When it comes to wardrobe essentials, few items rival the timeless appeal and versatility of a great pair of jeans. And right now, it’s all about one particular pair: the COS Arch Jeans. Emerging as a new favourite amongst fashion people, these jeans are crafted to a loose, tapered silhouette, effortlessly combining style and comfort. This probably explains why so many Who What Wear UK editors are snapping them up. “They seamlessly transition any outfit from a casual outing to a more polished affair, offering endless styling possibilities for every occasion,” says our news writer, Natalie Munro. These trending jeansa are so easy to style, in fact, that I’ve curated four outfits below that’ll take me (and you) into the new season without a hitch. From a transitional spring outfit to a simple yet chic all-white ensemble, read on to discover every way we’re styling COS’ Arch Jeans.
