Jennifer Lopez Just Wore Her Anti–Skinny Jeans With a Surprising Spring Shoe Trend
With a healthy rotation of fitted turtlenecks, faux-fur coats, and top-handle bags filling her wardrobe, Jennifer Lopez still leaves room for the occasional surprise outfit choice. Stepping out in New York, the singer styled up some of her favorite day-to-day items while working in a retro twist in a comfortable and wearable way.
As a '90s icon herself, Lopez gravitates toward silhouettes that dominated during the decade. Reaching for a pair of ultra-baggy puddle jeans with a distressed-hem finish, the singer created a casual silhouette that looks like it could have been plucked from her wardrobe 30 years ago. Wearing her jeans with tall platform heels, Lopez added inches to her height while stopping her jeans from grazing the city streets.
Steering away from the casual nature of the wide-leg jeans, Lopez's tall beige heels added drama to her weekend look. With her hair in a slicked-back bun and opting for a black Hermès Birkin bag, she thoughtfully styled her accessories and elevated her casual denim.
While J.Lo's denim choice enjoyed its heyday across the '90s, Gen Z's most stylish are reaching for these trending jeans on the daily in 2024 and wearing theirs with everything from '90s-inspired baby tees to cardigans. Therefore, the floor-grazing pants are back on our radars this season. As for her shoes, towering platforms were seen on the runways of Gucci and Chloé this season, cementing them as a need-to-know silhouette—one that taps into the overarching '70s trend we're also seeing pick up steam this spring.
Styling her look with a longline coat before swapping to a fitted blazer later in the day, Lopez crafted a relaxed outfit that would equip you well for any smart-casual events in your calendar.
