Move aside, skinny jeans. Wide-leg jeans are the denim trend that's officially dominating summer 2019. We've recently spotted stylish celebs from Margot Robbie to Bella Hadid to Diane Keaton shunning slim denim styles in favor of anti–skinny jeans—and we're here for it. Blame it on the sweltering 80-degree July temps, but we're taking a page from Robbie, Hadid, and Keaton and relegating skinny jeans to the backs of our closets too.
After culling through images of stylish celebs in search of fresh ways to wear wide-leg jeans, we have to admit Lucy Hale has all the best anti–skinny jean outfits. They're hands down one of the items the actress gets the most mileage out of in her closet—and of course we have proof. From a simple white T-shirt and jeans to an elevated look dressed up with naked shoes, we're breaking down the foolproof anti–skinny jean outfits Hale swears by (which, by the way, we're copying stat).
Scroll on to see exactly how the actress wears this trending denim style and shop similar pieces for your own wardrobe.
