Uniqlo x JW Anderson’s partnership has a been a fruitful one since it began in 2017, giving us so many affordable yet chic pieces for our everyday wardrobes – be it beautifully crafted jumpers or colour-blocked socks. So, it’s not terribly surprising that the jeans from the latest collection between the London designer label and the high street giant have now become yet another sell-out staple.
If you’ve been seeing a certain pair of straight-legged jeans everywhere lately, styled with cosy knits and rugby shirts, you’re not alone. While wide-legged and barrel-legged jeans might be the trending style at the moment, there’s something about a good pair of straight-legged denim that everyone always gravitates towards, especially if it’s from a dreamy designer collab.
The Uniqlo x JW Anderson’s latest drop is inspired by all things preppy. Think: ties, oxford shirts and baseball caps, but of course, also some really good jeans. The Straight Jeans come in three washes—light, medium and dark—and are also cleverly offered in three lengths—29, 31, 33 inches—so no more nipping and tucking them after purchase. You could almost customise the fit and opt for a smaller size for a high-waisted look or a few sizes larger if you’d like them baggier.
What makes them so popular is their universally flattering fit; several members of the GLAMOUR office have already purchased theirs and the reviews are nothing but glowing. Paired easily with a blazer and shirt for an office day or with your favourite rainbow jumper and a cap at the weekend, they truly are the most versatile style there is.
On the Uniqlo x JW Anderson collection, the designer said, “This season’s collection
focuses on classic items such as oxford shirts, denim jeans, polo shirts and hoodies. Jeans and
hoodies especially have been reimagined with particular attention to detail to achieve the
most ideal fit.” Well, Mr. Anderson, mission accomplished.
