Sartorially speaking it’s not the most exciting time of year. Party season is a distant, glitter-doused memory, but the cold weather means that sparkles have been replaced by a rotation of enveloping jumpers. To add a bit of oomph to your January uniform, I suggest finding a new style of jeans – one of the easiest updates you can give your workaday wardrobe.
You may recoil in horror at the notion of straying from your favourite denim. I, for one, am devoted to a trusty pair of flares from Boden (sadly now discontinued). But this season the shops are awash with fresh and flattering pairs – at a startling range of prices, with styles costing as much as £480.
So we’ve picked the best jeans in five key styles for 2025. For each, we’ve included one standout pair worth splurging on – and one (remarkably similar) budget-friendly style. See if you can tell which is which... Chic wide-leg flares look good with everything.
Opt for a hipster style and a loose fit around the thighs. Don’t assume they’re only for casual wear; instead, dress them up with a pair of smart boots. Uniqlo’s £39.99 style delivers relaxed elegance. Jeans, £220, now £154, 7forallmankind.co.uk; jacket, £295, Rails at trilogystores.co.uk; boots, £295, russellandbromley.co.uk.
