Gwyneth Paltrow Is Convincing Us to Return to This Cheery Denim Trend, so We Found Jeans That Start at $16

Gwyneth Paltrow is making fashion fun again.

The Goop founder, 51, shared a few of her OOTDs from her “relaxed January” on Instagram earlier this month, and a certain pair of pants caught our eye. In the first photo, she wore wide-leg jeans, which wasn’t surprising at all: Anne Hathaway ditched white wide-legs in December, Katie Holmes styled black in September, and Jennifer Lawrence rocked a darker denim style last March.

So what was actually recorded in Paltrow’s outfit? The bright red color of her pants. It was a productive change from the other colors, and while it was definitely the centerpiece of her outfit, it didn’t look overdone.

Denim is worn so often that it is almost like its own “neutral”. That’s why it’s important to add a little color to your outfit every now and then. Colorful pants require minimal effort, but they instantly make any basic outfit a new one with their fantastic value.

And don’t feel like you have to change everything you know about your style: wear them in whatever silhouette you want, whether it’s wide leg, like Paltrow, or wide leg jeans. It is important to choose something other than blue, black or white.

Jeans are usually made from thick denim which can be itchy, thick and heavy. But according to customers, these slim-fitting pants seem to be the opposite: “They’re stretchy enough that I could probably do yoga in them, but [they] they look like regular jeans,” said one five-star reviewer. Many others have described them as the “lightest” and “most comfortable” jeans ever.

And compared to many others on the market, which cost over $100 each, these are only $30, depending on size and color. So even if you buy two or three pairs, you’re still probably paying less than you would elsewhere.

For more legroom, boot styles like these Levi’s jeans tend to be looser from the knee down. These sale pants are also high-waisted for a bit more support and waistline, and come in sizes 24 to 34 with short and regular inseams. The brand is also one worn by Hilary Duff.

Style them with a striped sweater and some comfy Mary Janes to recreate the Paltrow look. Then bring them into spring with a pretty button-up blouse and Birkenstock sandals.

One of the other cool things about colorful jeans is that you don’t have to stick to just red. You can choose based on your favorite color or whatever’s trending — peachy pairs and purple cargos are all fair.

If you’re just into a really clean-looking aesthetic, there are styles that are technically still in color, but are more in line with neutrals. This Abercrombie & Fitch pair, for example, is so pale pink that it almost looks more creamy.

If you’re ready to color the pair into your own, keep scrolling to shop more Gwyneth Paltrow-inspired styles.
