Designer jeans for less than 40 euros, that’s exactly what Uniqlo is promising for the start of the school year, with a model by JW Anderson that’s already freaking out fashion fans. This discreet but ultra-worked denim promises to be the new wardrobe obsession.
Since 2017, the collaboration between Uniqlo and British designer JW Anderson has revisited the English wardrobe with clean cuts, careful details and accessible prices. Season after season, straight jeans in 100% cotton denim stand out as the flagship piece of the capsule, priced around $39.90 for fall-winter 2025-2026.
Uniqlo x JW Anderson jeans: designer denim at low prices
These jeans have a regular straight cut, slightly loose without falling baggy, with a mid-high waist which structures the silhouette. The denim, thick enough to hold up but supple to wear, is woven from 100% cotton for an authentic feel.
The finishes remain deliberately discreet: tone-on-tone stitching, five well-placed pockets, and minimalist JW Anderson branding on the back pocket. Visually, the model could be confused with jeans from high-end brands, as its clean drape and worked line evoke a creative spirit.
Cut, colors and morphology: Uniqlo jeans designed to last
Designed as a wardrobe landmark rather than a statement piece, this model avoids extremes: neither slim nor flare, it falls straight from the hip to the hem. This simple line flatters many silhouettes, especially when you choose the right inseam length, available in several sizes on the site.
In terms of palette, jeans play the card of sober shades: raw denim, medium blue, light wash and khaki, to which white or beige variations are added depending on the season. These neutral shades are part of the quiet luxury aesthetic, with impeccable basics that never shout their logo.

In the evening, it works equally well with a slightly tucked-in, flowing shirt and low-heeled sandals.
