We round up the best denim must-haves to suit all ages and sizes.
Denim jeans

Every girl needs the perfect jeans, but getting a pair you love can be a difficult job. I believe that there is the perfect style for everyone – you just have to find them.

The straight-leg jean

This style is perfect for everyday wear. These Gordon Smith jeans from Farmers have a high rise, which sits comfortably on your waist. A control panel in the front helps hold your tummy in.

The skinny jean

A high-fashion look, this narrow jean can make you appear taller and slimmer. If you are new to this style, start wearing a longer top or tunic over them.

Bag $89.99 from Portmans. Shoes $24.99 from Number One Shoes.

The black jean

This is a great option if you want something that is easy to wear and works with everything, but is dressier than traditional denim finishes. The zip detail makes the jean a bit more formal than the traditional five-pocket style.

Jeggings

Show off your shapely ankles. Cropped pants look great with heels, flats or ankle boots. Jeggings (denim leggings) are a great option for those who find jeans too constricting and uncomfortable. Soft and stretchy, wear them with long shirts or slouchy jumpers. This style is also ideal for wearing with knee-high boots as there is no fabric to tuck in.

The boyfriend jean

This relaxed and comfortable  style is one of this year’s biggest looks in denim. Usually a little bit scruffy and torn, the pair pictured is less dramatically distressed – for those of us past our teenage years. The thigh seam is part of the “moto” trend – a motorbike-inspired look that we will see a lot more of. These jeans are the softest denim using a new-knit fibre that makes them comfortable.

Bag $119.99 from Farmers. Bracelet $24.99 from Jacqui-E. Boots $49.99 from Number One Shoes.
