When you're Jennifer Lopez, a trip to NYC isn't just a trip to NYC—it's a trip to NYC in which photographers follow your every move. If you keep tabs on Lopez's travels, you may have noticed that she's spent a lot of time in the Big Apple in 2024. As someone whose job it is to report on what J.Lo and other celebrities are wearing, I've been studying her NYC outfits throughout the year and have found that she favors a glamorous, polished look that's also somewhat casual in the city. Speaking of casual, Lopez often wears jeans in New York, and there's a specific trend she's wearing more often than not during her 2024 trips.
That trend is baggy jeans, specifically baggy, pleated or paper-bag-waist jeans. Given that Lopez often wears crop tops and fitted tops, it makes sense that this voluminous denim trend would be a favorite of hers. The best outfits include pieces that balance each other out.
Keep scrolling to see a few of Lopez's pleated-jeans outfits from this year, with the first two being from just this past week, and shop the trend for yourself if it speaks to you.
