Jeans

Women's jeans

Forcast jeans are made for the days the suiting pants stay on the hanger: casual Fridays, weekends and travel. The range runs from skinny and straight through barrel leg, wide leg, bootcut and flared, with high-waisted, belted and cropped styles among them, all in sizes 4 to 18. They are cut with the same attention to fit as the rest of the range, which is what lets them work in a business casual office as well as out of it.

Choosing a cut

Skinny jeans, like the Lesley Skinny Jean, are the narrowest and sit under long tops and jackets. Straight and boyfriend cuts, such as the Alex Boyfriend Jeans, are easier through the leg and a little relaxed. Barrel leg jeans, including the Leighton Barrel Leg Jeans and Bondi Barrel Leg Jeans, curve out through the thigh and taper in at the ankle. Bootcut and flared styles, like the Merith Bootcut Jeans and Astrid Flared Jeans, open out at the hem and lengthen the leg. The Carmen Wide Leg Jeans and Kallie Denim Culotte are the fullest, and the Rosario Cropped Flare Jeans finish above the ankle.

Waist and details

High-waisted jeans, such as the Aubri High-Waisted Jeans, hold a tucked top in place and sit well under a cropped jacket. The Jael Belted Jeans come with their own belt, the Ximenna Pin Tuck Jean has a pressed seam down the front that reads more like a trouser, and the Rome Frayed Washing Jean has a raw hem. The Kaley Lyocell Denim Trousers are cut more like a trouser than a jean.

Wearing jeans to work

For a business casual office, pick a dark or clean wash in a straight, flared or trouser-style cut, then dress it up from the waist. A tucked shirt from work tops, a blazer and a loafer or heel take jeans a long way. On the weekend the same jeans work with a tee or a knit.

Fit and sizing

Denim gives less than suiting, so choose your usual size and check the waist and hip measurements on the size guide if you are between two. Skirts and other denim pieces are in the denim collection, and the full range of trousers is under pants.
