Parisians Have Quietly Replaced Skinnies With This Chic Jeans Trend—Now I’m Seeing It at M&S, Mango and H&M
Everywhere I look, fashion people are styling the patch-pocket jeans trend. Read on to find our edit of the best pairs to buy now.


If you’ve read any of my articles, it won’t surprise you to learn that I’m a denim devotee.
Still, even I can grow weary of the same familiar silhouettes that circulate season after season. Craving something fresher, I've found myself drawn to a retro-inspired denim trend that’s already doing the rounds this autumn. First, I started spotting it in the new-in sections of my favourite retailers. Then, I noticed influencers I always look to for inspiration—particularly the French—styling it with renewed enthusiasm. It clicked: patch-pocket jeans are about to become one of the season's favourite buys.
Otherwise designed like any other jeans, in wide-leg, flared and straight iterations, this denim trend is set apart by the small patch-pocket detailing that sits at the front of the legs. With roots in the ’70s, this style carries a carefree, bohemian spirit that feels relaxed and well aligned with the wider swing towards boho-inspired dressing we’re seeing this year.
Unlike other denim trends that act as a blank canvas, patch-pocket jeans feel more directional on their own. They look equally at home paired with billowy blouses to play up their pretty side, or with a graphic tee to lean into their retro energy.
Whilst a few months ago it felt like skinny jeans were the nostalgic style set to take over, in actuality, these cool pairs are experiencing far more favour. Firmly lodged in the rotations of French fashion people, patch-pocket jeans translate the easy yet elevated essence that they're so well known for.
I’ve already bookmarked plenty of chic pairs, and I don’t expect it to be long before this trend goes fully mainstream. If you’re ready to get ahead of the curve, keep scrolling for my edit of the best patch-pocket jeans to shop now.
