Spring is almost at the door. How can we know? There’s warmth in the air, birds are chirping, and celebrities are swapping their skinny jeans for lighter, wide-leg alternatives.
While slouchy jeans have long been a popular choice among Hollywood’s best and brightest, Mindy Kaling, Sofía Vergara, and Pamela Anderson are just a few of the (many) celebs who’ve sported slouchy jeans in recent weeks. Although all three actresses wore a different take on the trend, each pair of jeans had a similar high-waist cut and relaxed silhouette, making them perfect for the early spring weather.
Whether you wear them with a loose cardigan like Kaling, style them with a simple black sweater like Vergara, or pair them with a matching button-up for a double denim look like Anderson, these types of jeans are a wardrobe staple you’ll be reaching for season after season .
From flattering bootcuts to cuffed straight-leg styles, we’ve rounded up celebrity-inspired relaxed jeans that are sure to give your wardrobe a spring refresh. Shopping options from Amazon, Abercrombie, Madewell and more starting at just $25.

We’ve long looked to Kaling for comfy and cute outfit inspiration, and the flared jeans she wore in a recent Instagram post were no exception. If you’re looking to emulate the actress’ relaxed yet structured cut, consider picking up this pair of bootcut jeans from Amazon. Customers prefer how their “stretchy” and “flattering” material “smoothes things out” without feeling constrictive, and multiple reviewers have even noted that they rival “more expensive brands.”
“These are some of the absolute best jeans I’ve bought in years – better than the $180 pair of jeans I bought and returned last month,” wrote one reviewer. “The fit is beautiful with a really high waist and long slimming lines.”

For those looking for a pair of baggy bottoms with a little added flair, try channeling Vergara’s off-duty look by opting for cuffed jeans. This option from Abercrombie, which comes in sizes 23 to 37 and extra short to long lengths, highlights the ’90s Curve Love High-Rise silhouette that customers already know and love with a pair of chunky cuffs. The best part? Not only do they closely resemble the actress’ pair, but they’re also “insanely comfortable” and “100 percent worth the price,” according to reviews.
“[These are] currently my favorite pair of jeans,” wrote one reviewer. “They are comfortable and I get compliments on them every time I wear them.
