Jennifer Lopez's Jeans Are a Huge Departure From Basic Skinny Jeans

Jennifer Lopez isn't one to pick denim trend favorites. She gives them all a chance (and always looks amazing while she's at it, naturally). But perhaps because it's 2020 and comfort is very much key, J.Lo hasn't really been embracing skinny jeans as much as she usually does. And honestly, can you blame her? There are many other trends that are far more comfortable, and one in particular has really accelerated this year: distressed jeans, especially of the baggy variety.
While heading out to dinner in Los Angeles over the weekend, Lopez wore her baggy distressed jeans with a cardigan, furry coat, and Jimmy Choo x Timberland boots. The jeans are as far from skinny jeans as it gets, and we can't complain—she looks as cool as she is. In our research, the best distressed jeans on the market range from straight-leg to baggie and have strategically-placed (i.e. around the knees), organic-looking rips and a faded wash. Keep scrolling to shop styles that fit the bill.
