Clodagh McKenna's straight-leg jeans are her 'new faves' for spring and they're a comfy addition to your denim collection

Every time I see Clodagh McKenna in the This Morning kitchen I come away finding myself just as inspired by her outfits as her cooking. Her latest appearance was no exception and I soon went hunting for her jeans. Described by Clodagh on Instagram as her "new faves" from Boden, they look to be the £89 high-waisted, straight-leg jeans.

A great pair of well-fitting jeans is a must-have in anyone's spring capsule wardrobe to go with everything from knitwear to T-shirts. After all, this time of year the weather is unpredictable, and the chef styled her jeans with a bright yellow Ganni jumper.

The lighter wash of her jeans worked well with this bright shade and it has a vintage feel to it. You can also get them in darker washes too and straight-leg cuts tend to feel a little smarter than wide or barrel-leg jeans which are also denim trends for 2026.

This makes this silhouette very versatile, as you can make them look dressier with heeled boots and a blazer if you want a smart-casual outfit. Otherwise, I'd stick to white trainers and whichever top suits the temperature that day. Filming on This Morning on 31st March, Clodagh McKenna opted for her yellow Fair Isle jumper and loosely tucked it into her jeans.

A perfect tuck all the way round is great when you've got a fitted top as it accentuates your waist and creates a smooth line. With chunkier knitwear or oversized shirts, going for a partial tuck ties in with the relaxed style better and still gives some definition.

With straight-leg jeans you can get away with wearing pretty much any type of top, as they aren't overly loose or fitted. In contrast, something like wide-leg jeans can work with a bulky jumper but because they're already quite slouchy, it can sometimes take a bit more time to style the pieces together if you want to balance proportions.

Clodagh finished off her outfit with cowboy boots from one of the royals' favourite British brands, Penelope Chilvers, and some glimmering gold jewellery for a touch of glamour. This kind of look is such an easy one to throw on when you're heading out for the day and want to be comfortable and put-together.

Breathable cotton jeans like hers make a reliable outfit base for spring and Clodagh McKenna knows this better than anyone as she's a huge fan of jeans-focused styling. We've already seen a classic jeans and white shirt look from her this season, as well as several double denim outfits.

When she finds a new design she loves, the chef tends to re-wear them time and time again too. This is definitely the case for her patch pocket Donna Ida jeans and so I wouldn't be surprised if the Boden straight-leg pair she's dubbed her "new faves" get seen a lot over the coming weeks.
