The jeans I can't live without... & Other Stories, Reiss, M&S

Denim has come a long way from being just the 'weekend only' kind of wardrobe staple. And for me, i live in them everyday, even to work. If you work in a more rigid work uniform envirmonment, fear not! for there are more polished styles that could would pass the traditional 'workwear' test.

Now available in all different shapes and styles, we're reaching for our jeans when getting dressed up just as much as when we're dressing down. As we approach new year trends, investing in new denim styles is an easy way to drastically level up your styling and outfit silhouettes to your favourite tops, jumpers and jackets.

Wondering which jean styles to invest in for spring? We've rounded-up the classical and trending news styles of jeans in a format of basic, better, best. To suit all price points and fashion appetites, from household icon brands to emerging smaller brands who champion recycled materials and sustainable practices such as Albaray. From wide-leg to polished slim styles, here is our GH insider guide to all things denim.

Wide-leg jeans

Don't be put off by the name, wide leg jeans don't have to be super wide. This cut makes a great off-duty jean for weekends when worn with a roll-neck under an oversized shirt.

Pair with your trusty trainers for now, but get ready to swap them out for a pair of Birkenstocks come summer.

Barrel Leg

Many brands are wising up to the new micro denim trend hitting the streets, bringing a breath of fresh air to the usual denim styles. The Barrel-leg jean is tapered at the inner leg creating an oversized ballooning affect. As trends are swaying towards the laid-back effortless vibe, these jeans will help you achieve this aesthetic more so than your structured slim fit style. Go for darker shades to maintain a more lux feel, paired with ballet flats and slim fit blazers or go for khaki or light wash denim for a more androgynous yet casual style.
