Good jeans: spring's most delightful denim

Dark indigo or stonewashed, embellished or upcycled, denim was a huge hit on the S/S 2020 catwalks. Keen to enter your own blue period? Bottega Veneta, Gucci, Loewe and Weekend Max Mara and Jacob Cohën make a case for a host of jean styles, be it the Canadian tuxedo or tailoring in monochromatic hues or with punchy patchwork, a skirt with retro flair or denim with deconstructed drama.
