Thinking about getting a new pair of M&S jeans? You might just hit a jackpot! f you’re anything like me, you need to be very particular when it comes to jeans. The fit has to be perfect; no space at the waist, the correct leg length is a must and I can’t deal with my jeans being too tight. I have my own set of standards, but if there’s a brand I deem worthy of checking out, it’s Marks & Spencer.

This iconic British brand is seriously underrated on so many levels, especially their denim collection. They start at a particularly low cost of £22.50, and as they’ve been making jeans for decades, you can be confident they know what they’re doing. Come rain or shine, fashion’s infatuation with jeans remains steadfast. They have solidified their place as a reliable and timeless fashion staple that transcends seasonal trends, and we all need at least one pair in our wardrobes.

Jeans have been getting looser and looser in the last few years, perhaps cemented when Kate Moss graced the Bottega Veneta SS23 runway in a pair of effortlessly chic baggy jeans. The jeans trends for 2024 are wide-ranging though, going from the ever-popular mom jeans to the Y2K-inspired low-rise jeans.

If you’re meticulous about yours, you’re probably looking for brands that can offer both quality and style. M&S‘ can give you just that.  Whether it’s their highly sought-after summer dresses or chic sandals, the brand has a reputation for excellence that’s hard to match, and their jeans are no exception. Having personally put various styles to the test, I can confirm that the hype is real. The range of denim options available is impressive, and they fit me so, so well.

Below, I’ve compiled an edit of my personal favourites. With most styles coming in under £45, these are definitely worth a try. Next, wondering what to pair with your favourite denim pants?
