There's a reason why Anne Hathaway and Jennifer Aniston jet around town in cuts like these. This style of roomy denim can be worn for running errands or even the office. These classic Levi's look similar to the ones I've seen on the stars, plus one petite shopper said they feel like "wearing sweatpants." Another buyer appreciated that the jeans "hold their shape" after long periods of wear.

Black jeans are always in. As such, I looked towards Katie Holmes’ taxi-hailing look, which led me straight to this more-than-half-off pair from Banana Republic Factory. The high-waisted jeans have a wide-leg silhouette and are constructed with stretch denim. One reviewer shared that the jeans are “super soft and hug the hips just right.”

Similar to Sharon Stone, Reese Witherspoon is in on the revival of flare jeans. I'm a fan of how she styled this medium-wash pair of retro jeans with a long-sleeve black T-shirt and cognac-colored leather jacket. This high-rise pair of Wranglers is our affordable way of mimicking Witherspoon's look. According to one customer, “the stretchiness accommodates my curves well.”

Keep scrolling for more celebrity-inspired jeans for the fall including a straight-leg pair that’s similar to Courteney Cox’s and a frayed-hem option that reminds us of Naomi Watts’ date-night preference.
