Victoria Beckham Jeans: The Alina, the Gigi and How to Wear Them

0

Victoria Beckham jeans are tailoring in denim. The best known, the Alina, takes the label’s high-waisted, wide-leg trouser and cuts it in rigid cotton, so it holds a crease-sharp line from waist to floor. All the styles below are in the Victoria Beckham collection at Coveti, and you can compare them with every other label in our designer trousers.

The Alina jean

The Alina sits high on the waist and falls wide and straight to the floor. It has a tonal VB embroidered logo and a branded leather patch at the back. It is long, cut for a heel, and the denim is 100% cotton, so it softens with wear rather than stretching out. Coveti carries it in six washes, among them the Alina Jean in Ink Blue, the faded Alina Jean in Dark Vintage Wash, the Alina Jean in Fossil Grey and the Alina Jean in Washed Black. For something unexpected, the Alina Jean in Acai is a deep plum denim.

The Gigi jean

The Gigi is the Alina’s younger sister: low waisted rather than high, still wide in the leg. It sits on the hip, which gives a looser, more relaxed line. Try the Gigi Jean in Fossil Grey and the Gigi Jean in Ink Blue.

Straight and relaxed styles

If you prefer a narrower leg, the Julia Jean in Mid Blue Wash is high waisted and straight. The High Waist Jean in Mid Blue Wash has a relaxed leg and classic five-pocket styling, and the brand notes that it runs small, so take one size up. The Low Waist Jean in Washed Black is a slouchier low-rise shape.

How the jeans fit

Victoria Beckham sizes its denim by waist in inches, from 24 to 34. The cotton is rigid, so buy your true waist and expect a firm fit at first. The Alina is long; if you are under about 168 cm and wear flats, plan to hem it. Our sizing guide has more.

How to wear wide-leg jeans like Victoria Beckham

  • With a heel: a pointed pump half hidden by the hem lengthens the leg.
  • Tucked in: a white shirt such as the Ellys Shirt in White tucked into the high waist keeps the line clean.
  • With a fine knit: try a grey merino crew neck like the Austen Jumper in Grey Marl.
  • Under a long coat: a trench over dark denim is a weekend uniform.

Frequently asked questions

Are Victoria Beckham jeans worth it?

If you wear wide jeans often, yes. The Alina is made in 100% cotton denim with tailored proportions and will hold its shape for years.

Do Victoria Beckham jeans stretch?

Very little. Most are 100% cotton, so they mould to you over time but do not stretch like elastane denim.

What is the difference between the Alina and the Gigi?

The rise. The Alina is high waisted and the Gigi is low waisted. Both have a wide leg.

How long are Victoria Beckham jeans?

Long. The Alina is cut to be worn with a heel and will need hemming on a shorter frame worn with flats.
