The 'Barrel Jean' Trend Celebrities Are Loving This Winter—How Jennifer Lopez and Gigi Hadid Style It
Jennifer Lopez's Cropped Turtleneck Sweater And Barrel Jean Combo In New York City
Earlier this month, the Atlas actress was spotted in Aspen, Colorado, taking a walk while sporting her Free People We the Free Good Luck Barrel Leg Jeans, complemented by a cowboy hat and luxurious knitwear. Last spring, the "On the Floor" singer demonstrated her enduring affection for this style of jeans (above).
In April 2024, Lopez showcased how effortlessly they pair with a cropped, green and ribbed turtleneck sweater, highlighting her toned abs and slim waist. She completed her look with a Dior bag and platform UGG-like shoes. As for her glam, the mom of two wore her signature voluminous caramel-colored tresses down, parted in the center and styled into loose waves.
Gigi Hadid's Black Barrel Jean And Vibrant Red Cardigan Get-Up In The Big Apple
Hadid showed just how cozy and practical barrel jeans can be when she donned a black pair in the Big Apple back in November 2023. The supermodel and style icon added a vibrant red sweater and matching knit cardigan, along with lettuce-hem white socks, black shiny patent leather oxfords, a graphic baseball cap and black shades.
The mom of one wore her blonde tresses down beneath her hat. Hadid dazzled up her casual ensemble even more with shiny, chunky gold hoop earrings, a charm statement necklace and a mauve lipstick hue.
The Bottom Line
Overall, as celebrity stylist and creative consultant Marissa Pelly told Marie Claire, "the bold and voluminous shape of these roomy pants can instantly amp up any outfit." When it comes to buzzing barrel jeans, there are so many ways to wear them.
Don't know where to start? Pelly says that "some of the best barrel jeans on the market are from brands like Agolde, Entire Studios, and A.W.A.K.E. Mode." Good to keep in mind for your next winter shopping trip!
