When it comes to shopping for jeans, we’re positively spoiled for choice. Some would say too much choice, in fact. With so many brands, cuts, styles and price points, it can be really, really hard to know where to start.
But that’s why we’re here. To be your fashion agony aunts who do the leg work researching, trying, and analysing the best jeans out there so you don’t have to. Then cutting through the noise and bringing you the pairs we actually rate as editors, and the ones Who What Wear UK readers are genuinely buying again and again (a sure fire sign of a winner).
Which happens to be the case with & Other Stories’ Favourite Cut jeans. We can see from our data that they’re not just favourite in name— they’re actually the most popular style featured on our site by a mile and over 750 of you have invested since the high street brand overhauled its denim department and introduced them a few seasons ago.
It’s unsurprising, really, since they’re a pretty perfect straight-leg jean that comes in every denim colour you could want (7 shades to be exact), and there’s even a cropped version for us petites. They may not be the latest flared, low rise or ‘90s trend-led style, but if you’re looking for a modern yet timeless jean for under £100, they’re a bonafide wardrobe classic (made from organic cotton) you’ll wear again and again. What’s not to like?
The neat tapered ankle also makes them perfect for pairing with lots of different shoe styles, from sandals to loafers and boots— which brings me to why we’re here today. One of the hardest things when buying a new pair of jeans, as well as thinking about how you’re going to start incorporating them into your current outfit rotation, can be figuring out which pairs of shoes to wear with them.
So to help you get a head start for spring, rather than just list a bunch of great & Other Stories jeans for you to shop below, I thought I’d curate 5 ready-made spring outfits to help you with how to wear your new ‘favourite’ pair of jeans, including which shoes— new or existing— to wear with them.
From easy pub drinks to date night dinners and work-appropriate attire— keep scrolling to see and shop the outfits…
