Editors Eye: Jeans

By Alexandra Fullerton

The key to getting dressed with ease is to create a foundation wardrobe of adaptable separates, which all work together to build a capsule collection of go-to, go anywhere looks. Saint and Sofia’s Head of Editorial, Alexandra Fullerton, is here to reveal exactly what these essential items are in our new series, Editor’s Eye.

Build your wardrobe with great jeans.

Choose well and a great pair of jeans will become the backbone of your wardrobe, creating multiple outfits that span across almost every occasion. Jeans have the reputation of being one of the trickiest pieces to shop for, yet once you’ve found your perfect fit the effects are transformational. Happily there are a sweeping array of styles that will work for every body shape, colour preference, leg length and silhouette at Saint and Sofia.

Regardless of what the trendiest jeans shape is right now, the best jeans for you are the ones that look incredible on your body – and suit your lifestyle. Denim’s place in your wardrobe is worthy of deep dive consideration to ensure you find the ultimate shape and silhouette for you.

From their Western workwear origins, great jeans are still one of the most hardworking items in your wardrobe. Denim ticks a multitude of trends while still being absolutely timeless. Our array of premium denim pieces are all made from organic cotton which is better for the planet and softer on your skin. Each style – whether you choose a flared Bowie, relaxed Barrel Leg jean or smart Rylie Crop – has its own unique mix of characteristics.

You’ll find that distinct leg shapes suit different occasions. A flare always appears elegant while darker washes are immediately smarter looking than paler shades. Equally, indigo is the ideal winter choice and softer blues feel more suited to warm weather. Beyond blue there are a myriad of coloured washes. Chocolate brown is the most on-trend tone right now, yet it’s also neutral enough to be completely timeless. Choose your perfect pair with care and you’ll elevate your everyday looks and refresh your seasonal outfit rotation. These are the essential cuts and shades to know this season, and beyond…

Rylie Crop Jean

With a relaxed wide leg jeans shape and modern cropped cut, Rylie echoes classic denim details with five pocket construction and a sleek high-waisted silhouette. The indigo cotton fabric also includes 1% elastane, which gives these jeans a comfortable amount of stretch, without sacrificing any style. The 26inch inseam means they are ideal paired with statement shoes or sandals to help make your footwear the focus of your look.

Barrel Leg Jean

While trends in denim come and go, the Barrel Leg Jean – the newest cut on the scene – has already cemented itself as a staple style in the fashion pack’s wardrobe. If you’re wary of the bolder silhouette, be assured that Barrel Leg Jeans work for every body shape. The high waist gives a tailored fit, while the denim flows into a relaxed shape over the thighs before tapering into a neat cropped finish at the hem. Cream is a fresh shade to try in warmer weather – the bolder silhouette will add a modern twist to every outfit.

Bowie Stretch Flare Jeans

Flared jeans are classics for a reason – they suit every body shape and offer multiple opportunities to style up – and down – meaning you have so many ways to wear them. With extra elastane, the stretch gives Bowie a sculpted silhouette, while the patch pocket detail and wider hemline lends a vintage edge. Perfect for dressing up after dark with heels, add the Astrid Waistcoat in black for a modern twist to your look. Choose from Regular, Tall and Short lengths to ensure your perfect fit.

Leopard Print Jeans

Adding animal print to an outfit is one of the fashion pack’s favourite shortcuts for bringing personality to more pared-back outfits. Designed with versatility in mind, our neutral cream and brown tone leopard print is particularly easy to style. Simply echo this timeless colour combination when you’re considering your accessories and what top to team with the jeans. Our recommendations include the Cambridge Blazer in black to add polish or the Tabitha Blouse to lend a softer mood to your look.

Wide Leg Jeans

For down-time days, Wide Leg Jeans are our favourite option to add relaxed cool to your look. But while the cut offers a shot of effortless style, rest assured they’re never scruffy due to the high waistline, which looks elegant. The easy cut across your legs allows for movement and versatility when it comes to choosing your footwear. These jeans are an ideal partner for trainers and ballet flats, the wide hem means you can dress them up with a heel if your outfit needs to multitask. Brown is fashion’s favourite new neutral so is a key shade for summer, yet has seasonless appeal meaning these jeans will work year round.
