When I found out that M&S was number one for women's jeans in the UK, I was hardly surprised. The high street stalwart has nailed the brief when it comes to stylish, comfy denim that sits comfortably within my budget, encompassing the classic silhouettes, as well as the ever-changing denim trends. From the carrot jeans that sold more than 20,000 times to the drawstring jeans that teeter between denim and joggers, it's clear that M&S has got it all. My personal highlight? The M&S Sienna Miller barrel-leg jeans.
We have long admired Sienna Miller’s jean-wearing abilities – easily dressing them up or down and always reminding us of our love of denim. When Miller's highly anticipated M&S collaboration launched late last year, I was elated that the popular Barrel Leg jeans made a comeback before, naturally, selling out within seconds. I, too, was part of the unlucky bunch that tried - and failed - to find my size in stock, but fear not, because while the Sienna M&S jeans are now out of stock, there are plenty of identical barrel jean options from M&S and beyond.
Take for example, the light wash barrel leg jeans from M&S, certain to be your new spring/summer hero - plus, the slouch means this style is surprisingly comfy. You can style up a la Miller with your favourite tailored blazer and leather boots, adding more structure to the voluminous jeans, or play into the oversized silhouette with a slouchy jumper and trainers.

As far as the best M&S jeans go, these are our favourite. Marks & Spencer's mid-rise relaxed horseshoe jeans offer a fresh silhouette with their unique horseshoe shape. The relaxed fit through the leg provides ultimate comfort, while the mid-rise waist ensures a flattering fit. Made from soft, slightly stretchy denim, they're perfect for all-day wear. Team with a casual top and trainers for a laid-back look.

Fashion writer Gemma Laver's favourite Barrel Leg jeans are from Abercrombie & Fitch, and also bear incredible resemblance to Miller's sell-out M&S pair. Gemma proves just how easy this denim trend is to style; from waistcoats and platform sandals for the perfect office outfit, to trending rugby shirts and loafers or even a timeless roll-neck for the (persevering) cold climate, the barrel leg denim style is as versatile as it gets.
