Since it first launched in the UK in 2017, Arket has become our go-to for classic, expensive-looking wardrobe staples. So much so that we’re not sure where we shopped for our elevated basics before it reached our shores. From its cult puffer coat and sellout striped jumper to the ultimate blazer and perfect white T-shirt, its pieces consistently impress us with their quality and design as well as their sustainability. (A lot of the pieces are now made using recycled or responsibly sourced materials.) It should come as no surprise, then, when we tell you that the brand’s denim offering is, in our opinion, one of the best on the high street.
In particular, there’s one style I’ve tried recently that I love so much and have been wearing on repeat. It’s the Regular Cropped Stretch Jeans, and they’re such a good discovery that I just had to share them with you all.
I’ve been styling mine most often with my Arket blazer, a vest and a shirt layer, with some heeled black boots underneath (à la Kendall Jenner). But they also look great with jumpers, and the straight ankle sits seamlessly over everything from chunky ankle boots to loafers and heels, and they even slip into knee-high boots nicely. Because they’re so classic, I have faith they’ll pretty much fit into any wardrobe seamlessly and make everything you own work harder. The best part about them, though? Thanks to the slight stretch, they’re seriously comfy, which, after spending years in tracksuits, has become a priority for me when buying denim these days. Anyone else relate?
This specific pair currently comes in four colours, but there are also non-stretch, non-cropped and straighter-leg versions that are all also brilliant. Keep scrolling to shop.
