The Best High Street Jeans That You’ll Think Are Actually Designer Denim

I was pleasantly surprised by M&S’ denim selection when I visited their Oxford Street store. They had a wide variety of styles, and what stood out to me was that most of their jeans are available in short, regular, and long lengths. I ended up choosing this pair as my favourite in a size 10UK and long. The denim is soft, comfortable, and has a generous amount of stretch. In hindsight, I feel like I could have sized down for a snugger fit.

Slim ankle jeans aren't really my forte, but trying these on I had a bit of a change of heart. I find that mom jeans are flattering and offers endless amount of styling options. Everyone needs a pair of these.

The cut of these jeans was the first thing that stood out to me. It's like a denim slash jogging bottom hybrid which make them great for everyday in the office. I'd style this with a crisp white shit and a chunky loafer.

I saw these on the rack and picked them up immediately, these will definitely be a statement piece in your wardrobe. I picked up in a size 28 but I will say it did fit a little looser than I expected. My only qualm is that there's only one leg length available.

I love Zara’s turn-up jeans because they strike the perfect balance between comfort and style. They fit snugly around the waist but have a flattering wide leg, giving them a relaxed yet polished look. I own two pairs in size 10 UK, and they’ve become a staple in my wardrobe.

Baggy jeans can often feel light and flimsy, However, with this Bershka pair, the fabric feels more substantial, offering a good balance of softness and sturdiness. They drape well without losing their shape, which makes them perfect for casual wear while still looking put together. Plus, the added weight ensures they last longer and don’t wear out as quickly as other lightweight options.

Natalie Hammond Senior Fashion News Editor said, ‘These Mint Velvet jeans have become my number one for weekend trips when you can only pack one pair of jeans. Firstly, they fit my pear-shaped figure – small waist, larger hips – much better than most jeans on the market. Secondly, I went for the ‘long’ length, which, at my height of 5’7”, means they’re easy to style as they are with heeled ankle boots or cuffed with flats (I told you they were hardworking). I’ve also worn them several times when flying and it’s not terrible, which, in the world of jeans, is kind of miraculous.’

Gabriela Valesco Junior Bookings Editor said, ‘I love my boyfriend Levi jeans. Considering they brush the floor with my 5'4 frame, they've barely frayed at the bottom over the four years I've owned them. They're super comfortable and I really appreciate being able to dress them up and down, so I can wear them to the office, on a night out or for a casual hang with friends.’

Jada Langola-Walters social media assistant said, 'The actual jeans I have on this picture are not in stock(dr denim Bella balloon leg jeans) but, these ones from All Saints are just as good (if not better). They're made for organic cotton, which is important for someone like me, who is trying to be more conscious about where I shop. It has a nice relaxed fit and the high waist sucks me in nicely.'

Whitney Jones Editorial Assistant said, 'These Snake print carpenter trousers are perfect for those who want to look put together with minimal effort. They are very versatile, taking you from day to night, think cool office chic to drinks with the girls. They can be a little baggy on the lower leg but the waist to hip ratio evens this out.'
