This year I decided I want to wear what I own more often. It may sound silly, because of course we wear our own clothes, but what I mean is I feel as though I’ve neglected some of my much-loved pieces over the past couple of years. So with this in mind, I had a try-it-on session at home, digging out some of my trusty favourites. While some gems were found (hello, vintage Dior jacket I had forgotten about), when it came to denim, I realised my initial plan failed. My favourite H&M jeans I wore on heavy rotation throughout 2018 and 2019 split (literally) at the seams when I tried to put them on. And the rest of my denim collection didn’t quite make me feel good anymore. And there’s nothing worse than ill-fitting, tight denim to put a dampener on how you feel about an outfit.
So, after taking some jeans to the charity shop that no longer worked for me, I asked some of my fellow fashion editors and influencer friends about their favourite denim brands. J Brand, Boyish and sustainable label Seventy + Mochi were among the favourite, along with high street heroes & Other Stories, M&S and Weekday. Denim with a recommendation are worth looking into, and as I started my search for some new jeans, I discovered spring/summer 2022’s hottest denim trends have all been ticked off by these brands – from retro flares to baggy 90s. So to save you the epic search of finding the best jeans you can invest in for spring (and beyond), I’ve rounded up 5 styles, cuts and colours everyone is already backing, with inspiration on how to wear everything from blue denim to flamingo pink.
