How to style straight-leg jeans
If you're deciding what must-have staples you need in your wardrobe, a pair of straight-leg jeans should be at the top of your list. Cut to a universally flattering fit that hits the sweet spot between baggy and skinny, they’re the easiest (and arguably chicest) jeans to have on rotation.
If you’re struggling with what to wear with straight-leg jeans, the answer is easier than you think. By day, rely on a trusty T-shirt in a boxy fit that will mirror the subtle volume you’ve added below. Then, throw on trainers or boots for ease. Come evening, elevate your look with a tailored shirt or ruffled blouse, paired with kitten heels.
When in doubt, keep styling simple and opt for a pair of black straight-leg jeans that'll pair with pretty much anything.

The best shoes to wear with straight-leg jeans
For a smarter feel, we love to style straight-leg jeans with a pair of loafers or ballet pumps. Try our viral leather loafers for a sleek, considered finish to workwear, or bring a glam feel to night-out looks with our zebra-print pumps.
On more casual occasions, you can always rely on sandals or trainers for all-day comfort. We're currently coveting these fishermen-style sandals – guaranteed to keep you cool during the warmer months.
When colder weather arrives, you might be wondering how to wear ankle boots with straight-leg jeans. The key is in finding a pair that'll just hit the ankle-grazing hem or tuck neatly below it. You can't go wrong with our black leather Chelsea boots as a versatile addition to your wardrobe.

The best straight-leg jeans for women
For a reliable, everyday style, look to our Sienna jeans. They’re made in super soft, stretchy denim that sculpts your body. They also come in a whole host of colours, meaning they're an easy foundation piece in your daily rotation.
If comfort is key, try our Magic Shaping jeans. They’re cut from cotton-rich denim with extra stretch so they move with you. Plus, they have a flattering high-rise waist with back darts to guarantee a gap-proof fit. Team them with a simple T-shirt and trainers and you're good to go.
Got evening plans? Add subtle sparkle to your outfit with our embellished indigo jeans. Adorned with glistening studs in a swirling pattern, they're a glam alternative to your usual denim. Just add a slinky blouse and pumps to complete your ensemble.
