Rachel Stevens has found the perfect pair of petite barrel leg jeans, calling them 'perfection' for shorter shoppers, and they cost just £30 from Marks & Spencer.
Perfect for petite heights
Standing at five foot one, Stevens shared her recommendation on Instagram, praising M&S's Mid Rise Barrel Jeans. She said: 'These @marksandspencer barrel jeans are such a great flattering shape. I go for size 8 short for reference and the length for us petites is perfection.'
The jeans come in a variety of leg lengths, including extra short, short/petite, regular, long and extra long, catering to all heights. They are available in sizes six to 24 and nine different colours.
Style and fit
Stevens opted for the indigo mix colourway, a deep dark blue that adds a smart and sophisticated look. Other options include light blue, ecru, blush pink, white, mid-blue and black. The barrel leg silhouette has become a trending denim shape, and the mid-rise ensures balanced proportions.
The jeans have the right amount of structure, keeping their shape without looking cartoonish, and offer extra room in the hips, bum and thighs for a better fit around the waist.
Shopper reviews
The M&S Mid Rise Barrel Jeans have over 1,000 five-star ratings. One shopper wrote: 'Barrel style trousers are not normally my first choice but I am so pleased with these. The fit is perfect and they are some comfortable to wear.' Another added: 'Fab jeans, first I've found in years that fit perfectly and are comfortable. So much so am about to buy the Leopard ones too.'
However, some shoppers noted sizing issues, with one saying: 'Not sure what’s going on with M&S sizing?? Why is all the jeans coming up so small?' Another agreed: 'Really nice jeans but deducted 2 stars as had to size up.' Despite this, many loved the fit, with one commenting: 'Wasn’t sure about a barrel leg, but these convinced me.'
