High-low dressing has made its way over to denim with sparkling, heavily-adorned jeans. 


It’s not news that jeans are a no-fuss, easy-to-wear staple. They have a timelessness, making them a firm favourite in all our wardrobes. But this season they’re taking a glitzy turn with the latest denim trend: embellished jeans.

We’re talking silver rhinestones, sequin sparkles, megawatt metallic threads and plenty of pearls – all the dazzling details – and we can’t wait to add a pair to our winter wardrobes. 

Whether you’re searching for the perfect party outfit or looking to elevate your everyday look, embellished jeans could be the solution. They’ll do all the hard work for you by taking the glitz and glam of a stud and adding it to casual denim. And unlike stiff-tailored trousers or scratchy sequin skirts, it’s easy to find a comfortable pair – just like your well-loved Levi’s. 

We love the maximalist sequin offerings available at Zara, River Island and Maje. If you prefer a subdued look perfect for after-work drinks and festive family gatherings, take a look at our picks from Next, Reformation and Anthropologie. They dial down the sparkle but are still wearable and look great when styled with a casual T-shirt and a ballet flat.

Ahead, we’ve put together the best-embellished jeans to shop on the high street now. With all the bling, pearls and studs included, these styles will inject some sparkle into your outfits.
