Jennifer Lopez Took Her Fall Uniform to New Heights in Controversial Barrel Jeans and Uggs

When it comes to baggy jeans, Jennifer Lopez has a tried and true method of dress.

Nearly every time the 55-year-old breaks out a pair of wide-leg pants, she counteracts her oversized bottoms with a skintight turtleneck, topping everything off with the highest platforms she can find. The contrast between the baggy jeans and fitted top allows the performer to show off her hard-won figure while embracing even the most polarizing denim trend.

Yes, I’m talking about the controversial barrel jeans, though that’s far from the only wide-leg style J.Lo gravitates towards. Take a look at some examples:

If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it, right? Well, sometimes even the most tried-and-true formulas are worth tweaking. Back in March, Lopez was seen in a slightly cozier take on her favored turtleneck, opting for a striped sweater and long wool coat to brave the cold New York City weather.

However, Jennifer Lopez recently decided to stretch herself even further. On November 20, the Unstoppable actor was photographed in Los Angeles wearing her coziest take on her favorite fall look yet, swapping her usual fitted turtleneck for an oversized cable knit mock-neck sweater that only emphasized the dramatic curve of her barrel jeans. I can’t help but be reminded of the oversized look that Katie Holmes wore just last week.

However, while celebrities like Holmes and Jennifer Lawrence have embraced an “oversized everything but shoes” approach to dressing, Lopez wouldn’t even consider anything less than her chunkiest take on elevated footwear: Uggs’ ever-popular ultra mini platform boots.
