Sure, skinny jeans can be polarizing, but they're really a staple silhouette at this point. And yes, many of us (celebs included) still reach for them. That said, it's non-skinny jeans—straight-leg cuts and relaxed silhouettes—that many A-listers are gravitating toward for their forward nature. And after scrolling through a range of street style photos, I noticed that there are a few modern yet classic pieces that many celebs wear with their favorite non-skinny jeans.
Below, you'll uncover a gallery of the exact staples celebs pair with loose jeans. You'll find everything from Hailey Bieber's go-to uniform to a standout look from Amal Clooney. Oh, and if you want to add something fresh to your wardrobe, there's a smattering of shopping inspiration as well.
1. Blazers
You can't deny the power of a blazer to bring instant polish to any ensemble, including a denim look. Be it a modern longline silhouette or a more cropped pick, the trusty blazer is a go-to among celebs.
