When it comes to shopping for jeans, we’re positively spoilt for choice. Some would say too much choice, in fact. With so many brands, cuts, styles and price points, it can be really, really hard to know where to start.
But that’s why we’re here to be your fashion-agony saviors who do the legwork researching, trying and analysing the best jeans out there so you don’t have to. Then, we cut through the noise and bring you the pairs we actually rate as editors and the ones Who What Wear UK readers are genuinely buying again and again (a sure-fire sign of a winner).
This happens to be the case with & Other Stories’ Favourite Cut jeans. We can see from our data that they’re not just favourite in name; they’re the most popular style featured on our site by a mile, and over 750 of you have invested since the high-street brand overhauled its denim department and introduced them a few seasons ago.
They’re such a versatile jeans style.
It’s unsurprising, really, since they’re pretty perfect straight-leg jeans and come in every denim colour you could want (seven shades to be exact), and there’s even a cropped version for us petite people. They may not be the latest flared, low-rise or ’90s trend-led style, but if you’re looking for modern yet timeless jeans for under £100, they’re a bona fide wardrobe classic (made from organic cotton) you’ll wear again and again. What’s not to like?

The neat tapered ankle also makes them perfect for pairing with lots of different shoe styles, from sandals to loafers and boots, which brings me to the reason we’re here today. One of the hardest things when buying a new pair of jeans, as well as thinking about how you’re going to start incorporating them into your current outfit rotation, can be figuring out which pairs of shoes to wear with them.
So to help you get a head start for spring, rather than just listing a bunch of great & Other Stories jeans for you to shop below, I thought I’d curate five ready-made spring outfits to help you figure out how to wear your new "favourite” pair of jeans, including which shoes—new or already in your closet—to wear with them.
