There are only 4 jeans you need this season and each of them matches perfectly with some of autumn/winter’s key trends. Meet your new season wardrobe update:
The Jean: FLARED
The Trend: ’70s BOHO
The Theory:
When it comes to flared jeans, the haute hippy look is a must. Give shades of tan, burgundy and khaki a lift with a light pink layer; it’s less obvious than white or cream and keeps it fresher than toning down with black. The sleeveless jacket is a must-have layering tool in between seasons and will work equally well over a chunky knit when the temperature drops. The key to this look? Think more comeback less throwback.

The Jean: BLACK
The Trend: GRAPHIC MONOCHROME
The Theory:
Black jeans can transport you from day to night and smart to dressed-down with ease and their slimming benefits need no explanation. Update yours for the new season with a top-to-toe monochrome look. Think graphic, geometric prints where contrast is key. There’s something utterly sleek about a simple jeans + trainers look in black and white.

The Jean: RELAXED
The Trend: ADORN & EMBELLISH
The Theory:
Beads, sequins, jewels, in fact, any added extras that bring a touch of sparkle into the mix are all hot right now. Long gone are the days when these details were saved for evening wear, so give your relaxed fit jeans a new lease of life by teaming with colour and sparkle. Remember; sequins are for life, not just for Christmas.

The Jean: SKINNY
The Trend: RED HOT
The Theory:
Brighten up your trusty skinny jeans with a flash (or three) of this season’s stand-out colour: red. Mix tone-on-tone reds from oxblood to scarlet within one outfit and ground them with a fail-safe, wear anywhere blue skinny. Style block colour accessories on opposite ends of the rouge gauge and bring them together with a patterned jacket or top. Add a mid-neutral (AKA grey!) base layer to compliment the brights and dress down the heels and embellishment. Opting for a red printed top instead? Try a classic camel wool coat for added chic appeal.
