The Barrel Leg Jean

By far, the most compelling style of jeans for SS24 is the barrel leg. Also sometimes called the horseshoe jean, this really unusual design has a bulbous, curved shape to it: voluminous legs flare out gracefully to the knees, tapering back in toward the ankles to create an arresting silhouette. It sounds odd, but the effect is resolutely chic-easy, effortless cool laced with an underlying sophistication that makes the style feel both stylish and mature.

The barrel is as versatile as it is statement-making, and works just as well with a slim tank top as it does a slouchier cotton shirt: just keep your waistband tucked in to make the most of the silhouette.

The Dark Wash Jean

Dark denim is quite suitable for incorporation into office-ready outfits. Team your dark wash jeans with a black blazer, heels, and a crisp white shirt for a polished workweek look. For extra flair, seal the look with a lipstick-a classic red looks stunning against dark denim.

The Wide Leg Jean

Good news for those not feeling the skinny jean revival: our favourite wide-leg jean from the Noughties is back and better than ever in 2024. Not only does the wide-leg silhouette feel incredibly comfortable, but the laid-back, easy attitude always reads as authentic. Go for a 100% cotton pair to get that rigid, non-stretch finish for a more authentic drape and shape of the larger silhouette.

The Straight-Leg Jean

Considering the era of loungewear, it wasn't out of the ordinary to find social media influencers and fashion week attendees alike in baggy 'dad-style' and vintage 'mom' jeans for SS24. However, a notable counterbalance is returning to a slim silhouette. The high-waisted, straight-leg jean is heavily returning for 2024.

Not as fitted as skinny jeans but giving off a more refined look fitting to the Quiet Luxury trend—embracing classic shapes and leaving elastic out for a polished finish. So, once you invest in good quality high-waisted, straight-leg jeans, they definitely will be your go-to piece for different versatile outfits. Pair them with your essential workweek pieces: a sharp black blazer, a crisp white tank top, and chic pointed kitten heels.

The Denim Set

Good to go in no-fuss fashion, the smart denim set looks good. This matchy-matchy set is available in incredible versatility: wear all together for instant chic or mix with your favorites for countless combinations. PTCL are currently offering an awesome brown denim set that's just right for it.

Because that's the beauty of co-ords: it's an entire outfit that requires fairly minimal effort, freeing you up to focus on accessorising. If you like to put your own spin on things, a denim jacket teamed with jeans in the same wash works just as well. Add some statement gold earrings and you're good to go from day to night.
