Olivia Wilde Wore the Perfect Anti-Skinny Jeans to Pair With a Button-Down
If you told me that I could only borrow clothes from Olivia Wilde's closet, I wouldn't make a fuss. Time and time again, Wilde proves that she has an impressive collection of elevated basics that strike the perfect balance between aspirational and accessible, classic and contemporary. Don't believe me? Take a look at her most recent off-duty outfit, which consisted of luxe, relaxed, and well-cut pieces that made her look timeless and utterly of the moment.
Yesterday in New York, Olivia Wilde put together a laid-back and effortless outfit. She wore flowy wide-leg pants and an oversized button-down shirt featuring a popular summer print: stripes. To complete her look, she opted for Adidas Samba sneakers, a canvas tote bag, and her go-to Ray-Ban Wayfarer sunglasses.

This isn't the first time Wilde has advocated for leaving skinny jeans or tight-fitting pants at home. Other than being spotted in workout leggings, the actress has been seen several times in the last few months wearing baggy straight-leg and cropped silhouettes, which are undoubtedly the comfiest looks to run your errands in. On each occasion, she's paired her pants alongside lightweight coats, like blazers and denim jackets, and practical footwear, such as retro-inspired sneakers.
