Victoria Beckham is everywhere right now, and if this has inspired you to rewatch her self-titled Netflix documentary series (guilty) you might be wondering where you can shop her super stylish patch-pocket wide leg jeans - her own Victoria Beckham 'Alina' flares. Naturally, they're now very hard to get hold of, so we've been on the hunt for similar pairs to imitate the former Spice Girl's 1970s-style denim.

VB fans might notice her jeans are the same pair she wore in David's Netflix documentary Beckham, which dropped back in 2023. Usually styled with a simple grey tee, if you're hoping to recreate her classic look for less, we're here to help with our top denim picks for 2026.

While skinny jeans have come and gone (and come back again) we’ve always kept a pair of retro style wide legs in our wardrobes, because they’re a true classic. They not only streamline your figure but also stand the test of time. A good pair has a sleek, leg-lengthening flared silhouette that looks just as great on a petite body type as it does on taller women.

As with many cuts of denim they can be dressed up or down and this style in particular goes well with everything from a silk blouse and heels to a T-shirt and boots, making it the perfect all-round wardrobe staple, and one that, along with barrel jeans, is still massively trending for 2026..

If you fell in love with the VB jeans that the designer wore for her now-famous TV appearance, you still can shop them in sizes 28-32. But if £400 is a bit too pricey for your clothing budget, we've found some cheaper alternatives for you that you’ll definitely want to take note of.

Our shopping team searched everywhere for similar, less expensive looks, taking into consideration the details of the Alina - the *chef’s kiss* denim for 2026 that is absolutely perfect.

How we chose the best VB-inspired patch pocket flare jeans

  • Similarity to the real thing: We searched high and low for lookalikes that emulate the most chic details of Victoria Beckham's 1970s-style jeans, like the high waist, front patch pockets, wide flared leg and topstitched hems.
  • Price: If you've read this far, you're probably more likely to buy a less-expensive lookalike than Victoria's luxury designer look, so the jeans we've included at are at a lower price point.
  • Verified reviews and ratings: If we haven't tried the jeans ourselves, we've looked at the verified reviews - we've only included jeans that shoppers rate highly.
  • Trusted retailers: we've focused on brands and retailers that our research shows that Best Quality Designer Handbag readers trust and love to shop.

So keep scrolling for an edit of our faves to shop now from Reiss, H&M, Reformation and more.

EXACT MATCH: Victoria Beckham Alina High Waisted Jean

Editor's Note:

The original best seller. Made from compact twill denim in 100% cotton and in a selection of vintage washes, Victoria Beckham’s jeans feature front and back pocket detail, and of course the signature VB embroidery.


M&S High Waisted Patch Pocket Flared Jeans

M&S patch pocket jeans

Editor's Note:

These M&S jeans are so comfortable with their stretchy high-waist. They have the VB style patch pockets and flared finish, and come in three different shades.

H&M Wide High Jeans

H&M patch pockets jeans

Editor's Note:

H&M is always one of my first stops when I'm looking for affordable jeans. These are the least expensive in my edit, and they're so stylish. Available in UK sizes 4-22, they're made with a slight stretch and are designed to soften with wear as you break them in.

Reformation Alyssa High Rise Wide Leg Jeans

Reformation jeans

Editor's Note:

The It-girl brand loved by Jennifer Lopez, Taylor Swift and Hailey Bieber has come out with a VB-worthy pair of jeans - the style is so chic, and so similar to the Victoria Beckham look, from belt loops to hem.

Reiss Sakura Patch-Pocket Flared Jeans

Editor's Note:

Royal-favourite Reiss has this amazing lookalike pair. They have a very similar cut with a flared finish and are elevated by two front patch pockets. They also feature pintucks running down the front which creates a leg-lengthening effect.

Nobody's Child Highbury Flare Jeans

Nobody's Child's patch pocket jeans are for you if you like your denim to have a fitted feel on the thighs while still falling to a flared finish. The high-waisted pair is super comfortable and stretchy and comes in two different lengths.

River Island High Waisted Pocket Wide Leg Jeans

River Island patch pocket jeans

Editor's Note:

I've tried River Island's jeans and they're so comfortable with such a flattering fit, although if you're between sizes I'd advise sizing down. Featuring a high waist, patch pockets and a flared finish, I style them with a simple white tee and black heels.

Boden Straight Leg Pocket Jeans

Boden jeans

Editor's Note:

While these Boden jeans come in a straight-cut, they have a similar vibe to VBs. Sitting at the natural waist, they're designed to be full length with flats - ideal for styling with loafers or ballet pumps. 

Mango Wide-Leg Jeans

Editor's Note:

"For a true wide-leg cut, Mango just dropped these high-waisted patch pocket jeans as part of their new autumn/winter collection - and they're so affordable."

Made from a denim-style cotton fabric, these Mango jeans are available in five different colours and feature a wide-leg design, high waist and belt loops.

& Other Stories High Waisted Flared Jeans

& Other Stories jeans

Editor's Note:

Designed in Paris, these & Other Stories jeans have a high waist, stylish flare and duo patch pockets placed at both the front and back. They even have a similar cool, stitched hem - but for less than a quarter of the price.
