One Pair of Jeans, Three Ways
If there’s one thing we want… no, need, in our wardrobe this year, it’s a hardworking pair of jeans. The kind of denim that doesn’t need overthinking, you can put them on and know you look great without even looking in the mirror, the kind of jeans that somehow work for every plan in your calendar. Enter: black classic barrel jeans. Here’s how we’re styling our favourite pair three ways, for three very different days – because outfit repeating is encouraged when it looks this good.
After-Dark Espresso Martinis
The outfit your night-out wardrobe has been waiting for. Black barrel jeans set the tone: sleek, elevated and perfect to pair with a fitted faux leather blazer for that sharp-but-not-trying-too-hard look. Keep the palette dark and elevated for your evening out, then break it up with a brown suede ruched clutch to cut through the all-black moment. Finish with a glossy headband and sculptural gold earrings, because late-night drinks deserve a little extra drama.

Casual Friday, Done Properly
Relaxed, but not too relaxed. This is how you do Casual Friday right, without ‘under-doing it’ at the office. Your new jeans anchor the look – styled with a beige bomber for that no-stress, throw-on-and-go appeal, or a pink bomber for a dose of colour. Faux suede heels keep it polished enough for days at your desk, while a statement animal-print pony hair bag (zebra, obviously) brings just the right amount of personality into your workday. It’s office-appropriate, after-work-drinks appropriate and requires zero effort, exactly how Fridays should be.

Get Your City-Girl Steps In
Built for weekend wandering, city sightseeing and stopping at every coffee shop you come across, your new go-to look combines sleek city-ready chic, with effortless ‘I just threw this on’ cool factor . For this kind of day out, comfort is non-negotiable – and so is style. First things first, jeans and a nice top. Pair your black barrel jeans with a crisp white tee and layer with a statement trench; leopard print if you’re feeling bold, deep plum and leather if you’re keeping it classy. When it comes to footwear, trainers are the only option here: go leopard to match your coat or stick with brown suede for a more neutral stride. Practical, pretty and looks cute – even after your 10k steps are in.
