Topshop jeans have been a favourite of
mine for almost 10 years. When I was 12, I was an avid fan of the ‘Leigh’
jeans, which aren’t even a style Topshop offer anymore, but now as a 21 year
old, Jamie jeans are where it’s at for me and they have been my absolute go-to
for about 3 years now and they make up a the majority of the jeans in my
wardrobe. So why Jamie jeans?

SIZE & FIT
Honestly, there’s nothing I don’t love
about them. I’m about as fussy as they come in terms of finding the perfect
jeans and the Jamie jeans really tick every box when it comes to the perfect
skinny jean. Let’s talk about the most important thing when it comes to
selecting pieces for your wardrobe – the fit. As with the majority of Topshop
jeans, they come in a variety of sizes, ranging from a 24” waist, up to a 36
and come in three different lengths, 28”, 30” and a 32”. Jamie jeans are
described as “a modern wardrobe icon” and made with a small percentage of
elastane, allowing you to achieve the look of a tightly fitted jean, whilst
being extremely comfortable because of the stretch. Another thing to note about
the fit is that these jeans perfectly swaddle the ankles, and don’t leave any
gaps, which is an absolute bugbear of mine.
I’m 5ft5 and a size 16, and I wear a
W34, L30 (or L28 if I want ankle grazers). The sizing across the range of Jamie
jeans are consistent across the board, which is perfect if you want to quickly
pop into store and pick up a pair or if you’re ordering online, which saves a
lot of time and inconvenience. Another major plus for me is the fact that they
have belt holes, as I personally can’t wear jeans without a belt - no one needs
to see that. If you have no need or preference for belt holes, you may want to
check out the ‘Joni’ jeans from Topshop.

VARIETY
Other than the fit of my denim, I’m very
particular about the shade of denim. This is completely subjective to personal
preference, but Topshop have an extensive shade range available. My personal
favourite shade of denim to wear for everyday is a mid-wash blue. Not too light
or too dark. If you want something a little bit different to a simple style of
jeans, then you can get different finishes, including corduroy and satin, rips,
whether it’s on the knees, back pockets or a frayed hem and other features such
as zips etc.

PRICING
Topshop’s Jamie jeans start at £40 and
go up to £49, which is the only thing I’m not too fond of, but they are
definitely well worth it, particularly for the variety and the quality that you
get.
If skinny jeans aren’t for you, Topshop
have many alternative styles on offer:
