The conversation around skinny jeans in 2025 is unfolding in fascinating ways. On one hand, fashion-forward celebrities like Alix Earle, Sienna Miller, and Lila Moss are wholeheartedly embracing the slim silhouette. On the other, icons like Jennifer Lopez are pivoting dramatically, setting aside their beloved skinny jeans in favor of voluminous, baggy, wide-leg styles. A perfect example of this trend was captured in J.Lo's latest outfit.
While house-hunting in L.A., J.Lo donned a comfortable yet chic winter look. She paired her wide-leg jeans with Ugg's Classic Mini Platform Boots and layered a Fair Isle cardigan over a classic black tee.

Her choice of wide-leg jeans perfectly complemented her ankle boots. The jeans' design allowed the denim to drape seamlessly over the shoes, and just the right amount of fabric pooled at the ankles to reveal a hint of the toe box and part of the sole. Whether intentional or not, the result was a seamless blend of polish and laid-back sophistication.
If you're ready to refresh your denim collection and can't quite get on board with the skinny-jeans revival or are just on the hunt for the perfect jeans to pair with your ankle boots, keep scrolling to discover the best wide-leg denim options this season.
