Dakota Johnson Proves Straight-Leg Jeans Are the Perfect Base for Any Summer Look

Escaping boredom can be a difficult task when your favorite pieces are basics you opt for daily. However, Dakota Johnson has given us a true lesson in how to make the most of these garments without sacrificing your personal style and personality. Her approach focuses on three key pieces: nineties-inspired straight-leg jeans, a black knit top, and a suede blazer. The result is a look that’s as functional as it is sophisticated, perfect for the transitional season and with that effortless air that characterizes her.

The 35-year-old actor opted for straight-cut jeans in a light wash, which she paired with a round-neck knit top with a subtly sheer feel. The jeans in question, straight-cut with a ’90s silhouette— a pair of Levi’s 501s could be the ideal option—are not only back, but are the perfect all-around option for dressing well at all times. This style of denim has the virtue of being slimming without constricting and, above all, works with everything, from a more formal event when paired with heels to something more casual when paired with sneakers. In her case, Johnson paired them with a black top that served as the perfect base to complete the look.
