Denim has clung onto the cusp of the fashion world for a good few decades and we don’t see it moving out of the stylish spotlight for a long time.

However, although denim itself has stuck, the styles have changed from season to season. This mean those pairs of skinny jeans you once loved, have been relegated to the back of the wardrobe and replaced with another seasonal favourite.

This not only costs money, but also means you have a wardrobe full of denim demons (yes we don’t throw anything away either).

We’ve therefore had a look at some timeless denim styles that you can wear throughout the seasons without looking dated and put together a few tips to ensure you get the perfect fit.

Tip One: Shop around
Once you’ve found the style of classic jeans you want visit as many stores as you can to find the perfect pair (yes we know it’s easier said than done).

Tip Two: Choose a timeless, flattering colour
Darker denim, such as indigo, dark grey and black not only makes you look slimmer but means your jeans won’t date as quickly as those bleached blue buys you just had to have at the time.

Tip Three: Get the right fit.
We’re not ashamed to admit that we have in the past tried to squeeze into the size below and justifying it by telling ourselves the jeans will stretch. However, it’s important to remember that once washed, jeans will go back to their original size, meaning you’ll be back to lying on the bed, prizing them up and sucking in your stomach to do up that top button. Therefore, when buying your pair test them out. Sit down, bend forward and move around until you’re sure they are comfortable. Eating breakfast or lunch before trying jeans on will also give you a better idea of the fit.
