We totally get it — wearing jeans in the summer may not be your first choice. If you find them too heavy for warm weather, celebrities have been reaching for a breezy version of the style that’s absolutely genius for this time of year.
Stars like Reese Witherspoon, Meghan Markle, and Naomi Watts have been wearing cropped jeans with polished cuffs, which make them so much more elegant. They are so practical because they allow your ankles to breathe, plus you can show off your white sneakers, sandals, and platform heels. You can even reveal a little more skin, like Sarah Jessica Parker recently did, in a pair of capri cuffed jeans.
If you love the look of denim but want something a little lighter, cropped jeans are it. Keep scrolling to snag similar styles inspired by the ones we’ve spotted on countless stars — they start at just $34.
