Jennifer Lopez has seen it all, so when she endorses a controversial trend, people tend to take notice. The superstar and mother of two was spotted in Los Angeles with her child, Emme Muniz, walking to a casual lunch. Lopez mixed luxury and affordable pieces including an Hermés Birken and designer aviators with Nike Air Force 1s, a cropped sweater, and baggy low-rise jeans. And, while the sneakers were an unusual choice for the star, it was the Y2K-era low-rise jeans that piqued our interest. 

Although low-rise styles have been creeping back into fashion over the past few seasons, it’s the unusual combination of the rise and the width that pushes these jeans into controversial territory. If you’re totally opposed to low-rise jeans, move along; this look isn’t for you. But, if you’re open to something a little out of the box, then you’re in luck. We found several pairs of loose, low-rise denim at places like Zara and H&M, plus a few pricier versions, too. 

This fit might not be for everyone — J.Lo can pull off outfits that most women wouldn’t even attempt — but, we think this one’s a winner. We especially love how the super slouchy fit works with both casual and more elevated pieces; perfect for those of us with Birken bag dreams but on a Birkenstock budget.

So, if you’re down to give Lopez’s latest look a go, keep scrolling to shop similar pieces, plus a plethora of sweet low-slung jeans to wear on your next lunch date. Enjoy!
