It’s time to retire your baggy wide-leg jeans for fall, according to Hollywood — and Jennifer Lopez is the latest star to do just so. Oversized denim used to dominate celebrity streetwear, but lately, retro-inspired flare jeans are having a renaissance.
J.Lo has joined Jennifer Lawrence, Sharon Stone, and Reese Witherspoon in incorporating the jeans trend into her streetwear. While in Los Angeles, the singer embraced a boho aesthetic, which consisted of a short-sleeve ruffle top and a simple white purse. The full look had an easy elegance to it that was tied together with a pair of subtly flared jeans — unlike wide-leg denim that creates a more loose, casual look.
If you’re ready to retire your oversized denim for good, you can find similar flare jeans below starting at just $22.
Flare Jeans Inspired by Jennifer Lopez
Quince Luna Stretch Flare Jeans
Quince’s flare jeans look practically identical to the pair spotted on Lopez, down to the vintage-inspired fade and slightly worn-in detailing. It’s made with a stretchy cotton material that reviewers claim is “so comfortable,” while still hugging your body. One reviewer especially liked how the jeans “did not loosen up as the day went on” — so you can avoid having to constantly pull up your pants while running errands.
Levi’s 726 High-Rise Flare Jeans
One of our favorite pairs of jeans is from Levi’s, and while we haven’t tried this pair for ourselves, it’s made with the same high-quality denim that earned our favor. This style has built-in “recovery” that helps prevent unpleasant sagging or bagging. Reviewers also like how you can easily dress them up or down, whether it’s in a blouse and heels similar to Lopez, or with a plain T-shirt and sneakers.
Old Navy High-Waisted Wow Flare Jeans
We tested a bootcut pair from the same line at Old Navy and enjoyed its soft, comfortable feel and stretchy waistband. The cotton material on this flare style has enough give that one shopper wrote that it “makes them feel like yoga pants.” That way, you can sit at your desk all day without the suffocating feel of rigid denim.
Abercrombie & Fitch High-Rise Flare Jeans
I always hear nothing but praise for Abercrombie’s jeans, and after trying a pair for myself, I can attest that they’re very comfortable. The denim it uses has a nice stretch, which makes it easy to put on in the morning (no hopping up and down required). The flare bottom is also fun to pair with a pointed-toe heel that’ll peep out.
Shop these flare jeans while they’re still in stock, and discover more styles inspired by Lopez’s outfit below for as little as $13.
