The straight leg jean is the breakout style of the year. From fashion editors to influencers, everyone’s wearing a pair right now.
The straight leg jean is the denim to be seen in this year. It’s the more flattering alternative to the skinny jean, fitted over the hips and then straight over the legs, giving you a little more room to breathe.
Fashion editors have been wearing this style so religiously over the last few seasons that Topshop have just released an ‘Editor’ style, a clear sign the straight leg is doing something right.
They are as flexible as they are functional, as easy to wear during the day as they are at night. For easy office style wear a dark pair with a tucked in v neck jumper, checked blazer and heeled ankle boots; at night pair them with a strappy mule, sheer blouse and oversized chandelier earrings.
The beauty of these jeans is, they can be worn with pretty much anything. Here are the top five pairs to buy now.
