Jennifer Lopez’s jeans weren’t exactly the first thing everyone talked about when she and Ben Affleck were photographed grabbing lunch together this past weekend, but they were the second. For every three comments about the surprising reunion, there was one about those body-hugging blue jeans.
Lopez is no stranger to a statement jean, but unlike other styles—including those drawstring wide-legs and that intentionally dirty pair—her recent style didn’t have the internet divided. Between the super high waist, leg-elongating flare, and chic dark wash, these jeans quickly became everyone’s most coveted fall item. Of course, that also meant that her exact style from Veronica Beard immediately sold out. Fortunately, there are plenty of great lookalikes. Below, shop nine flare jeans inspired J.Lo’s sold-out pair.
9 Jennifer Lopez-Inspired Flare Jeans
1822 Denim Fit and Lift High-Waist Flare Jeans
1822 Denim’s Fit and Lift jeans are a dead ringer for Lopez’s pair, and they’re just $59. Like the star’s jeans, these sit high on the waist, hugging the hips and thighs before expanding into a dramatic flare at the bottom. Not only is this silhouette known to be leg-lengthening, but many fans say that exact pair also lifts their butt. Even curvy shoppers that typically experience gapping at the waist reported that this stretchy style fits them “perfectly.”
Spanx EveryWear Flare Jeans
InStyle’s fashion editors (and their mothers!) swear by Spanx’s comfortable and smoothing jeans, so this Lopez-inspired style is a no-brainer. While I’d never thought of pull-on jeans to be chic, the EveryWear Flares have me rethinking that. Their four-way stretch helps wearers get a perfect fit while the front pocket patches elevate the style. And thanks to the decorative front button, these look like a standard pair of jeans—the fact that they pull on like your comfiest pair of leggings gets to be our secret.
Good American Good Legs Flare Jeans
Good American’s flare jeans, which are available in sizes 00-30, are a favorite among Nordstrom shoppers for their fit and feel. These jeans are made with a stretchy cotton-blend, which fans say is not only “so soft,” but lifts, holds, and shapes without feeling “suffocating.”
If you ask me, Lopez just convinced us all we need a pair of flared, leg-lengthening jeans for fall. Below, shop more styles from $40.
