You’ll have to forgive the brief post today, but I have had a few messages about these jeans recently. Some of you might remember my recent quest to find a pair of high waisted straight leg jeans. I tried on sooo many pairs (far too many to document) and I had almost given up altogether when I hit the denim jackpot with these Topshop Moto Straight Jeans. And I can’t get them in and out of the wash quick enough. What I love about them the most, is that they give the illusion of longer legs, because they are so high on the waist. I ordered a 30 inch leg and they were the perfect length, but you could easily chop the 32 inch leg to the desired length if the 30 is too short. A top tip for fraying your jeans, is chop then stick in a quick wash and they come out frayed. No need to spend hours with a pair of tweezers (been there, done that!) The other thing I have found, is that all the tops I have been neglecting because they were a slightly awkward length, have been given a new lease of life, because these jeans are made for tucking! The green floral Zara kimono top below is a perfect example of this. As much as I loved it, whenever I put it on, I would end up taking it off. You know those tops that for one reason or another just don’t look quite right when they’re on. Well it turns out a little tuck can solve that problem. They would be the perfect pair of jeans if you are a body suit wearer (I am not, I just can’t get past the VPL) and if you’re wearing them with a jumper make sure you do the centre tuck so that you define your waist. (See below if you don’t know what I am talking about!)
So if you feel like your denim collection could do with a little update and a change from your skinnies, these are such a great buy for £40. As with all high street denim, I do find that they stretch with wear, so I like to wash them after a couple of wears, but I think that’s a small price to pay considering how inexpensive they are.
I have included outfit some snaps from the last week, a real testament to how much I love them, they feature in every photo!
They also come in black and some lighter blue shades.

And here is a little selection of a few tops that have caught my eye and would be good to wear with your new high waisters!
Loving your wrap blouse, is it still available?

Are these the same jeans you linked on instagram? They look different? https://m.topshop.com/en/tsuk/product/moto-mid-blue-straight-leg-raw-hem-jeans-6951320
