We've all witnessed the rise of barrel leg jeans, a style that's gained a lot of momentum this year, certainly amongst a-listers and fashion influencers. And although we love this trend, figuring out how to style them is a whole other skill that takes some effort to master.
However, Anne Hathaway's 2023 look suggests that the key to wearing this trend may be a lot simpler than you think. Providing the perfect example of how to build an outfit around some slouchy barrel leg jeans, Hathaway is certainly proving that it's actually not so hard to pull off this latest denim craze. By pairing the jeans with a fitted, tucked-in t-shirt, she balances the proportions, ensuring that the outfit is still flattering whilst remaining laid-back and cool. She finishes the look with silver heeled boots, a black leather jacket slouched over her arm, and minimal jewellery.
Watch as we wear this outfit formula on repeat this year, from styling for casual date night outfits to donning this look on the office commute.
