Turn-up jeans are most definitely on our list of the 2025 denim trends, and although I've been a bit on the fence about them for months now, Meryl Streep just convinced me to add them to my wardrobe ASAP.
She was pictured alongside on-screen husband and rumoured real-life love Martin Short in New York, where they were filming for the new series of Only Murders in the Building. And whilst Meryl was very much in character as Loretta Durkin, this is an outfit I could absolutely see her wearing away from the cameras. Even though we rarely see her in jeans, these are worth making an exception for!
She wore some dark wash straight leg jeans with a cuffed hem, and they're both flattering and incredibly easy to wear. When paired with a Ted Baker shirt, Cole Haan espadrille flats, a metallic tweed trench coat and some Prada sunglasses, this for me is the epitome of effortlessly elegant spring style.
Shop turn-up jeans
It's such a seemingly small detail, but the fold-up cuff feels so fresh for this year. You can of course turn up the hem on a pair you already own if you have some super long styles in your collection, but for just over £100 you can dress these up or down depending on how your day looks - so consider the cost per wear.
Free People's denim always impresses me. I've been sticking staunchly to barrel leg jeans lately, but these cuffed jeans have converted me. Keep things minimalist with a crisp linen shirt and Birkenstock sandals. Or Birkenstock clogs!
Wondering about shoes to wear with wide leg trousers? Everything from ballet flats to trainers will all work. That's the beauty of this denim trend - it's super versatile. These are an affordable take on the trend, and are available in two different leg lengths.
How to style yours
This looks like the exact shirt Meryl's character is wearing, and it's very pretty indeed. The silk linen blend fabric is spot on for the warmer months.
These are a match for Meryl's, and we're running to Amazon to pick these up. Comfortable, affordable shoes worn by an A-lister are not something we come by every day of the week! These are guaranteed to be your go-to in the coming months.
Suede is still going strong, and a bag is a much easier way to embrace the trend than boots or a trench coat. This looks more designer than high street, so prepare yourself for compliments.
Freelance Fashion Editor Antonia Kraskowski has this advice when it comes to fold-up jeans: "As with any wide leg style, it's best to keep the top half of your outfit fitted in order to off-set the more voluminous denim.
"If you're on the petite side, you may want to look for a cropped style that ends just above the ankle - by showing the slimmest part of your leg, the volume of the jeans will be rebalanced and avoid overwhelming your petite stature."
