On Date Night
Bootcut jeans are very much back, and I just love how sculpting this style is -whilst still remaining comfortable and stretchy! For a pulled together look, I would style them with some heels, a sleek silk cami top, a clutch bag, then completed with a cropped fitted blazer for a considered flourish.

Airport Life
We all know that airports, plus potential long flights require ease and convenience. The Josefina boyfriend jeans are more stretchy than sweatpants, which is why they’re are always my go-to whenever I fly. For a touch of luxe, I style mine alongside an understated nice cashmere jumper, comfy trainers and sunglasses (to hide my tired eyes)!

Everyday Staples
Confession: I pretty much live in these jeans. They are so versatile, and can be styles with a T-shirt, dressier top or jumper – it all depends on the occasion. To bring a fashionable edge I finish with a pair of designer trainers, just like these ones from Cole Haan.

Off Duty
The Roxanne jeans are my go-to, largely because of their Slim Evolution technology (which means they’re super flexible and have exceptional shape retention). They’re ideal for off-duty dressing, be it a spent weekend shopping, or simply a post-lockdown walk in the park. I like to wear mine with a structured sweatshirt, and casual boots. When it comes to accessories, I like to keep them as simple as my outfit, so a simple silver chain does the job.

Smart Casual
Let’s be honest, we’re all in search of the perfect day-to-evening look, especially as we start to return to the office. Fortunately, we think we’ve got it sorted. These dark blue stretch jeans will go with pretty much anything, however for a timeless ensemble, look to an ever-stylish Breton top, simple oversized blazer and heeled boots. There’s a reason this outfit never goes out of favour…

‘Jeans and a Nice Top’
It wouldn’t be a denim edit without mention of the forever failsafe combination – jeans and a nice top. If you’re unfamiliar with the concept, this is a classic pairing, the outfit you look to when you feel like nothing else in your wardrobe will work. When it comes to the choice of denim, a dark wash is best as it’s slightly more dressy and matches with pretty much any top.
