Jennifer Aniston Just Single-Handedly Made This Dated Denim Trend Cool Again
Just in time for autumn, Jennifer Aniston has exercised her influence to bring *the* denim trend for boot season back from the depths of fashion purgatory. While shooting The Morning Show in downtown Manhattan, the Friends alum was spotted wearing none other than a pair of bootcut jeans, a style that has gone largely unworn since the 2010s. The silhouette, which is fitted to the knee and flares out in order to encase a pair of boots, was replaced by skinny jeans at first and later by the vintage-inspired straight- and wide-leg jeans that reign today. But with a fan in Aniston, bootcut jeans could easily become the next big thing in the world of denim.
With her dark-wash jeans, the actress wore a pair of point-toe black boots, a cropped blazer with gold buttons, and a fitted turtleneck, thus providing us with just as much outfit inspiration as her Friends character Rachel Green once did every Friday night on Channel 4. And with autumn arriving any day now, this autumnal ensemble couldn't have come at a better time. Below, shop Aniston's exact pair of bootcut jeans. Trust me—you won't be the only one.
