Jennifer Lopez’s Flare Jeans Are a Petite’s Hack to Longer Legs

Jennifer Lopez just delivered a masterclass in nailing nostalgic fashion trends. In late April, she attended a reading for Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas’ debut novel Climbing in Heels in an eye-catching look, serving a flattering nod to ’70s denim.

She was photographed leaving New York City’s 82nd street Barnes & Noble location in a puff-sleeve jacket, pink sweater, flare-leg jeans and pink suede heels.

Lopez’s denim choice delivered the ultimate fashion inspo for petite shoppers looking to elongate their legs. While details on the 55-year-old’s denim haven’t been confirmed, Amazon has a high-quality alternative that costs less than $40.

Coming in at $38, the KDF High-Waist Flare-Leg jeans feature a high-waist design with slimming tummy control and a removable, waist-cinching belt. But it’s the flare-leg silhouette that makes the legs look so much longer. Not to mention the stretchy fabric blend makes them easy to move around in!

If you’re in the mood for a posh look, take a page from Lopez’s book and style these trousers with a lightweight blouse and heels. The elevated design instantly upgrades graphic tees and tank tops. You can even pair the jeans with button-up shirts and espadrilles for casual Fridays at work.

While the light blue shade looks close to Lopez’s jeans look, there are so many other washes to choose from, including black and white.

With over 1,000 reviews, these jeans have earned the coveted Amazon’s Choice badge. “These pants are great. I struggle with pants fitting over my humpty Dumpty, but these are perfect with just enough stretch that they do not feel tight,” one shopper shared. “I’m 5’4 210 [pounds] and I purchased a large. The length was long, but I like it. I could pair it with sneakers or heels.”
