M&S embellished jeans are a grown-up way to wear sparkles at any time of day this season
Glitzy denim will add some glamour to your day to day looks
I don’t want to say the C-word too early, but the festive season really is just around the corner, so now is a good time to invest in some shimmer. If you love a little glitter but you’re not so keen on a heavily sequinned dress or a flashy jacket, then a pair of embellished jeans is your answer – and M&S have some of the very best right now.
The British clothing brand has an impressive amount of choice when it comes to denim for autumn. Alongside classic skinny-leg and wide-leg jean silhouettes, there are also glitzy pairs, perfect for adding understated glamour to your wardrobe.
I’ve had my eye on the High Waisted Embellished Barrel Leg Jeans, which feature black beading and gems across the front, as well as the Relaxed High Waisted Gem Embellished Straight Leg, adorned with multicoloured mini gems all over. Both styles are ideal for perking up daytime looks, as well as bringing a modern twist to festive dressing.
The best barrel-leg jeans have a fitted waist, then a slightly roomy fit around the hips and thighs, and a tapered ankle; this pair show off the shape perfectly. The subtle beading details add a high-end feel that will lift any outfit, too.
Barrel-leg jeans can easily be dressed up and can give your date night outfits or cocktail looks a very modern and fashion-forward spin. Try tucking in a semi-sheer black blouse before finishing with heels and drop earrings, and you'll be all set.
A softer take on the classic straight-leg jean means these bottoms won't be too rigid but will sit more neatly than a wider-leg style. I would team them with a soft, fluffy knit to create a wearable look that is perfect for day-to-night plans. Finish with your best white trainers or some metallic pumps.
A fluffy oversized knit like is like a cuddle in jumper form and will be ideal for the cooler months ahead. Layer over a buttoned white shirt for a preppy spin or just add lots of necklaces to give it some oomph. This one is a mohair and wool blend, so read our guide on how to store jumpers to keep it in tip-top condition.

These sparkle-covered, wide-fit bottoms will look great with a white shirt like the model or try adding a fitted black vest and a leather jacket for an edgier aesthetic.
Chunkier gems are placed perfectly down the sides and along the bottom of these jeans to give sparkles a softer and more considered vibe. Wear with a sweatshirt or a floaty cami top.
These all-over shimmery jeans will be the perfect pair for all kinds of festive celebrations. Try adding more glitter on top for even more wow factor, or keep it simple with a plain T-shirt and loafers.
Embellished jeans may sound bold, but the above buys all prove just how low-key and easy to wear they can be. Rather than always dressing them up, you can get plenty more wardrobe mileage from your jeans by giving them a daytime spin with relaxed styling too. A simple jumper and flats will be enough to soften statement glitter, and you could even try wearing them to work when teamed with a crisp shirt and your best trench coat.
Dresses and skirts may get all the attention at this time of year, but sequin-covered denim will make a fresh alternative to frocks and will feel much warmer and easy to wear. They are both practical and pretty.
