@iliridakrasniqiStyle Notes: Okay, so this all-in-one isn't technically a pair of jeans, but it is in fact so much more. Practical, chic, and with plenty of retro charm, a buttoned up jumpsuit takes the guesswork out of outfit pairings–after all, it's an outfit all on its own. Take tips from Ilirida Krasniqi and wear over a turtleneck with a pair of ankle boots for the perfect transitional uniform.
& Other Stories' loose, laidback, jumpsuit is perfect for weekend downtime.
Play up this jumpsuit's Western feel by wearing with pointy ankle boots and a bandana neckerchief.
This all-in-one's super soft feel comes from organic and recycled high-performance stretch denim, designed to score low on the Environmental Impact Measurement scale.

@emswellsStyle Notes: It just wouldn't be a denim round-up without a buzzy new style, and this spring belongs to the barrel leg. While the runways tried to convince us that supersized, low-slung, baggy denim was the only way to go, we're looking for something a little more wearable, and the barrel leg manages to take the classic straight leg and up the volume. The fit is traditionally high-waisted, curving through the leg to be widest at the knees, before tapering in again at the ankle. The perfect jean for wearing with trainers, ballet flats, sandals, loafers...
They might be pricey, but these are the kind of quality denim that will last you a lifetime.
If you haven't already explored House of Dagmar's extensive edit of cool, new denim, this is as good a place as any to start.

Style Notes: Looking for a micro trend that's still faithful to your favourite denim? Contrast stitching is a subtle way to make a pair of simple jeans feel a little more modern. Forget rips, tears, and frayed hems, this elegant detail makes sure your jeans still feel premium, and with the added benefit of a creating a visually sculpting effect.
The inky blue colour and front seam stitching make this jeans look designer.
These jeans come in seven different washes, so from black to stonewashed blue, you're spoilt for choice.

@pia_mbdStyle Notes: When it comes to jeans, high-waisted jeans are the secret weapon to confidence. We all know the discomfort of an ill-fitting waistband that cuts your tummy in two, but when an ultra high-rise pair hit just right, they nip in at the waist and create an enviable hourglass, while the length of denim draws the eye down making legs look even longer too. What's not to love? Whether a kick flare or straight leg fit, Levi's led the charge with last year's clever "ribcage" jean, and whether you're wearing a cosy cardigan or an oversized shirt, a high waist is perfect for tucking in tops.
If you thought seven different washes was impressive these come in no less than 24 colours. There's grey, white, brown leather, medium blue, light, distressed...

@ali_tate_cutlerStyle Notes: Clumsy eaters and accident prone readers, avert your eyes now. Along with the pastels and prints we've come to love and expect from spring trends are palette cleansing white, cream, and ecru jeans, light enough to wear throughout summer too. If you hear white denim and your first thought is "skin-tight-see-through-jeans", I assure you, the answer is far more stylish. The coolest jeans now are loose or wide-leg, and come in cream coloured, thick cotton that immediately looks luxe when worn with slouchy knits and comfortable flats.
Seventy + Mochi's Mabel jean now comes in understated ecru. But you're going to have to join the queue.
Looking for a pair of jeans you can wear with heels? Just found them from Reiss. The kick flare hem is long enough to be worn with a heel and still cover the shoe.
Go double denim and pair with a blue denim jacket. Trust me, it works. (And Boden's denim selection is supremely good right now).

@kimturkington_Style Notes: It might be a Marmite trend, but love them or loathe them, acid wash jeans are once again making their presence felt. From 1960s California surf culture to the Noughties denim obsession (with a little ’80s punk scene thrown in for good measure) denim and distressed detailing go hand-in-hand, and if you want your jeans to look fashionably "lived in", the acid wash is the style for you. I love Kim Turkington's take on high/low dressing by pairing rough and ready jeans with a ladylike cardigan and shoes, but the Bally runway made the most of worn in, subtly bleached denim with slick leather and plenty of eyeliner.
There's something '80s reminiscent about these high-waisted, acid washed, tapered jeans.
Mother denim always gets jeans right, abd the Kick It style is no exception. Dress up with a blazer and heels, or keep it cool in a tee and trainers.
