In case you forgot, there are stovepipe jeans The denim style of the moment. The high rise, straight leg and finishing right at the ankle, these are the definition of timeless denim. It’s especially nice for this time of year, the transitional season just before spring officially starts, where you have a few sunny days followed by cool, maybe rainy evenings. The reason I think they have become so popular is because of the easy, flexible nature of their style. While some denim, take wide baggy jeans for example, feel fundamentally casual, stovepipes look smarter, especially when worn the right way.
But how should they be worn? This is the question a colleague on the beauty team recently asked me. Naturally, the answer is that you can wear them. Any way, but I think the most timeless, effortless and elegant way to wear them is not with statement hero pieces, but simply to dip into your capsule wardrobe. As Shailene Woodley demonstrates here, a simple black blazer, a white T-shirt and loafers is the perfect outfit formula for every day.

Although I don’t think you need to break the bank when investing in a good pair of jeans, with a simple look like this, it’s essential that the cut and fit feel right. To achieve this, there are a few pairs of stovepipe jeans that the editors at Who What Wear UK office always rely on that are a Little More expensive. Agolde’s ’90s pinched waist style, for example, cinches in all the right places and sits perfectly on the leg. As the name suggests, they also give off a look that nods towards the clothes worn in the 90s. So if you love Caroline Bessette Kennedy as much as we do, these are for you. If your budget doesn’t stretch to Egolde prices, H&M and M&S jeans are always on target. I personally like Zara and COS as well.
Here, I’ve collected the best stovepipe jeans in a few different washes, as well as some stylish loafers to wear with them.
