Great jeans start with the fit
Whether you wear jeans every day or they're strictly for weekends, chances are they play an important role in your wardrobe. Finding the perfect pair can feel like a never-ending quest but M&S denim is here to save you the slog. Our men's jeans collection builds on our best-selling shapes such as the straight and slim, and brings fresh new fits to the party including baggy and barrel, inspired by the Y2K trend.
The straight fit is a versatile wardrobe staple and a firm customer favourite. Our slim fit is narrow through the leg, with smart five-pocket styling, contrasting with our loose fit with its roomy straight leg. The relaxed straight fit is exactly that: relaxed through the thigh with a straight leg, while the skinny fit our closest-fitting shape. Our jeans come in both shorter and longer lengths to suit your height, with a wide selection of styles available in Big & Tall sizes too.

Try our latest washes, fabrics and innovations
For perfectly worn-in jeans without the wait, our authentic washes look great straight off the hanger. Plus, we've added new washes across our tapered, relaxed straight and loose fits for a more off-duty look. Our jeans are designed with style front of mind, including our new comfort stretch denim engineered with a soft touch for all-day wear. The best bit? They're comfy enough to travel in.
Our denim offers brilliant value for money, with Autograph's Japanese selvedge jeans a particularly smart staple you'll wear for years to come. We source these premium jeans from specialist mill Kaihara, which is renowned for its exceptional quality. At £60 they're a fraction of the price you'll find elsewhere.
