If you thought you had to pack away your bulky jeans for summer, think again, because Hollywood is showing us how to make them way more practical for the season ahead.
Katie Holmes, Gwyneth Paltrow, and more stars are wearing cropped jeans in all kinds of trendy styles. The Dawson’s Creek alum wore a pair of ultra-baggy cropped jeans out in New York City, while Paltrow went for a spring walk in wide-leg cropped jeans. We also recently spotted Meghan Markle in a seasonal white version.
Cropped silhouettes are ideal for this time of year because they offer less coverage to maximize airflow, allowing you to show off your sandals or white sneakers. Looking to bring the trend to your closet? Keep scrolling to shop our favorite styles from Amazon, Nordstrom, Spanx, and more — they start at just $37.
