Anyone with any body type can wear whatever jeans they want, period. But let’s not pretend multiple generations haven’t been traumatized by low-rise jeans.
And Jennifer Lopez seems dead set on bringing them back. Did a shudder just run down anyone else’s spine? Let’s just say it: JLowrise.
Medium- and high-rise jeans are so forgiving. They allow for the infamous “millennial tuck”—you can bend over without risking butt-crack exposure, and if you add a crop top, it’s giving youthful carefree, not belly dancer.
Low-rise jeans on the other hand…you can’t even use the pockets! But if you’re Jennifer Lopez, you don’t need pockets, and she’s recently been stepping out in light-wash, low-rise denim with a flared hem. Everything old is new again.
She wore the ’00s staple to a screening of her new drama Unstoppable as part of a twist on the Canadian tuxedo. She paired them with a matching—though not denim—baby blue velvet trim Gucci blazer and accessorizing with blush pink suede peep-toe heels from Dolce & Gabbana, per Page Six.
