Move over, stovepipe jeans - Charlize Theron's wide-leg style ticks all the trend boxes for spring

When the weather is so unpredictable, there's one wardrobe item we know we can always rely on: jeans. But where do you start if you want to update your denim for the new season? Barrel leg jeans have been huge for the past few years, and now the more exaggerated balloon shape is... well, blowing up, if you pardon the pun.

But for me, as well as celebrities like Meryl Streep, Sandra Bullock and now Charlize Theron, turn-up jeans is the trend to try. I've spotted a lot of slim but not skinny stovepipe styles with a turn-up recently, but Charlize's wide-leg jeans are incredibly flattering, comfortably cool and effortlessly chic.

Hers look like the £1,150 Givenchy Mid-rise wide-leg jeans, and the extended turn-up is a serious commitment to the trend. But the good news is you don't need to spend four figures to achieve her off-duty look.

Shop the look

Of course, you can try the turn-up trick with a pair of extra-long jeans you might already have in your wardrobe, but denim does look sharper when it's designed with a turn-up. The cuff will be held perfectly in place by stitches, and from my own experience, if you try it yourself, you can end up with uneven turn-ups that keep falling down all day.

woman&home's Fashion Write Molly Smith tells me: "If you want to make a statement with your everyday denim, these turn-up wide-leg jeans will certainly help you do so.

"I love the slouchy, oversized silhouette; it feels so 90s, and for a quick and easy spring outfit, this style of denim paired with a simple white T-shirt really does the trick."
