Essential Denim Jeans From Iconic Australian Brand

A staple in every wardrobe, denim jeans are a fashion mainstay for good reason. Their versatility is, well, unparalleled. Not just in their ability to be dressed up for a night out, down for everyday comfort, and rugged enough to work in, but also in their effortless ability to combine style, expression, durability, comfort and a timeless appeal that, arguably, no other fashion piece can.

But which pair of denim jeans should you invest in?

Look to iconic Australian brand R.M.Williams. The pioneering founder, Reginald Murray (RM) Williams first introduced denim jeans 80 years ago. In the years that followed, the brand has become one of the most trusted and loved Aussie icons.

The secret to R.M.Williams’ success?

The brand’s uncompromising quality, craftsmanship and durability, combined with iconic designs that are versatile, comfortable and go the distance. All wrapped up, of course, in that rugged, authentic Australian spirit with an uncanny ability to stay relevant.

The new updated Australian-made R.M.Williams denim collection of five pocket jean fits is no exception, building on the existing ranges’ timeless and classic styles, with modern silhouettes, various colours, and body flattering fits, fabrics and rises that can be dressed up or down.

Here, we share three of the new R.M.Williams denim styles on our hit list:

1. The Hillier Jean

A high-rise slim leg that takes a modern spin on the super skinny jean. Cut in comfort stretch Italian denim with natural fibres that are soft and breathable, and have great recovery to shape and hold, the Hillier epitomises effortless style.
