Were I to build my autumn wardrobe from scratch, there’s no way I’d be reaching for the season’s favourite cropped jeans or last year’s barrel-leg pairs. Instead, I’d be taking my wardrobe cues from one of the industry’s chicest and investing in a timeless pair of straight-leg jeans.

Proving that this enduring denim favourite isn’t going anywhere anytime soon, I spotted Cindy Crawford taking a mid-wash blue pair out for a spin this week. Wearing hers with a pale blue shirt, Cindy anchored the look with cognac-brown accessories, creating a chic, coordinated ensemble I’d gladly emulate throughout the autumn months.

With a sleek, leg-skimming shape that’s importantly not too clingy, straight-leg jeans bring a polished energy to an outfit that few other denim silhouettes can quite achieve. Evocative of the denim styles that dominated throughout the ’90s, it’s no surprise that Cindy has kept the enduring cut in her styling arsenal all these years.
