I'm Picky With Jeans, But I Can't Stop Wearing This Straight-Leg Pair From Arket

Since it first launched in the UK in 2017, Arket has become our go-to for classic, expensive-looking wardrobe staples. So much so that we’re not sure where we shopped for our elevated basics before it reached our shores. From its cult blazer and sellout striped jumper to the perfect white T-shirt, Arket's pieces consistently impress us with their quality and design as well as their commitment to sustainability. (A lot of the pieces are now made using recycled or responsibly sourced materials.) It should come as no surprise, then, when we tell you that the brand's denim offering is, in our opinion, one of the best on the high street.

In particular, there’s one style I’ve tried recently that I love so much and have been wearing on repeat. It’s the Regular Cropped Stretch Jeans, and they’re such a good discovery that I just had to share them with you all.

I style mine most often with a tank (on warmer days) or cosy knit (more recently) and then throw my Arket blazer over it to finish the look. But let me tell you these jeans are versatile, and can pretty much be styled with anything. The slim straight ankle sits seamlessly over everything from chunky ankle boots to loafers and heels, and they even slip into knee-high boots nicely. Because they’re so classic, I have faith they’ll pretty much fit into any wardrobe and make everything you own work harder. The best part about them, though? Thanks to the slight stretch, they’re seriously comfy, which, after spending recent years in tracksuits, has become a priority for me when buying denim these days. Anyone else relate?

This specific pair currently comes in four colours, but there are also stiffer non-stretch, full length and looser-leg versions that are all brilliant. Keep scrolling to shop my current favourite pair and more classic pairs of Arket jeans.
