High-Rise Wide-Leg Distressed Jeans, Assorted Washes

The cut is palazzo-wide from the hip down, which is what makes these jeans feel so different from a skinny pair: they move, they breathe, and they are comfortable through a full day. The wash is a deep, rich blue, the waist sits high with a structured band and a secure button closure, and the distressing is kept light so the jeans look lived-in rather than torn.

They work with a tucked-in tee for a college day, with a fitted crop top for a night out, or with a short kurta for a fusion look at a casual festive lunch. Sneakers keep them relaxed; a block heel makes the wide leg fall even better.

• High-rise waist with structured band and button closure
• Wide-leg, palazzo-style cut
• Deep blue wash with subtle distressing

Care: wash inside out in cold water with dark colours, line dry and skip the tumble dryer so the length and shape stay as they are.
