There’s an old adage that goes: if it isn’t broken, don’t fix it. Jeans are one of those wardrobe staples that get reinvented every season to crazy new proportions, cuts and shades. But sometimes, a classic, no-fuss pair of jeans is just what the doctor ordered for a spring wardrobe refresh. This spring, classic cuts and styles are breezing into the high street at affordable prices and silhouettes that suit everyone. In fact, H&M’s newest pair of jeans might just be spring’s best bargain yet.
The Wide High Waist Jeans from H&M are just £20 and come in a whopping 25 different washes. Featuring a high waist design and a wide-leg composition, these jeans are your ultimate high street hero: smart, stylish and affordable.
H&M Wide High Waist Jeans
From classic blue washes to more trendy shades like beige and grey, finding a fantastic pair of jeans that don’t break the bank is a tall order. While there are so many colours and shades to choose from, we’re big believers in not overcomplicating a staple. The azure blue pair is eye-popping while still looking clean and classic.
Softly skimming along the thigh and flaring out below the knee with one, clean line to the hem, these are the kind of jeans that make just as much sense for a brunch outing as they do for happy hour at a chic cocktail bar.
How to style the Wide High Waist Jeans
For daytime styling, we recommend pairing these jeans with a T-shirt and a colourful cardigan (think poppy red or butter yellow) for a spring-ready look. If you want to lean into a spring shoe trend, a satin trainer can give the look an elevated off-duty feel. Meanwhile, a woven wedge can add to the elongating effect of a high-waisted, wide-leg jean.
Nobody’s Child Red Wool Crew Neck Cardigan
As the weather warms up, ditch the cardigan for a flowy chiffon or lace top for a full-blown bohemian vibe. Something with lots of movement in the sleeves or around the hem is ideal. Pair this with a woven handbag and unapologetically oversized sunglasses.

The beauty of a timeless pair of jeans is that the styling can do all the speaking. For a nighttime look, add a funnel-neck jacket (which is spring’s favourite outerwear trend). Bonus points if it cinches at the waist to balance the outfit proportions. Pair them with slingback kitten heels and a kisslock clutch that tucks chicly under the arm, et voilà, an effortlessly chic look.
