River Island's talented design specialists have been working hard to refine their designs, using high-tech garment technology to ensure each style fits perfection, whether you are shopping for high-waisted or mid-waist designs, flares, or straight leg, even a skinny or bum sculpting pair of jeans.

River Island's denim designs include the super-skinny Molly Jean, Stove Straight Jeans, and Mom jeans, alongside the favourite Skinny, Skinny Spray On, Slim and Bootcut styles.

All of these designs are available in multiple lengths, including extra short, short, regular and long, so you can find the perfect fit for you.

As well as the different cuts, and lengths, River Island has also catered to the demand for different washes, as the denim collection includes classic mid and dark-blue denim shades, as well as a blue-black, washed black.

Like all denim staples, a trusted pair of jeans can see you through all life stages, occasions, styles and needs.

But if you're not sure which ones are for you, we've picked out our favourites.

What to buy in River Island's new denim collection

Wide Leg Jeans

Wide-leg jeans are a welcome alternative to a skinny fit, as well as mom jeans and straight, so much so this style is arguably the most popular style of trousers right now.

The wide-leg designs skim all the way down the leg to the ankle, which not only makes your legs look leaner and longer, without sticking to your legs and making you feel restricted.

For under £50, these jeans are a versatile staple you can pair with anything; wear them with trainers, a t-shirt and a leather jacket for casual days, heeled boots or heels with a corset top and blazer.

Stove Straight Jeans

River Island's Stove Straight Jeans are another popular denim style and a purchase worth making.

Stove Straight Jeans are a hybrid between wide-leg and straight jeans, as they skim the legs but are not a balloon style, nor too skinny, yet fall to the ankles.

This design is high-waisted, and feature River Island's iconic Comfort Stretch fabric so they are super comfortable to wear.

Plus, this style comes in numerous colours, as well as dazzling embellished jeans.

High-Waisted Slim Fit Jeans

The High Waisted Slim Fit Jeans are our favourite jeans from River Island's denim selection, as they are super versatile, and go with every outfit, style and season.

These jeans are made from a cotton and elastane blend, which means they are super soft on the skin, yet stretch, so you are comfortable in these jeans all day long.

They are high-waisted, boast a slim fit, and fall above the ankle.

Molly Mid Rise Bum Sculpt Skinny Jeans

The Molly Mid Rise Bum Sculpt Skinny Jeans tick all the boxes when it comes to skinny jeans, which are a classic style we have loved and lived in for years on end.

These jeans are high-waisted, fall to the ankle, and are like a second skin when on the wearer as they are figure-hugging.

The best part is the Bum Sculpt technology, which smooths, lifts and contours your derriere, to accentuate your body shape.

You can dress down or style with a chic blouse, or glitzy top, blazer and heels for a more glamorous affair.

High-Waisted Relaxed Straight-Leg Jeans

Another firm favourite of ours

The High Waisted Relaxed Straight Leg Jeans are another must-have.

The Relaxed Straight Leg resemble a wide leg, as the high-waisted design, combined with the straight fit of the long leg, elongates your legs, and body.

While some of River Island's designs feature elastane for added stretch, this pair is made from 100% cotton for a more rigid straight fit.

These jeans come in six different styles and coloured denim to complement every outfit.

  • Black High Waisted Relaxed Straight Leg Jeans, £38 -

High Waist Flare Jeans

Flare Jeans are great to elongate your legs, and give the illusion of a slender frame, while also adding a little extra something to any look.

These jeans are high-waisted, while the flare fit fans out at the ankle.

These jeans, which come in short, regular and long lengths, can be paired with a simple white vest or t-shirt, or channel the bohemian look further with tan boots, a fringe suede jacket, or a printed longline kimono.

High-Waisted Tapered Jeans

These High Waisted Tapered Jeans are a hybrid between mom jeans and straight jeans, as they boast a looser fit around the thigh before they are tailored around the ankle.

This design features a high waist, tapered fit, as well as belt loop detail around the waist, and classic five pockets, and is created from responsibly sourced cotton fabric for a soft yet durable fit.

For under £40, we think these are a bargain buy you won't want to miss out on.

High Waist Mom Jeans

High Waist Mom Jeans have been a popular style for many years, and a welcome alternative to skinny, straight and tapered jeans.

They are high-waisted and are a looser fit ballooning out from the hips to the ankle, so you will be comfortable wearing these jeans for hours on end.

They also boast a turn-up at the ankle for a little extra detail.

Grey High Waisted Bootcut Jeans

The High Waisted Bootcut jeans look similar to flared jeans, as well as a straight style.

This style boasts a high waist, they are fitted at the upper half of the jeans before flaring out to create a wider leg, and slight flare skimming the ankle.

Like other River Island denim jeans, these are created using the brand's comfort stretch denim and responsibly sourced for a comfortable fit.

This style comes in a soft grey, as well as a classic black colourway.
