We've reached a tricky time of the year for dressing. Too late for linen and too early for trench coats. We want to think ahead to fall — sweaters, booties, jeans — but we need something to bridge our wardrobe gap to match sunny-but-breezy days and ease us into fall.
New denim should be at the top of everyone's shopping list when the temps cool. There are always new trends to try, but this year I'm taking a cue from Jennifer Aniston. She's been spotted wearing wide-leg jeans — first in Los Angeles, then in Mallorca, Spain — and she's convinced me that I need a pair in my collection for fall.
If you're like me, slimmer styles feel much safer. After all, my 16-year-old wears wide-leg jeans. What would I look like dressing similarly? But maybe, just maybe, Aniston and my daughter are onto something. Baggier styles offer more breathing room, and when paired with the right shoe, they can totally make your legs look longer and leaner.

Looking for a great pair of jeans that will seamlessly transition from summer to fall? These cropped cuties are just the right length to pair with sandals when the weather is still warm, but also ankle boots when the temps drop. They're available in sizes 0-18 in three washes.
"Absolutely love these jeans," one fan raved. I just bought my third pair. I have a curvy figure and it is incredible to finally find a pair of jeans that naturally fit both the waist and hips. Incredible quality. Don’t hesitate to buy!"
Made from a slightly stretchy cotton-blend fabric, these light-wash jeans have a raw hem and leg-lengthening side seams. The 30-inch inseam may mean some petite people will need to have 'em hemmed ... or pair them with heels, your choice!
"These were the nicest jeans I have ever purchased anywhere!" one satisfied shopper wrote. "They were so soft and fit like custom-made jeans. The length was perfect, and they fit in the waistline so comfortably. I love the wide-leg style. The material is not heavy-feeling. I can't say enough about how I love these jeans. Reasonable pricing also."
The oversized cuff makes these jeans anything but ordinary. Just add a nice blouse, snazzy shoes and some statement jewelry, and you've got the perfect going-out look that's not too fussy.
Before you pull the trigger on this pair, it's important to note that the brand says they run big and suggests going down one size for an optimal fit.
More than 1,000 Amazon shoppers have given these classic blues a five-star rating. Fans say they fit nicely in the waist and that the wide-leg cut isn't too overwhelming.
A reviewer raved, "Comfortable, stylish and flattering. The fabric feels soft yet durable, and it has just the right amount of stretch to move freely. The cut is modern and makes the legs look longer. I've washed them and the color and shape remain intact. They're versatile enough to dress up with heels or keep casual with sneakers."
Need a reason to find the nearest JCPenney? These top-rated jeans are it! Folks who've tried them are pleasantly surprised by how well they fit and how good they look on different body types.
"I bought two pairs a week ago and I have never had a more comfortable pair of jeans in my life!" one gushed. "They don't squeeze you and they don't leave marks like all of the other jeans do."
The cool-comfort factor of jeans with an elastic waistband? Umm, yes, please! Though these pants may look too trendy and hard to pull off, don't be deterred. They'll look great with a relaxed sweater and sneakers during the fall.
Hate feeling sucked in by high-waist jeans? Let your tummy breathe in a low-rise style. This Aeropostale pair is ideal because it'll fully cover your rear without reaching your bra.
Before you buy, take heed: These jeans run big, and most shoppers urge sizing down.
"Runs very large, but so cute when you get the right size," one noted. Agreed another: "Amazing, cute, comfy jeans. Definitely size down!"
Not ready to risk a muffin-top situation in low-slung jeans? Then go with this high-rise pair that has lots of stretch and a full-length 32-inch inseam. There are four blue washes to choose from, plus black and white.
"OK, these jeans! They're perfect! They're stretchy and comfortable. They fit my curves perfectly. And I don't have to hem them! I will be buying a few more pairs," one fan commented.
A Goldilocks-inspired shopper wrote, "Not too tight or too baggy, and the length is not too long or too short!"
It's not every day that you can score Levi's jeans for under $50, so don't miss out. These wide-leg wonders are available in four colors in sizes 26-34. Even better, they have a built-in shaping panel at the waist to support your tummy.
"They are super comfortable and a great fit! Love the stretch. They are my first pair of wide-leg jeans in a very long time so I have to get used to that, but I am taking these on my trip to Ireland because I know they'll be comfortable!" a shopper shared.
