A new pair of jeans is the quickest way to fast-track your look into the new season – and this spring, it's time to roll out the barrel shape. Flattering on every body shape (yes, seriously) they work with everything from a weekend striped top to the silkiest blouse.

Intrigued? Here's how to wear barrel jeans, according to Red's Fashion Director, Oonagh Brennan...

The Smart Denim One

A polished, blue-denim pair of barrel jeans work well for smart, daytime dressing. Go for Whistles' high-waisted styles and wear with slingbacks and a satin puff-sleeve blouse.

The Weekend One

Cream barrel-leg jeans will work for every invitation but the easiest way to wear them is in a playful, off-duty way. Add a striped top, leopard loafers and a rocky ear cuff for a fashion edge.

The Evening One

A washed-charcoal barrel-leg jean is perfect for evening. Soften the strong silhouette with a silky parachute blouse, then add gold mules and tassel earrings for some extra sass.
