I Exclusively Wear Straight-Leg Jeans—These Are the Best I've Tried

Style Notes: Sylvie Mus opts for a more oversized fit and gives double denim a go.
I first wore these are part of a Who What Wear try-on. I was immediately impressed and inevitably bought them. The fit is exactly how you'd want it; with the slightest bit of give. There is a stretch to the denim, which makes these all the more comfortable to sit in. Still, they don't lose their shape. Plus, no one can argue with the price.
After appearing on the feeds of just about every stylish person I follow, I was interested to see what all Agolde Pinch jean fuss was about. The waistline is high and fitted and makes you feel incredibly secure. With a slight crop, these were closer to being full length on my petite frame, grazing the tops of my loafers. Not that I mind! The silhouette is spot-on too. If you're looking to invest in a premium pair, I dare say this is it.
I've tried a few pairs of & Other Stories jeans and this is my favourite. Although they definitely fit into the straight-leg category, I love the addition of the front seam and the slightly-flared leg; it creates a different silhouette.
If you've spent more than 10 minutes on Who What Wear then you'll know we're big fans of M&S. From the quality to its timeless approach to style, it always ranks highly in our edits. And its jean department is no different. So many of our editors regularly wear its straight-leg Sienna jeans; coming in a variety of shapes, an extended size range, and a super-soft denim that holds its shape, it's little wonder they're so popular.
Again I wore these as part of a try on and I was very tempted to not send them back. A little long on me, I was impressed at how authentically vintage they looked—Reformation really has perfected that '90s blue. The denim was starched but pleasingly so, and I felt like the jeans pulled me in in all the right places.
Okay, so I technically haven't worn these yet but they're the next thing on my shopping list. I have heard so many great things about these Abercrombie jeans—no less how they hold their shape when washed and contour perfectly to hourglass curves. The best part about them, however, is their inclusivity, as they come in a vast array of sizes.
