A darker indigo denim makes a wide-leg cut feel elevated – ready for evening, even. Mango’s loose-legged jeans are stiff enough to look much more expensive than they really are. Team them with a black blazer and high heel, and see what we mean.

Tick off two trends in one with Ganni’s wide-legged cargo jeans. Available in both deep indigo and faded grey, they sit wide through the legs and are detailed with contrast-stitch patch pockets. Use them to bring a boyish twist to the brand’s cult puff-sleeve tops.

Trust us: Weekday’s denim is some of the best on the high street. The Rail cut is loose but straight, so looks great with flats and heels alike. This opaque, deep black makes a more polished proposition than classic vintage blue.

This gently washed pair from Frame features the ultimate confidence-boosting cut. High on the waist and just-wide-enough through the legs, they’re guaranteed to make you feel exceptional.

In true-blue denim, Agolde’s Low Slung Baggy style is the perfect vintage-style choice. They’re unfussy and precisely shaped to sit neatly on the hips. Wear then with a simple white tank, adding a red lip for the ultimate French-girl finish.

Marks and Spencer has nailed it with these (surprisingly) spot-on wide-leg jeans. The added lyocell means they’ll stretch a little – ideal if you want all-day comfort – while the loose-legged cut is longer than most, so ideal for taller wearers.

Ba&sh jeans are not only cool but they’re comfy too, meaning stiff and restrictive can become firmly a thing of the past. Praise be.

Reiss’ Marion style is more of a wide, straight leg than a full-on flare: a good in-between choice for those who want stay in the sartorial shallow end.
