Known by many names – most commonly, barrel-leg – M&S have put their own spin on this love-’em-or-loathe-’em trouser style. At £39.50, the brand’s “carrot jeans” are uber-affordable and they come in three shades.
The “carrot-style” jeans start with a flattering high-waisted fastening, balloon out generously around the thighs and calves, before tapering in at the bottom for an ankle-grazing finish. With pockets and an easy zip fastening, these are the contemporary yet practical jeans to add to your cart immediately.
This new “marmite” denim silhouette is taking the fashion crowd by storm. Its more androgynous shape can add a laid-back Scandi vibe to this season’s outfits. Think of this cut as a step up from the usual “mum-jeans” style.

If, like me, you struggle to find jeans that can fit past your thighs and bum and don’t gape horrendously at the back, then you may want to give this shape a try. Style down with a simple white tee and your trusty loafers or trainers, or lean into glamour with a white shirt, bold earrings and pointed ballet pumps.
The styling combinations are endless and the “carrot fit” should integrate seamlessly into your current wardrobe. Trust me, they’ll quickly become a weekly go-to for the stylish and contemporary flourish they can add to weekend and weekday dressing. And, at under £40 a pair… I’m planning to go out and buy some in every colour.
