These are the best jeans to shop right now, chosen by a fashion editor

If you only invest in one pair of jeans this season, make it. Agolde's straight leg style. A true wardrobe classic, they're relaxed enough to be worn everyday but can also be smartened up with a sleek top and a must have designer bag. 

Sat high on the waist with a 90's inspired straight leg, Anine Bing's blue-toned Hugh jeans offer a nostalgic take on the straight leg trend. Style with loafers, trainers and even chunky sandals for the utmost in versatility. 

Described as a "borrowed from the boys" cut, FRAME's slouchy straight offer a more relaxed take on straight leg styles. Available in three washes, I love this vintage tone for a lived in look. 

For a more elevated straight leg style add these Mango jeans to your Wishlist. Featuring a soft pleat at the waist, a loose fit from top to bottom and a medium blue tone, these will look perfect worn on holiday with a pretty printed crop top. 

If you're looking for a pair of figure flattering straight leg jeans, you can't go far wrong with Levi's Ribcage style. Designed to make legs look ultra-long whatever your height thanks to the high-rise waist and straight cut, they're a true crowd pleaser. 

Flares may come in and out of style, but I find they're never away for long so they're worth having in your wardrobe. I'm wearing mine with co-ordinating dark denim shacket this season.

While classic blue tones are always on trend, there's something about this charcoal grey style that I really love. When paired with a chunky black knit or tank top, they give off-duty model vibes. 

I am obsessed with Toteme's simple wide leg jeans. The pleat leg offers a chic tailored feel while the blue wash is understated and effortless. The perfect balance of high-low styling. 

Fitted in the waist with a looser wide fit leg, Zara's high waisted jeans offer both style and comfort. Wear with heels or trainers to completely transform your look. 

With a vintage inspired 70's feel, Arket's Lupine jeans prove great jeans never go out of style. I love the addition of the front pockets for added detail while the slight flare will be oh-so-flattering on a multitude of body shapes. 

Horseshoe or barrel jeans hug at the waist before rounding at the leg to create a unique balloon style shape. The exaggerated silhouette looks great paired with fitted tops to create a sense of balance. 

I'm a big fan of white jeans during spring and summer and this updated shape takes them to another level. Add a khaki or taupe waistcoat and chunky sandals for a chic warm-weather look. 

Want to wear jeans to the office? Khaite's tapered jeans perfectly bridge the gap between easy wearing denim and smart tailored trousers. Add a simple tee or white shirt and slingback to finish the look. 

For a more subtle take on the trend, I love Aligne's style. Featuring a wider leg and rounded shape that feels slightly less exaggerated than the other styles, they nod to the trend without feeling too overwhelming. 

Utility style pieces were big news on the SS24 catwalks so tap into the trend in Free People's khaki horseshoe jeans. Made from a rigid, non-stretch denim they hold their shape excellently giving a strong rounded silhouette. 

H&M is one of my favourite places to shop for affordable yet on trend jeans and this oversized white style prove just how good they can be.

LOEWE's embroidered jeans are the influencer-approved style to be seen in right now but if you're looking for a style that taps into the trend yet feels much more timeless, I'd suggest this all white pair with their understated logo detailing. 

For a softer look, rather than bright white tones instead opt for a warmer shade like this ecru style from Sézane. 

While classic styles are always on trend, there's something fun about opting for a pair of jeans with a little wow factor. This laser-cut pair from Alaia have exactly that thanks to the fun laser-cut detailing. 

There's something eternally chic about wearing head-to-toe white, yet while white trousers can feel a little done, white denim offers a more understated look. 

Few jeans will give the illusion of longer looking legs better than COS' column jeans. Made from 80% organic cotton, they combine a high-rise waist with a sleek straight leg to elongate and lengthen. 

With a slightly slim cut leg and high rise waist, Reformation's Cynthia jeans make the perfect day-to-night jeans. 

Combining volume and length, Aligne's Martha jeans make a statement in the best way possible. Wear with a simple white tee to allow them to take centre stage. 

While denim has a place on the catwalk every season, for SS24 dark denim tones were spotted everywhere from Alexander McQueen to Miu Miu. Tap into the trend in this floor length style from Agolde. 

Nothing says summer like slipping on a cami top, some light blue denim and a pair of sandals. Make it your uniform, with this classic pair from Mango.

"Standing at 4ft11, jeans shopping can be incredibly difficult as I'm constantly plagued by too long hems and gaping waistbands. River Island is one of my go-to shops as they not only offer petite friendly fits but styles that feel cool too." Jazzria Harris, Freelance Fashion Editor

I'm obsessed with the barrel leg denim trend so finding a petite friendly pair from Whistles was a big win. Available in black, two blue washes and white, I may just treat myself to all four shades. 

Mother recently launched a line catering to petite frames, and as someone who always has to hem her trousers after buying them, I am thankful.

"While these jeans aren't technically petite, one of my favourite tricks is to buy cropped lengths to wear as full length styles. I recently treated myself to this pair from Mango and they're going to be my go-to through Spring." Jazzria Harris, Freelance Fashion Editor 

If you're looking for petite denim, Abercrombie's selection is one of the best around. All their jeans are available in both extra short and short length, to suit those with shorter proportions. 

The great thing about Self-Portrait's crystal embellished jeans is they don't scrimp on the details. Bejewelled from front to back, they ensure you sparkle from every angle. 

I can just picture these worn with a white ribbed tank top and co-ordinating white slingback heels for dinner and drinks with the girls. 

For an understated take on embellishment, I can't get enough of Reformations Cary jeans. Wear with a white blouse and western boots to like out your cowboy Carter fantasy. 

Party jeans don't get much better than this pair from Sandro. Combining delicate sparkle with a menswear inspired straight cut, they're the best of both worlds. 

Nobody does embellishment quite like AREA, so no wonder their embellished jeans are pretty incredible. Combining the cut out trend with high-shine sparkle, you need these for when party season arrives. 

The recent Y2K revival has seen the return of many denim trends and one that's slowly taking hold is the low rise jean. To wear it in 2024, opt for. a baggy rather than figure hugging fit for a cooler finish.

Founded by Anna Foster, ELV denim is here to shake up the denim industry and their oversized Freya jeans prove it pushing the boundaries on shape and style. 

If you take one thing away from this denim breakdown, it's that oversized shapes are most definitely in. Embrace all things baggy in this style from Arket. 

If you find standard denim jeans a little too restrictive, COS' drawstring style have come to your rescue. Featuring an elasticated waistband and baggy wide-leg style, they not only look great but will feel great too. 

Even white jeans get a baggy makeover in the form of Weekday's Astro style. As well as ice white, they also come in mutiple black and blue tones so, if you're prone to spillages, check out their other colours. 

Designed with curves in mind, Khloe Kardashian's denim brand will hug you in all the right places.
