By Symone Keisha, 14 April 2025

THE ONE WHO WENT OUT LAST NIGHT
Partied a little too hard? We get it. The vibe for the morning after is relaxed, and that means the denim has to be baggy. This ASOS DESIGN pair have a low rise and roomy fit around the hips and legs to keep you comfortable. Keep the off-duty-model vibe going with a simple tank, grungey boots and huge shades. Incognito mode: activated.

THE ONE WHO’S GOING OUT
If you’re going out on the long weekend, get ready to add this look to your basket. Denim-wise, you want something stand-out. Enter: Minga London. With a chunky belt, raw edge details and a slim flared silhouette, these jeans have main attraction written all over them. Up the ante with a sheer cami, matching buckled bag and heels – or swap them for ballet flats if that's more your style.

THE ONE VISITING FAMILY
If a family roast is on the agenda this weekend, a jeans-and-a-nice-top combo that’s equally stun but more low-key is in order. In case you didn’t know, barrel-leg jeans are the style to know this season, and this embroidered pair from Topshop is what your SS25 uniform needs. Complete the look with a linen waistcoat and take a welcome detour away from your favourite trainers with Mary-Janes.

THE ONE TAKING A DAY TRIP
Spending a day away? Look no further. A fashion revival moment is always a guaranteed win, and these capris are a call to the 2000s. Keep the energy going with a cropped trench (for extra style points and unpredictable weather) and loafers for added cool.

THE ONE GOING ON A CITY BREAK
If you’re the girl whose trips always make it out of the group chat, this one's for you. Keep your palette neutral but go all out on the details: a blouse with a shirred hem and voluminous sleeves ft. stacked bracelets makes up for the lack of colour. P.S. These straight-fit jeans will be a go-to in your spring/summer rotation.

Mango Mara belted straight leg jean in white, £45.99
