I'm sure I'm not alone in this, but I can't scroll through Instagram, Pinterest, TikTok, or even Who What Wear without seeing barrel jeans. I totally get it. They have a cool fit and silhouette and give any outfit a modern touch. That being said, I will never give up my favorite denim style: straight-leg jeans. They are classic and look great with just about any styling. Not to mention, they often have a '90s feel, which is right up my alley.
With winter in full swing, I rounded up some straight-leg-denim outfits that I plan to re-create this season from some of my favorite fashion follows across the globe. Each is impeccably styled with elevated basics, including standout sweaters and chic outerwear. Keep scrolling to check out and shop five winter-ready looks that do the effortless denim style justice.
