The coolest jeans you can wear right now? Well, who am I to argue with Alexa Chung and Jennifer Lawrence? Both swapping the slouchy leggings that are doing the rounds this season for a sharper pair of on-trend denim, I spotted Alexa and JLaw step out in matching straight-leg jeans this week.

Putting a springtime spin on their mid-wash jeans, Alexa swapped the chunkier boots she’s been wearing throughout the winter months for something no less smart, but significantly lighter. Slipping into a pair of polished leather loafers in an inky shade of black, Alexa wove a polished, pull-together element into her weekend look. Layering from there, Alexa slipped into a waisted leather jacket, tapping into another spring trend set to soar this month.

Meanwhile, Jennifer Lawrence wore her pair a little lower on the hips, as her jeans skimmed the leg for a relaxed shape. Veering casual with her styling, she wore her jeans with white and red Adidas Tokyo trainers. Echoing the accent on the shoes, a cosy red cardigan brought warmth and vibrancy into her otherwise laid-back look, keeping things feeling relaxed but far from boring.
