The Only 4 Jean Shapes You Need

Best for: Off-duty cool and an androgynous/feminine balance.

Wear with: Shackets and sneakers on the weekend, heels and a going-out-top for an evening look that doesn’t try too hard.

Best of the bunch: We love Frame and Paige for perfect blue washes, comfy low-slung fits and cool turn-up details.

Best for: An easy foundation for any look – consider them the most fuss-free basic out there.

Wear with: Heels (essential for avoiding a frumpy look) and an oversized blazer to prove you know what you’re doing with proportions.

Best of the bunch: AG’s leather-like styles are perfect for a cool evening look, then just add boots and a knit for easy winter style.

Best for: A flattering shape – whether it’s a cropped wide leg style or a statement, throwback flared, high-waisted pairs will elongate your legs and minimise your hips and thighs.

Wear with: Tucked in layers – creating a cinched in waistline is essential.

Best of the bunch: We love an ankle-skimming style for boots for day-to-night, and J Brand’s dark Joan design will carry you right through the season.

Best for: A fashion-forward approach to denim – from blue washes to crisp white, this is the jean shape to adopt now.

Wear with: Anything and everything – straight has officially replaced skinny as the fashion girl’s everyday choice. Add animal prints and western details for an on-trend edit.

Best of the bunch: AG nails it again with their frayed-edge design; ideal for those after a relaxed, undone look.
