Just a few weeks ago I popped into Marks & Spencer to try on a few of its new-in items. Keen to try a good mix, I selected a few jackets and knitwear pieces as well as some jeans and took to the changing rooms. Whilst I had a largely successful trip, I'm still thinking about a particular pair of jeans that have been on my mind since I walked out the door.
I'd easily proclaim myself a jeans fanatic but I typically stick to easy-to-style straight-leg or slightly baggy pairs for my day-to-day outfits and rarely step outside my comfort zone. But, on a whim, I picked up M&S' Wide Palazzo Leg Jeans (£45) and honestly, I fell in love.
Composed of a stretchy cotton fabric, these jeans are soft and incredibly comfortable. With a wide-leg silhouette, the cut offers plenty of volume, helping to add a little bit of drama to an outfit in the easiest way whilst feeling wearable and incredibly comfortable.
Whilst I was drawn to the black pair, these jeans also come in mid-blue and light-blue washes. I styled mine with a chunky lug-sole boot, but I think they'd look chicer still if paired with a kitten heel or pointed-toe boot. Available in short, regular and long lengths from sizes 6–20, I took a size 10 in the regular length—my normal size—and they fit perfectly.
It turns out that I'm not the only person in the Who What Wear UK team buzzing about these jeans. Our editor-in-chief Hannah Almassi tells me that her mum and her best friend have already bought them, proving that they're a hit across generations too.
Already on their way to selling out, I predict this pair won't be around for very much longer, so read on to discover M&S' palazzo jeans and see more of our favourite pairs below.
