As much as I’ll forever swear by a great pair of jeans, even your most dependable workhorse can sometimes feel a little, well, basic. Yes, you want your denim to go with everything. Yes, you want it to feel stylish enough to carry you through Tuesday meetings and Saturday dinners alike. But does that mean it needs to feel predictable? Absolutely not. Happily, this season, M&S has released a pair of jeans that feel versatile, wearable, and timeless, but with a twist: the High Waisted Pintuck Wide Leg Jeans.

Served up in a breezy wide-leg shape and cut at the angle for a relaxed fit, the jeans are incredibly easy to work into your wardrobe. The rise sits high on the waist, creating a flattering, elongated silhouette. But what I appreciate most about them is the pintuck detail down the front. Inspired by tailored trousers, the neat pintuck adds a sleek and polished flair to the casual staple.

As with most of its denim offerings, M&S sells the High Waisted Pintuck Wide Leg Jeans in extra short, petite, regular and long lengths, so you’ll find your perfect fit no matter your body type. Whether you wear yours with a sleek T-shirt and trainers, a chunky cashmere knit and ankle-length boots, or style them with a dress layered over, the styling potential is truly endless. While this particular pair is only rendered in a medium blue wash, the Pintuck Wide Leg Ankle Grazer Jeans are similar and come in three shades.

Simple yet with a twist, I’m christening these jeans the perfect subversive basic. They’re effortless enough to wear every day, but won’t fade into the background. So, if you’ve been looking to zhuzh up your wardrobe essentials, consider adding this fast-selling design to your cart immediately.
