There's no doubt that a good pair of jeans are the hardest working item in any wardrobe. Dress them up with the failsafe 'jeans and nice top combo', or throw a jumper on for a more casual look. You can wear them with heels, knee-high boots, trainers... the list goes on! But, as with all the different styles of jeans, it can be hard to know which will be the most flattering to wear.

Wide leg jeans are the answer. They hug you in all the right places before dropping into a looser fit after the knee, meaning you can still feel comfortable and unconstrained throughout the day. They are also super timeless, having been loved and worn decade after decade.

Finding the perfect pair of jeans doesn't have to break the bank either! This pair from Next comes in at just £35 and is available in a variety of shades (but our favourite has to be the dark blue wash).

The denim they're made from is quite stretchy, so there's a lot of give in them too - great for weekend mooching, and saving you from having to pop the top button after a big meal (we can't relate more if we tried!)
