I live in my black high-waisted skinny jeans because they are so easy to style: you can just throw on with any top – dressy or casual – and then add trainers or heels to make an instant outfit. In fact, a breezy cotton top, skinny black jeans and open-toe sandals is my current go-to look for warm weather.
I initially had qualms about swapping my usual black jeans for white as I’m super clumsy, so I rarely wear anything white. But I love the silhouette of these jeans: they have a high waist and wide legs so they create a really lovely shape. The plaited belt nips in the waist, too. I can see myself taking this outfit from the office to the bar – they’re definitely worth the extra washing!

My go-to style of denim is usually a straight-leg pair of jeans. I find them comfortable to be in all day at work and easy to move around in. I also think it’s the safest shape of jean – skinny or straight jeans look good on everyone and suit all shapes and sizes.
I can honestly say I’ve never worn a high-rise ‘girlfriend’ style of jean before. I was a bit sceptical at first as I thought my legs might get lost in them, but it turns out they were even more comfortable than the straight jeans I’m used to. The high-rise style was flattering as it showed off my waist and made my legs look longer. I’d wear these jeans for after-work drinks or even on a date night. They’re very easy to dress up by pairing with heels.
