25 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. There's a reason Topshop named their iconic straight-leg jean the ‘editor’, after all. But with so many jeans styles to choose from — baggy, skinny, boot-cut, flare, to name only a few — why should the straight-leg earn a space in your wardrobe?
The answer is simple: they're incredibly easy to style, offer a more formal fit to the well-loved wide-leg jean, and you'll find an option in every cut and colour, meaning your perfect pair is sure to be out there somewhere. Plus, they're inoffensive enough to never fall out of trend cycles like their skinny, low-rise or barrel-leg counterparts, so they're sure to stick around in your wardrobe for an impressive amount of time.
Straight-leg jeans are also a close relative of our other favourite tapered-leg 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. So if you're wanting to wear them to work with loafers and a blazer — or on the weekend with a simple white t-shirt and trainers — consider straight-leg jeans you're all-round outfit solution.
And, if you need further convincing, or perhaps a little visual inspiration, straight-leg jeans also made an appearance across the Autumn/Winter runways of Chanel, Etro, and Isabel Marant. We told you they mean big business.
Now, we've got your new denim cut sorted, all that's left for you to do is work out whether you'd prefer high-rise, mid-rise or low-rise, non-stretch or extra elastane, and ankle-grazing or slightly longer in length. Plus, you'll have to try them on of course. The rest? Leave it up to us, as we've scoured our favourite stores for the best straight-cut denim with every price tag.
