Lucy Liu’s Cropped Wide-Leg Jeans Are Trending for Fall

After Lucy Liu recently chatted with PEOPLE at the Through Her Lens: The Tribeca Chanel Women’s Filmmaker Program Luncheon about her upcoming role in The Devil Wears Prada 2, my mind became fixed on how to get a pair of her jeans. The phenomenal denim in question? Medium-wash, wide-leg, and cropped. 

In my opinion, the style strikes the ideal middle ground between baggy and skinny jeans — polished enough to wear to the office yet comfortable enough to run errands and relax in. As a shopping writer, my natural instincts soon took over, and I was searching the internet for lookalikes to fill the now-obvious void in my fall wardrobe. Lucky for us all, I found nine similar styles to Liu’s from Nordstrom, Old Navy, Everlane, and more. Shop my picks from $17.

Jeans Inspired by Lucy Liu

Levi’s XL High Waist Wide-Leg Culotte Jeans

These Levi’s remind me the most of Liu’s because of the strikingly similar A-line silhouette, cropped length, and medium-wash. Bonus: This pair also comes with a removable belt, which can be tied into a bow or knot for added visual detail. The denim is non-stretch, so I recommend closely referencing the size guide before placing your order. 

Depending on the occasion, these jeans can be worn with pointed-toe heels like Liu, a versatile pair of loafers, or even an adventurous heeled boot. 

Luvamia Wide-Leg Jeans

Although I love the drama of Liu’s ultra-wide jeans, this pair mimics her style, but with a more toned-down leg shape. I especially admire the pants’ high waist, five-pocket design, and ankle-length crop. They’re also constructed with stretchy denim, thanks to a blend of elastane and cotton, so they offer a close second to your favorite sweatpants (but with a more tailored appearance). 

“I have been looking for a pair of wide legged jeans that actually look good on my petite stature,” wrote a 5-foot-1 shopper. “The small fits perfectly.”

Old Navy High-Waisted Baggy Wide-Leg Culotte Jeans

If a notable crop is what you’re after, these culotte-style jeans from Old Navy might fit the bill. The high-rise jeans showcase a relaxed silhouette and hit at around calf length. My trick for a longer length? Order your size in the tall fit, which offers a 23-inch inseam. A note: Customers report that the jeans run a bit big, so many ended up exchanging for a smaller size.
