If you're looking for fresh inspiration for how to wear trending wide leg jeans, Jennifer Lopez's look from last summer offers a masterclass in balancing proportions with a short fitted herringbone blazer— and we're copying this formula as we enter spring.
This season we're seeing plenty of A-listers wearing loose-fitting denim, confirming that baggy, wide-leg jeans are here to stay. And finding the best wide leg jeans to suit your shape and style is one thing, but styling them in a way that feels polished and put-together is another. Lopez proves that balancing proportions is key, so pairing the relaxed silhouette with a more structured, fitted piece like a short blazer or jacket should be a go-to solution when considering how to wear this trending style.
She stepped out in New York wearing a pair of Gucci pleated jeans, paired with a fitted blue herringbone blazer layered over a plain white t-shirt. This laid-back look is finished with silver hoop earrings, a white Hermes Birkin bag and sunglasses from Bottega Veneta.
