White & Co LivingRight now, barrel-leg jeans are having a moment, and for good reason. With their relaxed fit that complements a variety of body shapes, they feel fresh and modern without being too “out there.”
And the Leo barrel jeans are some of our favourites because they're just so easy to put on and perfect for any occasion or season. The relaxed thigh gives you freedom to move without ever feeling stuffy, while the tapered ankle keeps the look refined, not sloppy.
Here are five simple, stylish ways to wear them, plus our favourite White & Co pieces to pair with.
Tuck-In & Tee Classic
You can never go wrong by pairing barrel jeans with a tucked-in tee, like our striped Original Round Neck T-Shirt. The tuck defines the waist, balances the relaxed leg, and creates a polished, effortless look that feels cool yet easy to pull together.
Double Denim Done Right
Want to nod to the classic 80s or 90s double denim look, but updated for today? Pairing barrel-leg jeans with our relaxed Claudia shirt in mid wash hits that sweet spot between nostalgia and modern cool. Roll up the sleeves or half-tuck it, and finish with simple accessories so it doesn’t feel too matchy-matchy.
Cosy Knit Layers
When cooler weather rolls in, nothing beats a chic knit layered over your barrel jeans. Head to our knitwear collection and you’ll find soft, elevated layers that make any outfit feel cosy yet polished in an instant.
Accessorise with the Right Bag
Give your outfit a polished pop with the right bag. From hands-free crossbody for weekend wanderings to structured tote for busy days, our bags collection combines function with flair. The perfect bag grounds the look and adds a little personality, even when the rest of your outfit is low-key.
Structured & Sleek Layering
Lean into that architectural barrel shape by adding some structure. Try a tailored jacket or blazer to balance the laid-back jean silhouette. For a crisp, effortlessly sophisticated outfit without looking too styled, add simple jewellery and a slim belt, and let the jeans do the talking.
