We’ve seen quite a rise (literally, lol) in cropped denim flares over the last few seasons. For a while there, it seemed literally every fashion person embraced the trend. While the denim silhouette is still around, there's been a decline in sales across the board. And it appears celebrities are especially getting over them. After scrolling through a range of imagery over the last few months, it’s pretty evident that the best dressed actresses, models, and influencers are phasing out the once famous jeans. Instead, straight-leg cropped jeans are the style du jour.
It does make perfect sense. The silhouette is similar in nature, but the straight fit feels a bit more forward and current. To showcase this further, we rounded up A-listers in their new favorite jeans, plus shopped out inspired styles if you’re looking to add something fresh into your rotation.
Ambrosio went for the "L.A. look" with a pair of distressed jeans, a graphic tee, a moto jacket, and ankle boots.
For a day in NYC, Bosworth made her light-wash jeans pop with a vibrant red sweater and coordinating heels.
Always keeping it cool, Smalls wore her jeans with on-trend combat boots and a stylish sweater.
Hadid's wider-leg ripped jeans look perfect with pointy black ankle boots, complete with a T-shirt and blazer.
While Chopra's jeans are a bit longer, they're cropped just enough to show off her patent shoes. The red crop top and duster coat complete her look perfectly.
Want to make an instant statement? Take a cue from Jenner with a furry colorful coat, those trusty cropped jeans, and "ugly" sneakers.
Hadid opted for a skinnier straight-leg fit here with her booties, unique top, and blazer.
