Fashion icon Victoria Beckham is often seen sporting a fabulous pair of jeans, but shoppers needn’t break the bank to copy her look
Victoria Beckham has a knack for looking effortlessly put together, and the fashion designer is no stranger to rocking a pair of wide-leg jeans. The 1970s-style denim flares she wore in 2023 during David’s Netflix documentary are the ideal way to embrace her elevated casual look.
Available in a variety of shades, including the versatile blue colour seen on Victoria, the Alina denim flares are part of Posh Spice’s own premium fashion brand. Costing £390, the denim style goes perfectly with a loose T-shirt for a laidback outfit.
While the high-rise jeans are crafted with meticulous attention to detail, they might be too expensive for those who wish to spend less than £100. M&S seems to have the solution with a £40 lookalike pair, featuring a similar patch-pocket design.
Customers have been praising these M&S jeans on the retailer’s website, earning them an impressive 4.7 overall rating out of a possible five stars. Calling them ‘stellar jeans’ in a review, one person said the flared bottoms are ‘worth much more than their price’.
This shopper continued: “They are beyond flattering. I’ve had so many compliments and most assuming they’d cost me a fortune and not £40 (“Love the jeans. Are they from Bella freud?”). If you’re thinking of buying them – do.”
M&S High Waisted Patch Pocket Flared Jeans
These chic jeans are designed with a high-waist, patch pockets and flared leg, with five lengths to choose from.
A second delighted buyer said: “Saw these jeans and had to have them. Stylish, good length, love the patch pockets and the hemline detail.” Fashion enthusiasts seeking alternatives can check out River Island’s Blue Denim High Waisted Relaxed Flare Jeans, at £52. The comfy looking item has three inside leg lengths to choose from.
For those who’d prefer a regular waist, Next has the Dark Blue Patch Pocket Wide Leg Jeans for £42. Reviewers claim they offer the ‘perfect amount of stretch’ and ‘can be dressed up or down’.
Not all customers were entirely satisfied with Marks and Spencer’s flared jeans as one shopper pointed out sizing issues, saying: “Usually a size 8 in M&S jeans, and it’s usually a trusted brand for sizing. Read the reviews and ordered a size up and it’s still not fitting right. Great jeans but the sizing is off.”
However, most buyers are pleased with their high-street find, with someone else writing: “So pleased with these jeans. Patch pockets are very flattering. Flared but slim fit through thighs which is great. I am between 10/12 and 5’4 and found 12R was best fit.”
Victoria has been pictured sporting wide-leg jeans with blazers, knitwear and simple tees, making it easy to see how versatile they are. The popular denim style can work across seasons and weather changes, making them a worthwhile investment.
