Fit and Sizing

The Louisa is cut in the barrel leg shape, meaning it sits fuller through the thigh and knee before tapering in towards the ankle, giving a more relaxed silhouette than a straight or skinny jean. It's available across a broad size range, from EU36 to EU44 (UK8–16), making it easy to find your usual size. The Louisa is very standard with a bit of stretch.  If you're between sizes, we'd recommend sizing up.

Styling Guidance

The Louisa's dark denim wash is one of the most sophisticated denim shades—it dresses up or down effortlessly and pairs beautifully with almost everything in your wardrobe. For everyday wear, try it with a plain t-shirt and trainers or ankle boots, or layer a blazer over a simple top for a polished work look. The rich tone also works well with structured coats and tailored pieces, making it suitable for smarter occasions when paired with a heel or loafer. The barrel leg shape works well with a slightly heeled boot or loafer, which helps balance the fuller silhouette through the leg. Dark denim is forgiving across seasons—wear it with cream and white in summer, and with burgundy, rust, and camel in autumn and winter.

Works well with: ankle boots, loafers, casual jackets, blazers, structured coats, plain knitwear

Colour palette: white, cream, burgundy, rust, camel, grey, navy, charcoal, black
