How to Style Barrel-Leg Trousers: Jeans, Cargo and Leather

This cut can already feel casual, and the cargo barrel leg style only adds to it. Give them a smart finish with a short sleeve button-up shirt, like this one from TWP. A.Emery does the best flats, and with the warmer months coming up, opt for a pair of their sandals. Finish with a seasonal woven bag and gold jewellery.

Barrel leg jeans are the clear favourite style, and with the summer months coming up, choose a lighter wash denim. With constantly changing weather, make sure you have layers on you – you’ll never go amiss with a cashmere jumper layered over a t-shirt. Suede mules, like this flat pair from Miu Miu, and a raffia bag give the simple look a nautical touch – perfect for summer spent by the coast.

Leather barrel leg trousers offer a finer finish, and a comfortable yet chic option for evenings out. Pair them with kitten heel mules and a draped silk blouse – both feel more expensive than they are as they’re from Phase Eight and Mango respectively. As it gets cooler in the evening, finish with a cropped wool blazer and silver earrings.
