J.Lo! Hailey! Sienna! Sorry, Skinny Jeans, But Celebrities Are Keen to Thwart Your Return
I see the headlines and viral TikTok videos about the return of skinny jeans, but I'm not buying it. I've yet to see enough enticing skinny-jeans outfits to convince me to pack away my relaxed pairs for the spandex-denim option that traumatized me in my teens and early 20s. Call me stubborn all you want, but I'm not budging. Apparently, it's not just a "me" thing.
If skinny jeans were back, wouldn't we see fashion's most influential dressers giving up their anti-skinny jeans and making room for tight, ultra-fitted pairs? Instead, celebrities such as Hailey Bieber and Sienna Miller have stuck by their respective favorite baggy denim, from slouchy straight-leg styles to barrel-leg alternatives. The most loyal of them all? Jennifer Lopez, who can't stop wearing ultra-wide-leg denim around Los Angeles.
On Jennifer Lopez: Dior Large D-Journey Bag ($5300)
In the last few weeks alone, J.Lo's donned super-wide denim by Gucci, DL1961, and more. Most recently, she chose a light-wash version for a lunch date with her child Emme at The Ivy in Beverly Hills. With the loose, puddle-style bottoms, she wore a white T-shirt, a navy-blue barn jacket, and Ugg boots, adding gold jewelry and aviator sunglasses as well as Dior's black D-Journey Bag to finish off the daytime ensemble.
Once a frequent skinny-jeans wearer, J.Lo's turned a new leaf, relying heavily on baggier alternatives of late. If you, too, aren't set on fitted denim just yet, keep scrolling. There are plenty of anti-skinny jeans below to choose from.
