As far as celebrities go, Olivia Wilde is one that we always look to for denim inspiration. She wears jeans a lot—even on the red carpet from time to time. Flared, straight-leg, baggy, skinny—you name it and she's worn it. But for a day out and about in Los Angeles earlier this week, Wilde wore a style that's new for her, and it's one that always comes back around: sailor jeans.
Sailor jeans are basically high-waisted jeans that are fitted at the top and wide-leg toward the bottom. They often have details such as patch pockets, double buttons, and trouser hems, and they can very easily be dressed up or down. Like skinny jeans, they often have stretch in the denim, so if that's what you love about skinny jeans but are ready for a change, perhaps Wilde's sailor jeans will inspire you to shop for a pair.
