Joanna Gaines just offered up a master class in wide-leg jeans — and it just so happened to coincide with her new home design MasterClass, which she called “a dream of a lifetime to create” in a recent Instagram post.
The HGTV star’s wide-leg jeans in the photo had us bursting at the seams — mostly because they’re front-seam jeans, of course, in a sophisticated dark blue wash with grommet details at the waist and flared bell hems. She teamed the jeans with a black V-neck Henley shirt and open-toe platform heels.
Gaines keeps showing us how to wear not only wide-leg jeans, but front-seam jeans, specifically. While her latest pair are more winter-friendly, thanks to their darker wash, she proved they’re a year-round staple with a lighter cuffed style back in August. And she’s not alone — Katie Holmes strolled around New York City in front-seam jeans, while Pamela Anderson and Reese Witherspoon each stepped out in pants with the design detail.
From wide-leg jeans like Gaines wore to straight, skinny, and bootcut styles, front-seam jeans are a quickly emerging fashion trend. We found 10 styles on Amazon from brands like Lee, Levi’s, Gap, and Hudson, starting at just $34.
