IT’S that time of year again.
The time when we put away the floaty dresses and sandals, and dig out our knitwear and boots.
And Marks & Spencer have already hit the sartorial jackpot with a new pair of leopard-print jeans that are perfect for autumn.
The store in Plymouth took to TikTok to share a look at the bottoms, which come in a wide leg cut with an on-trend animal print.
“New in, trendy and an Autumn must have,” they captioned the video.
“Will you be a leopard print girly this AW24?”
People were quick to comment on the video, with one writing: “Loveeeeee, need to buy these omg!”
“They look like the perfect shape,” another added.
“Thing is this M&S jean is literally the best jean ever too!” a third insisted.
“Omg that’s such a good leopard print design,” someone else said.
“Love these omg !!” another wrote.
“These are perfect,” someone else said.
“Gutted I can’t find them,” another wrote.
With the store responding: “They’re currently out of stock online.
“But worth checking your local store on the website and putting an email reminder on.”
“Sold out in all of London,” someone else added.
“I’m so sorry, hopefully they will be restocked online soon!” M&S replied.
“They’re meant to be arriving into stores for October so keep checking.”
Jeans are a wardrobe staple for everyone, but do the supermarket brands compare to the iconic Levi's?
Fabulous‘ Deputy Fashion Editor, Abby McHale tested four styles and compared them , here’s her verdict…
“As a teenager, I lived in Topshop’s Joni skinny jeans and I got my first pair of Levi’s when I was in my early twenties.
But now, nearing 30, I love nothing more than supermarket jeans. They are great value and really comfortable. They also last well, which my £100 Levi’s didn’t (so much for them staying good for ever).
But while I am a convert to supermarket denim, how well do pairs compare with those at high-end, high street stores?
Here I compare a series of styles, from skinny and straight to cargo and wide leg, and give my verdict and ratings.
I knew there was a reason why I loved supermarket jeans so much and I don’t think this comparison test has changed that much. And with some of the styles, it is really hard to spot the difference.
Sainsbury’s Straight Leg jeans are a Levi’s dupe but cost £20 instead of £100!”
In the product description on the M&S website, they said of the £45 jeans: “With their statement animal print, these pure cotton jeans are a standout piece for your casual wardrobe.
“Wide leg style, with an on-trend high waistline.
“Five-pocket styling provides plenty of storage, while a button and zip fastening ensures a neat finish.”
The jeans are currently available online in sizes 6 to 12 in a regular, and 8 to 12 in petite.
A size 10 is the only one in stock in the long length.
However, if you aren’t too worried about nabbing the leopard print, you could grab the jeans in another colour – with options from ecru to chocolate available.
And they’re even a bit cheaper, at £35 a pair.
