Dakota and Elle Fanning Both Shunned Skinny Jeans in Favor of This Chill Trend

Before you get the wrong idea, no, I'm not saying that anyone should give up their skinny jeans. (After all, Kate Middleton is still wearing them.) But the fact is that celebrities are overwhelmingly favoring loose pant styles instead of formfitting ones right now. Case in point: Both Dakota and Elle Fanning wore slouchy, relaxed pants on a shopping trip in Los Angeles this week.
While Elle went for voluminous wide-leg trousers, Dakota chose chill rolled-up jeans. Both styles are great options if you're looking for laid-back, comfy alternatives to stiff skinny jeans. Scroll down to see how the sisters styled the trend in two different ways and shop similar baggy pants for yourself.
