Nobody does denim quite like Jennifer Aniston. She’s worn ripped, bootcut and straight leg styles over the years, but I think this elongating skinny flare fit is the most flattering of them all.
She was pictured out and about in New York back in 2016 wearing Mother Denim’s Cruiser jeans, paired with a Gucci logo belt and a fresh white silk shirt by Equipment. But it’s the shoes that really elevate the jeans – hers are a pair of Burberry espadrille wedges, and although they’re mostly covered, the fact that the jeans fall to the floor rather than ending at the ankle has a leg-lengthening effect.
They’re all classic wardrobe investments that haven’t aged a day in the years since, so whilst they’re not still available to buy, I’m here to help you bring the look into 2025. I’d go so far as to say these jeans are so good, they’re making me want to try the subtle flare shape. Just when I thought baggy barrel leg jeans would be my forever favourite denim!

Shop Jen’s style
Mother The Runaway Skinny Flare Jeans
Jennifer’s exact jeans are the sold out ‘Cruiser’ style by Mother Denim, but these are the next best thing. The skinny flare cut means that if you pair them with any heel, your legs will look like they go on forever! Kate Middleton is also a fan of Mother Denim, so you’ll be in good company.
This stretch-denim style will fast become some of your most comfortable jeans, and they’ll work really well with a white T-shirt, black blazer and kitten heels.
Zara Flared High Waist Jeans
For a high street take on celebrity trends, the best Zara jeans will always do the trick. For just under £28, you really can’t go wrong, and I particularly love the wash of this style. It feels very Jen An circa 2016.
Equipment Signature Slim-Fit Silk Shirt
The ultimate white shirt? Parisian brand Equipment is the one all the chicest French women love. This silk option is an investment piece that’s worthy of a place in your capsule wardrobe.
TOMS Audrey Espadrille Platform Wedge Sandal
You get all the benefits of a wedge heel with these, but the platform sole makes them very comfortable. Jennifer’s are the Burberry ‘Catsbrook’ wedges, which have long sold out, but these are an affordable and easy way to give your look a lift.
Mango Wedge Sandals With Crisscross Straps
Tan is a great neutral option for shoes, and these will work with both jeans and pretty summer dresses. They definitely look more expensive than they are.
Jennifer added super high-end accessories to her outfit – including Burberry shoes, Tom Ford sunglasses, and a Chanel bag – but the actual basics of a white shirt and blue jeans are really easy to copy on any budget.
I don’t know about you, but I find it really easy to focus on buying statement items like floral dresses and leopard print shoes, but sometimes I forget the fundamental wardrobe pieces that are a go-to for everyday. Jean queen Jennifer is the person who does this so well, which is why she’s our ultimate icon for denim inspiration.
