With the unpredictable spring weather upon us, deciding on what to wear and how many layers to don can be a conundrum. Shorts have yet to take over from jeans, which is why a pair of lightweight denim can come in handy.

Marks and Spencer's Collection High Waisted Cropped Slim Fit Jeans may just be the solution. Priced at £32.50, these jeans are available in an array of hues like soft white, light pink, and soft green, as well as lighter and darker denim choices.

The jeans cater to all body types with short/petite, regular, and long sizes on offer. Though the jeans fit snugly on the leg, they're not excessively tight and are cut to finish just above the ankle.

Paired with a belt, tucked-in white shirt, and some heels, they transition effortlessly into a stylish evening ensemble.

Those preferring a wider cut might consider Very's Wide Leg Jeans With Stretch - Dark Wash, retailing at £38. A tad pricier and crafted from a darker denim, they boast a hint of stretch due to the elastane content, reports Devon Live.

Debenhams introduces another option with M&Co Cropped Denim Jeans priced at £31. Ideal for mid-shin crop enthusiasts, these jeans, available in stone, light green, and indigo, flare out slightly at the bottom and are perfect for casual wear.
