Lydia Jeans – Olive Night
Classic Cut with Contemporary Comfort
Say hello to your new everyday go-to: the Lydia Jeans in Olive Night. These high-waisted jeans offer a flattering, regular fit through the hips and thighs with just the right amount of stretch for day-long comfort. Crafted in a rich olive tone, they’re a versatile alternative to classic denim—easy to dress up or pare back, depending on your day.
Designed with a standard length that hits perfectly on Hil (5'3"), the Lydia Jeans strike the right balance between structure and softness. The 98% cotton composition keeps them breathable and sturdy, while the 2% elastane ensures a forgiving fit that moves with you, not against you. They're measured by waist size, and Hil wears the 28—a neat fit on her UK 10/12 frame.

Size Guide
Hil (5'3", UK size 10/12) wears the size 28 – a neat, structured fit with room to soften over time.
Sue (5'0", UK size 6) would go for the size 25 or 26, depending on how snug she wants the fit at the waist.
General Rule:
These jeans will soften slightly with wear thanks to the high cotton content, but they won’t stretch out significantly—go with your true waist measurement for the best fit.

Why We Love It
We love the elevated feel of olive—it’s subtly different and works beautifully with neutrals and brights alike. The high waist flatters all shapes, and the slight stretch makes them feel as good as they look. They’re a smart, modern alternative to your blue jeans.

Styling Suggestions
Hil’s look – Polished Casual: Hil wears her Lydia Jeans with a tucked-in silk blouse, leather belt, and statement earrings. Add heeled ankle boots and a tailored blazer for a dinner-ready feel.
Sue’s look – Boho Utility: Sue styles hers with a soft knit layered under a longline shacket and finishes with chunky trainers. A beanie and crossbody bag complete her look for weekend walks or coffee runs.
