A good pair of jeans is a basic we can’t do without. From the straight-legged and smart to the wide-legged and slouchy; from the cropped and summery to the bootcut and business-like, it’s all in the cut. The best pairs can be dressed up with boots and a blazer or dressed down with a classic white T-shirt and trainers or, in warm weather, sandals. These pairs make our lust list.
