H&M x Lee collaboration: We’ve reviewed the new sustainable denim collection, here’s what to buy

While many of us have forgone wearing jeans over the past year in favour of an elasticated waistband, these loose-fitting mom jeans are the perfect pair to transition into donning denim again. Made from recycled cotton, these have little to no stretch and are supportive around the bum, while the zip fastening is robust and makes you feel you sucked in. Fitting nicely around the waist and skimming the thighs, they'll make an easily wearable item in your wardrobe. As mom jeans go, these are one of the best pairs we've tried – best of all, sustainability and style credentials will be on point. Also available in a light blue and a white wash, we'll be adding these to the basket ASAP.

Despite the soft to touch fabric, this dress is surprisingly rigid. Made from a blend of lyocell (50 per cent) and viscose (50 per cent), it's a far more sustainable option that using cotton, which gets a thumbs up from us. As for the cut, it's fitted around the waist and, for us, skimmed the thigh and bum area nicely. A versatile piece that can be worn throughout the seasons – in spring we'd pair with tights, but when it gets to the height of summer you could unbutton and wear with a lace bralette. As for winter, this would look great with a thick polo neck jumper underneath and your favourite winter boots. We were particularly appreciative of the deep pockets, that could store your mobile and keys with ease.

A timeless staple in anyone's wardrobe, a denim jacket is an essential for spring and summer, and we were instantly transformed to sunny days and festivals when we put this on. Similarly to the dress, this is made from a blend of lyocell (50 per cent) and viscose (50 per cent), and while not as heavy as real denim, it still feels well-made and a piece you can wear year after year, particularly important if you're looking to make your wardrobe more sustainable. It has a slightly cropped fit and a subtle puffy balloon sleeve. Now that double denim is making a comeback, we'll be wearing with the loose fit mom jeans.

Despite some Gen Z-ers declaring that skinny jeans dead, this pair is here to prove them wrong. Made from recycled cotton and elastane, some of which is also recycled, they're everything you'd want from a skinny, the great fit and high waist offer a strong silhouette that accentuates the waist and gives the illusion of longer legs. While the cut is supportive on the bum, it doesn't tighten or dig in when sitting down, as is the case with more traditional denim jeans.

As we enter spring, this is a reliable wardrobe essential, and it's not just luxe looking it's also luxe feeling. The white felt wearable and versatile, and as it's designed to be the middle ground between a shirt and jacket, it can be worn buttoned up, or unbuttoned with your favourite tee underneath. You may even choose to tap into the tonal dressing trend and wear with your favourite pair of white jeans (we'd suggest considering the H&M x Lee loose fit mom jeans in white).
