Amal Clooney<\/a> has just worn the denim cut of the year. Beyond an impressive career as an international law and human rights barrister, Amal\u2019s style is timeless, elegant and always ahead of the curve, and her latest airport look underlines exactly that. Amal and her husband, George Clooney, were pictured at Milan airport after attending the Omega House\u2019s 2026 Milano Cortina Olympics opening night, where she stepped out in 2026\u2019s defining denim silhouette: stovepipe jeans<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Most of us board a flight in leggings and a knit, at best a co-ordinated loungewear set. <\/p>\n

Amal, however, opted for a classic jeans-and-top formula, elevated with streamlined stovepipe jeans and a toe-grazing hem, a cut also loved by Victoria Beckham<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The stovepipe jeans<\/a> have made a humble return \u2013 emerging as one of the more stylish denim trends of 2026. It\u2019s a cut that carries a nostalgic tinge of decades gone by while also looking completely modern, especially when paired with a crisp blouse and a peacoat, as Amal demonstrated.<\/p>\n

What are stovepipe jeans?<\/p>\n

Not quite a straight-leg jean and certainly not a skinny jean, the stovepipe jeans are characterised by a clean, unwavering line from hip to ankle, creating the long, tubular line that gives the style its name.<\/p>\n

Unlike a straight-leg jean, the stovepipe silhouette keeps the line narrower and more uniform from the hip to hem, creating that clean, column effect without the squeeze of a skinny. A traditional cut hems firmly at the ankle to reinforce the rigid silhouette, however more recently designers have extended the hem to fall over the toe, amplifying the lengthening effect.<\/p>\n

How to style stovepipe jeans<\/p>\n

\u201cWith its high-cut waist and slim, straight leg, the stovepipe jeans are fashion\u2019s quiet transformer, zipping, nipping and subtly sculpting the silhouette. It\u2019s the most flattering denim shape of them all, serving early-00s energy without the squeeze of a skinny,\u201d says Red’s Fashion Editor, Oonagh Brennan<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cCut from rigid denim, they skim rather than cling. Keep the rest of your look clean and classic and style them with a leather bomber, roll neck and kitten heel boots. For evening, try a silky shirt and bold architectural jewellery.\u201d<\/p>\n
