Jennifer Lopez Declares Dirt Girl Summer In Some Very Baggy Denim

You know how all the rich teens of the 2010s would buy pre-ripped jeans to achieve the same look skater kids created with razors and scissors (or by repeatedly falling off their boards and skimming their knees)? Well, I’m not sure if J.Lo is attempting to look like she rode to Manhattan on a dirt bike, but her Acne jeans are definitely designed to appear as if they’ve literally been dragged through the mud.

Lopez further emphasised her (kinda sorta) down-to-earth fit by pairing her dirt-washed denim with what seem to be R13’s Double Stack Lace-Up Boots, though she should have bashed her Birkin against the pavement a few times for good measure. We all know the chicest luxury bags are the ones that have been used to death. Just ask the Olsen twins.

While these faux-dirty jeans may seem off-brand for Jennifer Lopez — who typically favours more glitzy, polished looks — her spring 2024 wardrobe has been filled to the brim with oversized denim, which she has taken to pairing with a turtleneck and boots. Just the day before, she styled her baggiest jeans using this exact formula.

In fact, she wore these Acne jeans as part of her spring uniform earlier this month, counteracting the distressed affect with a structured wool coat, light blue stiletto boots, and a matching quilted Chanel purse.

So, what’s next for J.Lo’s dirt girl/normcore summer? My vote: Balenciaga’s platform crocs.
