ASOS — My Go-To Budget Jeans (The Ones I Actually Wear)
ASOS jeans are honestly my safety net. When I don’t know what to wear, or I just need something that fits great for under £30, this is where I go. These are the pairs I actually bought — some more classic, some a bit trendier — but all easy to style,...
These are the “I want to look like I’ve made effort but also want to breathe” jeans. Proper relaxed, but not sloppy. I usually throw on a tucked-in shirt or a vest like the model — makes it look intentional rather than “I just rolled out of bed.”
ASOS DESIGN baggy jeans in indigo
If you want something in-between skinny and baggy, these are spot on. Tapers nicely at the ankle, dark wash makes them look a bit smarter. I wear these with a jumper or a knitted vest when I’m pretending I’m put together.
ASOS DESIGN tapered jeans in dark wash blue
The “can’t go wrong” pair. Straight leg, classic dark denim, no weird rips or fading. You could wear these with trainers and a tee, or chuck on a shirt and pretend you’ve got your life sorted.
ASOS DESIGN straight jean in dark wash blue
These feel a bit more relaxed and vintage-looking. The light blue is perfect for spring/summer outfits. I’d wear with a white tee or an oversized sweatshirt – very effortless, very “yeah I just threw this on.”
ASOS DESIGN tapered fit jeans in light wash blue
These are properly wide and slouchy, but in a cool way. They’re the jeans I reach for when I want that laid-back Pinterest look. Baggy hoodie, chunky trainers, done. They’re soft too — not that stiff denim that fights back.

Pull&Bear – If I’m Not Wearing ASOS, It’s Probably These
Pull&Bear jeans have that perfect “I put effort in but not too much” energy. They’re a bit more trendy than ASOS, but still super wearable. A mix of wide-leg, skater and relaxed fits — basically the ones I grab when I want my outfit to look coole...
These are the grown-up version of baggy jeans. Wide, but clean and structured, so you don’t look like you’re auditioning for a 90s boyband. I wear them with a tucked shirt or fitted tee so I don’t disappear into them.
Straight wide-leg jeans - pull&bear
Full-on skater vibe but still wearable if you’ve never touched a skateboard in your life (me). Super relaxed on the leg, sits nicely at the waist. Works with oversized hoodies, bomber jackets, trainers — easy.
Skater jeans - pull&bear
These give off that “borrowed from your older brother” fit — baggy but soft, perfect light-mid wash. I throw these on with a white tee when I literally cannot be bothered to think about clothes.
Baggy jeans - pull&bear
Slightly more structured than the baggy pair. Darker wash so they feel a bit smarter. Basically if straight-leg and baggy had a baby. Goes well with everything — especially chunky trainers and a sweatshirt.
Relaxed fit baggy jeans - pull&bear
The safest pair in the collection. Not too wide, not skinny, just proper regular jeans. Ideal for days when you don’t want to try trends and just need something that works with a hoodie and trainers without fail.
Standard jeans - pull&bear
Bershka – When I Want to Look Trendy But Still on a Budget
Bershka jeans are where things get a bit more fashion-y. If ASOS is safe and Pull&Bear is chilled, Bershka is like, “let’s try something different but not break the bank.” I grab these when I want that slightly oversized, Pinterest mood — but sti...
These are the “all black outfit, minimal effort, maximum vibe” jeans. Super baggy but the black colour makes them look clean. I wear them with a black jumper when I can’t be bothered but still want to look like I listen to good music.
Baggy jeans
These are a bit out there — they’ve got that balloon shape at the leg. Sounds weird but actually looks sick with a fitted top or cropped jacket. Proper streetwear-ish without trying too hard.
Barrel jeans
These are the comfy, slouchy, “I just rolled out of bed but still look cool” jeans. Light wash makes them perfect for spring/summer. Works with any oversized striped or graphic top.
Baggy jeans
The most normal pair from Bershka — straight leg, slightly faded, really easy to wear. If you want to dip your toe into Bershka without going full skater boy, these are the ones.
Straight fit jeans
Chill, wide, and give that effortless street look. The grey makes a nice change from blue denim. I’d wear these with chunky trainers and a striped long-sleeve — exactly how the model’s styled it, but less moody.
