Finding great jeans is a challenge. The first question is silhouette: straight-leg, high-waisted or boot-cut? On top of the variety of cuts on offer, there’s all manner of washes to choose from, as well as shades – from classic blue or black to crisp white or even pink. The options are endless.
Lurking in the in-between zone, grey jeans – a Noughties fave – are making a comeback. Beloved by Kate Moss post-millennium, grey jeans are quickly becoming an off-duty staple for trend-sparking celebrities and models once more. True to their grungy roots, the 2026 iterations are typically worn baggy and low on the hips, though respect should be paid to the dove-grey skinnies that are once again making the rounds. A versatile wash suitable for year-round styling, grey is a great option for anyone looking for a throwback alternative to their everyday jeans.
