23 Best Straight Leg Jeans That Come Approved By The Fashion Pack

It's easy to fall for comfort when garments like black leggings exist… But, trust us: straight leg jeans are more stylish and just as versatile, plus they come with a seal of approval from every fashion insider. Topshop even named their iconic straight-leg jean the ‘editor’ because so many stylists are fans of the style…

Think of straight leg jeans as the more casual take on your classic cigarette pants. Straight up and no messing. They are usually fitted at the waist and hips but looser from the thighs onward – although, we're spotting several pairs of low-waist and mid-rise silhouettes as baggy jeans replace our collection of skinny jeans for good.

Straight-leg jeans are also a close relative of our other favourites, mom jeans, but the slightly sharper-cut leg shape edges towards the smarter section of your wardrobe (depending on how you're planning on styling them, of course.) This cut is the most dependable style to choose when posed with the ‘what to wear to work’ question.

Our favourite ways to style straight-leg jeans for your IRL office days? First up, add an oversized blazer. The extra volume on your top half will balance the narrow leg shape below, particularly if you wear them with a fitted top or t-shirt. Perfect fit straight leg jeans also look the business with a crisp white shirt, tucked in to show off a designer belt, and worn with loafers. Iconic.

They're a staple among influencers and we've been seeing tonnes of styling ideas for straight leg jeans worn with ankle boots for autumn or ballet flats. Of course straight legs jeans also work as an off-duty dream with fashion trainers.

You could try them with a sporty sweatshirt or slogan tee, slicked back hair, chunky trainers and an oversized trench coat for Saturday morning iced latte runs and then swap to a slinky silk camisole, tucked in, then add some statement jewellery and a strappy sandal. Either way, straight leg jeans are the wardrobe staple you'll wonder how you ever lived without.
