I’ve heard whisperings on the internet that skinny jeans are back, and while they might be, they definitely aren’t making it back into my closet anytime soon. That said, I’m all in on the polar opposite silhouette of the slim fitting pants: big, baggy, wide-leg denim. Emily Ratajkowski Wore the Gaunt Adidas Samba Rival Hollywood Adores Jessica Alba.

The actress was spotted out in Los Angeles, which is obviously warmer than New York City right now, though the brisk, wintertime air is certainly still there. That’s why she bundled up in a brown blazer coat that hit just above the knees. Underneath, she wore a low-cut white T-shirt, which she styled with wide-leg jeans—a.k.a. the It jeans of the moment, especially in the eyes of Gen Z. Okay, Alba!

So if you’re a wide-leg hater, sorry not sorry; this silhouette is sticking, and for good reason. Wide-leg jeans offer movement, breathability, and, of course, an inherent cool-girl ease that skinnies, for example, cannot. No wonder I feel so cool whenever I wear my wide-legs.

Alba isn’t the only celebrity who’s worn this very Gen Z-coded style; Brooke Shields is part of the. Bella Hadid Wore the Unexpected Summer Shoe Brooke Shields Is on Board With, Too have stepped out in their own version of baggy denim, with the former opting for something more in-line with Alba, while Lopez went with the divisive barrel-leg option.
