Shop the viral barrel jeans trend

A good pair of jeans is a wardrobe essential.

While it can be challenging to find the right style and fit, there’s a certain type that seems everywhere currently: the barrel jean.

Popular for its ability to blend style and comfort, the barrel jean style has filtered down from the runway to the rack, making it difficult to shop for jeans that don’t lean towards this balloon silhouette.

The barrell style typically features a fitted waist, a curved, flattering leg, and a tapered ankle. They are unrestricted and shapely, two things which jeans often struggle to deliver on.

If you’re looking to switch from your standard straight-leg denim jeans, it’s time to consider barrel jeans.
