It's official, we're breaking up with skinny jeans. Done. Finished. Expect our 'consciously uncoupling' statement on the 'gram very soon.
They used to be our go-to for pretty much any occasion. Office? Black skinny jeans. Weekend? Blue skinny jeans. Summer? Ripped skinny jeans. They were essentially our second skin, but we've now swapped them for their cooler, laid-back cousin - the straight leg.

The straight leg jean is (surprisingly) far more flattering and suits everyone. A fit that's more body-skimming than body-suffocating. A jean that's more fun.
We're thinking trainer-skimming lengths, different hues of denim and enough rips that a relative will be forced to remind you, 'your jeans are ripped!'
From ASOS Design to Missguided, we've found the very best straight leg denim to shop on the high-street...
