Julia Roberts Wore Dark Wide-Leg Jeans, Get a Pair from $29

It wasn’t until I noticed Julia Roberts wearing a pair of dark wash, wide-leg jeans that I realized I own that same silhouette in almost every denim wash except dark blue. So obviously, it’s time to go shopping. 

The Pretty Woman actress was spotted out in Los Angeles donning the fall denim trend that some stylists are calling the “new classic staple” — a.k.a., wide-leg jeans. Roberts opted for a dark wash pair styled with a dressy blouse and blazer, lug-sole loafers, oversized sunglasses, and a shoulder bag. 

A helpful hand in fall outfit planning, dark wash jeans are super versatile and can be worn both casually with sneakers or dressed up with heels or boots. Martha Stewart and Naomi Watts have already hopped on the wide-leg jeans trend, as well as Joanna Gaines who recently stepped out in a dark blue pair. Try the style out with similar pairs of dark wash jeans from Levi’s and Gap, starting at just $29 on Amazon.

Dark Wash Jeans Inspired by Julia Roberts

Ttfifeng High-Waisted Wide-Leg Jeans

Amazon shoppers are most impressed by the softness, breathability, and comfort of these wide-leg jeans, which closely resemble the pair Roberts wore. “Usually, after a day at work in jeans, I’m ready to rip them off when I get home and change into sweats, but these were so comfy I didn’t feel the need to do that,” said a five-star reviewer, who received them for free. Despite their cheap price tag, they “look and feel like really expensive jeans.”

Levi’s ‘94 Baggy Wide-Leg Jeans

Gwyneth Paltrow recently stepped out in baggy, wide-leg jeans — so naturally, we’re also adding a pair to our fall wardrobes. Inspired by ‘90s streetwear, these Levi’s jeans have a mid-rise waist and loose fit through the hips and thighs, before giving way to a wide-leg opening.

Amazon Essentials Mid-Rise Wide-Leg Jeans

These wide-leg jeans from Amazon Essentials are made from a midweight cotton blend with a loose fit that’s “comfy enough to lounge in [yet] stylish enough to step out in,” according to a shopper who received a free pair. “The mid-rise cut sits nicely at the waist,” and they’re “a solid pair of everyday jeans.”

Sidefeel Double-Button Seamed Wide-Leg Jeans

Whisker creases, slant pockets, a two-button fly, and exposed seams give these wide-leg jeans a bit of an edge. For date night, wear them with a fitted long-sleeve shirt layered under a leather trench and pointy heeled boots; and for a laid-back vibe, reach for a crewneck sweatshirt and sneakers. 

Gap High-Rise Cuffed Wide-Leg Jeans

Gap’s denim collection always knocks it out of the park, and these cuffed wide-leg jeans are no exception. Wear them to the office with a sweater vest layered over a button-down shirt and ballet flats, or dress them up with a blouse and kitten-heel boots. The high-rise jeans come in sizes 24–35 with long, standard, and short inseams available. 

Grapent Pull-On Wide-Leg Jeans

“I really feel stylish as well as comfortable in these,” wrote a five-star reviewer, noting the juxtaposition of the stretchy waistband and dressy front pleats. The jeans’ wide-leg silhouette is “very flattering and elongating,” plus the fabric “has great stretch.” Another person said they received “so many compliments,” and it felt “like I was wearing sweatpants.”

Luvamia High-Waisted Cropped Wide-Leg Jeans

Ever since Reese Witherspoon put a tailored spin on the wide-leg jeans trend, we’ve been hunting for a similar pair — and this cropped style fits the bill. They’re designed with front patchwork pockets and contrasting hem seams.
