If you’re looking for the hottest denim trend, try dusting off some of your styles from yesteryear.
Celebrities are making old trends new again. Just take it from Cindy Crawford, who recently wore retro flare jeans, or Sofía Vergara, who repeatedly sports baggier styles à la Y2K. And it looks like another vintage trend is having its retro revival with A-listers; Michelle Williams just put a modern twist on ’80s-inspired barrel jeans.
A stylist recently told me that barrel-leg jeans would be one of the biggest denim silhouettes for fall, and stars are already proving the prediction true. We’re particularly fond of Williams’ take on the look. Her $278 Frame jeans were not too baggy but not too tight, making them easy to dress up or down for a variety of occasions. That’s why we hunted down similar styles to shop at Amazon for the season — score lookalike barrel jeans from Free People, Levi’s, Madewell, and more from just $36 now.
Barrel Jeans Inspired by Michelle Williams
Sidefeel Barrel Jeans
These popular barrel jeans have a mid-rise waistline and a roomy wide-leg fit that looks laid-back yet polished. One reviewer raved, “They are beyond flattering; comfortable stretch in the waist, slim through the hips, then a reasonable barrel flare with a tapered bottom.”
Free People We The Free Good Luck Barrel Jeans
These coveted Free People barrel jeans have an impressive five-star rating. The mid-rise jeans have an exaggerated barrel silhouette that balloons out at the knee and tapers into a wide-leg fit at the ankle.
They’re also made from a unique cotton blend that one shopper described as “sturdy.” They explained, “It’s definitely thicker material, enough to know it’s a good quality jean, but light enough to be comfortable wearing in any setting. I wore them on [an eight] hour road trip and I was more comfortable than when I wore sweatpants.”
Levi’s 501 90s Jeans
For a pair of barrel jeans with a slightly slimmer silhouette to match Williams’, try this classic pair from Levi’s. The ’90s-inspired jeans have a mid-rise fit that subtly flares out along the legs before tapering in at the ankles. They’re a cross between straight-leg and wide-leg jeans, making them an interesting alternative to your typical go-to denim. Dress them up with a breezy blouse and sandals, or keep them casual with a tee and sneakers for a timelessly cool look.
