These high street jeans prove you don't always have to spend a fortune

High street jeans are better than they've ever been at the moment, for a combination of their inexpensive price points and genuinely good quality. Sure, the Great British high street may get some stick (especially if it's called Oxford Street and it's bustling with shoppers all day), but it provides the goods when it comes to wardrobe staples. Time after time after time.

Rivalling the high-end denim labels we know and love (think: Re/Done, Khaite and GRLFRND), high street jeans from brands such as Topshop, ASOS, H&M and Warehouse take the cake. Shopping for jeans is everyone's least favourite task, so knowing you're going to get a bargain (and the perfect pair) at the end of it can certainly ease the pain.

We appreciate that finding the best jeans for women is a seriously daunting task, and one that can have disastrous consequences (read: a strop in the changing room) if there's so much as a smidge of sizing discrepancy. But the good thing about shopping for jeans on the high street is that most of the time it can be done online, from the comfort of your own sofa.

You can take your time getting your measurements right, apply discount codes before checkout, and not get elbowed in the ribs by another shopper when browsing. In fact, to avoid any meltdowns whatsoever, we've done all the hard work for you and rounded up the very best pairs of high street jeans to set your sights on right now.

There’s also lots of choice. From mom jeans to boyfriend jeans, straight leg jeans, bootcut jeans, baggy jeans, low-rise jeans and high-waisted jeans, the high street caters to a wide variety of preferences, body shapes, leg lengths and heights (for petite jeans and tall jeans, head this way). Something that some designer labels are yet to catch up with.

So, which are the high street jeans we have our eyes on? Marks & Spencer is the fashion pack's secret retailer for affordable denim jeans, with their Boyfriend Ankle Grazer Jeans a modern classic. & Other Stories Favourite Cut Jeans are also a fashion editor favourite pair of jeans for their classic silhouette with a slim leg and high waist. Paired perfectly with a white t-shirt and blazer. Elsewhere, NEXT have just launched a new collection of comfy jeans, with Kendall Jenner as the face of the range. The Ultra High Rise Skinny Jeans will work with every style of shoe, boot or trainer in your wardrobe – and a chunky jumper to boot.

Flared jeans are having a moment, thanks to the retro Y2K trend, and Oasis' kick flare jeans are a sweet way to style the trend while New Look's skinny jeans have (frankly genius) sculpting seams to lift and shape. And who wouldn't like a little of that?
