OK, so you cringed this summer when you saw Jessica Simpson sporting an ill-fitting pair of high-waisted, wide-legged jeans. Who didn’t? After that, you swore that you would never give the 70’s inspired trend a go. But now that the initial shock has worn off and designers have had the sensibility to come up with more form-friendly and wearable versions of the jeans, maybe its time to reconsider. If you’re ready to take the plunge, we think that the 18th Amendment Colbert ‘Speak easy’ jeans are a good way to dip your toes in without getting too wet. £165, available at Browns.
