Lucy Hale's $78 Anti–Skinny Jeans Will Be Your New Favorites

If you don't feel like peeling off skinny jeans after a sweaty day in 80-degree summer weather, Lucy Hale found your denim alternative. Photographed in Los Angeles, Hale wore Free People Wide-Leg Crop Jeans ($78) with a simple tank top and flat sandals, and we couldn't think of an easier or chicer way to beat the heat.

Of course, the $78 price tag is definitely appealing, but our love for the jeans doesn't end there. The high waist and the wide-leg silhouette are supremely flattering, while the cropped length is perfect for showing off your new summer sandals. Scroll down to see how Hale styled the Free People jeans and shop them for yourself. Who knows: You might not need your skinny jeans for the rest of the summer.

Associate Director, Fashion News

Erin got her start as a Who What Wear intern over 13 years ago—back when the site only published a single story per day. (Who What Wear has since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC, which is how she ended up moving to Los Angeles from her hometown of San Diego. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2016, where she currently holds the title of Associate Director of Fashion News (as well as the unofficial title of resident royal expert—in case you haven't noticed her numerous Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton stories). She spends her days trying to incorporate her idols, Anna Wintour and Roger Federer, into as many stories as possible. Outside of work, she loves tennis, classic rock, traveling, and smothering her dog with affection.
