As the UK basks in the warmer weather, many are dusting off their summer attire or investing in new additions to see them through the hopefully sun-drenched months ahead. With the mercury set to rise this week, it's an ideal opportunity to rejuvenate your wardrobe.
High street retailer Next has seriously upped their game in recent months and is at the forefront of places to shop this season, with some fantastic spring/summer pieces - and one item in particular is already proving popular with shoppers.
Retailing at £38, the Next Cropped Patch Pocket Jeans have received glowing reviews from customers. The jeans, offered in light blue and cream, are available in both regular and petite sizes to accommodate all body types.

These cropped jeans are crafted from a cotton-rich denim material, designed with comfort and longevity in mind. Featuring patch front pockets, dual rear pockets, and a traditional button and zip fastening, these jeans provide a chic yet practical look that can be dressed up or down, reports the Irish Mirror.
Whether you're teaming them with sandals for a relaxed day out or coupling them with trainers for a sporty edge, these jeans are versatile enough to fit any occasion. Throw on a blazer and heels for a more refined look, or keep it casual for a day of sightseeing or shopping.
Crafted from a blend of 99% cotton and 1% elastane, these trousers offer just the right amount of stretch, ensuring a snug yet flexible fit that accompanies your movements throughout the day. The denim is robust, contributing to the jeans' structured silhouette while simultaneously maintaining comfort and breathability. As expected, certain sizes have already been snapped up online, so it might be worth checking your nearest Next store for further stock.
But it's not solely their appearance that has enamoured customers; the fit, ease, and durability have all been praised. One customer enthused: "Lovely jeans. Perfect fit and colour".
Another added: “These look great and look forward to wearing. The style hides a multitude of sins and they are really comfortable. I ordered long although only 5'9, they look better just above the ankle rather than full crop. Great value and style.”
Numerous comments have dubbed these jeans as the ultimate summer staple. One said: "Perfect summer jeans. I love the range of petite clothing Next offer. Great to have the option of picking up in store next day."
"I love these jeans. They are actually better than they looked in the picture,” wrote a fourth. “Great with trainers or sandals. Perfect for spring/summer."
A single, one-star review, called the jeans ‘shapeless’. But other shoppers have praised the style, adding: "Nice thick denim with a great cropped wide leg cut. Good quality all round. No stretch to it but this is sometimes nice as holds the tummy in."
Alternatively, Marks and Spencer is selling a similar pair of cropped trousers. They are not in a jeans material, but rather a Tencel-rich fabric which has a smooth, soft and slightly silky appearance. Priced at €29.50 and available in four different colours, the description of their Lyocell Rich Wide Leg Cropper Trousers reads: "These trousers are crafted from Tencel-rich fabric for a soft, lightweight feel. Flattering wide leg shape, with a cropped length and a high elasticated waist. A drawstring fastening ensures a secure fit. Complete with two side pockets for your essentials."
Meanwhile, 'trending' on River Island's Irish website are its White Denim Skinny Capri Trousers priced at £36 and selling out fast. Or shop the Next cropped jeans here.
