Versatile staples like this are what M&S does best.
Arket nails the denim trends every season, and this pair is no exception.

A true classic. I just love the contrast between the exaggerated shoulders and the nipped-in waist.
Frame jeans are pleasingly premium, and the kind of denim that will last a lifetime.

Shop the Look:
New Balance trainers always sell out fast—shop them while you can.

This wash feels dressier than classic blue—add heels and red lipstick when you hit the town.
9. Leather Blazer + Bodysuit + Flared Jeans
Style Notes: There's a lot going on with this look, and we can't get enough of it. Bonus points for the exposed bodysuit—that's ticking a major 2024 trend box.

10. Double-Breasted Blazer + Straight-Leg Jeans + Loafers
Style Notes: Double-breasted blazers always feel incredibly classy—just like loafers, so why not style them together?

Size up to layer knitwear underneath.
11. Relaxed Blazer + Roll-Neck Top + Cropped Jeans
Style Notes: A relaxed blazer is the perfect throw-on for those low-effort days when you still want to look put-together. Throw on some sleek patent ballet flats and a sophisticated roll-neck, and you have the perfect ensemble to dress up your cropped jeans.
