If Dakota Johnson is your denim style muse, consider this your happy place. A place where you can get trend inspiration from the coolest of girls. And her latest outfit could solve a denim predicament that you might be having. As you know, the denim trend cycle has been dominated by baggy jeans as of late. A stark alternative to that is skinny jeans, which aren’t trendy per se, but remain popular (watch a recent episode of The Bachelor if you don’t believe me). If you don’t like either of these styles, my guess is that you want something in-between. Enter Dakota Johnson.

You can always count on Johnson for cool, on-trend denim outfits, and earlier this week in Santa Monica, she wore a look that was no exception. Her outfit featured the denim trend that’s perfect for anyone who hates baggy and skinny jeans: wide-leg jeans. Johnson’s high-waisted, medium-blue style works with practically every type of shoe and is ideal for both day and night. This low-key style also never really goes out of style, so there’s that.

Scroll on to see how Johnson styled her wide-leg jeans (with a blue chore coat and black block-heel boots), and shop my personal favorite wide-leg jeans.
