around for long!
The optional tie neck detail on this dress is very Kate Middleton, and I love the papaya orange colour. Again, this one is 100% silk, and you can adjust the neckline.
ME+EM sale: jumpsuits
This versatile all-in-one is bound to become a go-to for travelling or running around. Roll up the trousers, add a pair of comfortable trainers and you're good to go!
This all-in-one really does live up to its name, since it will take you from commute to office to evening with only a change of shoes. The fabric is a wool blend, and if you order it before 4pm, you can get next working day delivery in the UK.
Velvet is for life, not just for Christmas, so this sumptuous jumpsuit works all year round. The extra wide leg silhouette is very flattering, and it's also available in black.
ME+EM sale: knitwear
If you don't like to deviate from the favourite old jeans and a blazer formula, swap your white T-shirt for this knit on chilly days.
I'm sold purely on the name 'cocktail cardigan'. With striking gold buttons and voluminous sleeves, this knit is cosy but glamorous.
This will add a really refreshing pop of colour to any outfit if your wardrobe is just black, grey and navy. It will tick one of the biggest spring/summer fashion colour trends 2026 off your list, too.
ME+EM sale: trousers & skirts
Sporty but smart side stripe trousers are another thing ME+EM does particularly well, and these will work perfectly with the bomber jackets that are everywhere this season.
The illusion panels down the side of these trousers will boost your confidence and make you walk a little bit taller. Team them with a crisp white shirt and ballet flat for a minimalist finish.
A real leather midi skirt is a hefty investment, but when it's 50% off, you can rest assured you're getting a good deal. You'll be wearing this buttery soft beauty for years to come.
ME+EM sale: shoes & accessories
The ideal little crossbody bag, this also doubles up as a clutch bag. The croc finish looks so expensive, and the colour is that bit more interesting than black or tan.
Western boots are huge news right now - did you see the Princess of Wales debut her new Jimmy Choo boots just recently? These have a manageable blocky heel and a sleek shine to them.
Did you know that ME+EM makes swimwear? I love the Deep Pomegranate Red colour of this one, and according to the website it's "infused with four-way stretch for the ultimate fit and comfort, while the layered construction offers UV protection and doesn't wrinkle or pill".
Top shopping tips
My top tip when shopping sales is to think beyond the season you’re in, which can be tough when the British weather can't quite make up its mind. There really is a great range of options, from stylish dresses to hide a tummy for the summer, to lightweight knitwear, which will help with your wardrobe transition throughout the seasons. Not only are the clothing options fantastic, but they also have a range of shoes, such as ballet flats, that will be a no-brainer when you're figuring out how to style bootcut jeans.
But be warned, with prices slashed, much like with the Boden sale, our favourite finds are unlikely to be in stock for long, and the size options may be limited.
FAQs
Can you return ME+EM in store?
Sale items cannot be returned to store, they must be sent back via ME+EM's online returns process.
Does ME+EM have a Black Friday sale?
In a previous year, ME+EM sent an email to customers stating that they wouldn't be taking part in Black Friday sales, explaining: "We don't believe in fast fashion. We don't rush when it comes to making our clothes, and we don't want you to rush when it comes to shopping them.
"We believe in making considered investment pieces that make you feel confident, that we know you'll wear constantly and that will last for years to come.
"That's why, rather than discounting this Black Friday, we will be making a donation to Women for Women International."
