5 Easy Ways I've Worn My Favourite Straight-Leg Jeans Recently

If you regularly find yourself reading myBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing articles, you'll probably know I'm a big fan of Arket—and especially their denim. Last year I invested in their Jade Cropped Slim Stretch Jeans in a classic blue and raved about them here—they're such an easy slim leg jean to style. After wearing those on repeat and being impressed with the lasting quality, this year I decided to try the brand's new straight cropped stretch jeans (yes, the names are a bit of a mouthful, but stay with me).
Although similar, this new pair has a slightly looser straight leg and I got these in a washed black colour as I was really missing ta darker pair from my collection. What impressed me most with the first pair I bought was how comfy the addition of some slight stretch is. I'm usually a fan of vintage-style rigid denim, but after getting firmly acquainted with leggings and tracksuits in recent years, I needed something a bit comfier to wear day to day. I was so glad to find this new pair were equally as comfy, and still with no unsightly sagging denim in sight.
Unsurprisingly, I've barely taken these jeans off since I got them. So, I thought it might be helpful to share five of my favourite outfits I've styled them with recently that are all easy, polished and prove how versatile these jeans are. For reference I'm 5'2, size 10 and I sized up to a 29 to get a bit of a looser fit. I've also added in product links below for you to shop out the looks. Happy scrolling!
