Jennifer Lopez might be best known for her stunning selection of elegant sundresses (often styled alongside platform heels and a Birkin bag), but she’s just as masterful at casual dressing, even if she doesn’t show off her skills quite as often. Fortunately for us J.Lo style lovers who err more on the side of laid-back fashion, the actress and singer was just spotted in Beverly Hills wearing the perfect effortless jeans-and-tee outfit that’s surprisingly easy to copy on a budget (minus the Birkin, of course).
For a lunch date with her child at E. Baldi, a celeb-favorite Italian on Canon Drive, Lopez wore a cropped white T-shirt with a cream, crocodile Hermès Birkin bag, orange-tinted Bottega Veneta sunglasses, Femme Los Angeles suede pumps, and an immaculately distressed pair of Gucci wide-leg jeans. Since I am so used to seeing Lopez in skirts and dresses, I immediately zeroed in on her jeans, falling in love with the shape and wash. At $810 per pair, that’s not exactly shocking. They better be flawless.

Here’s where the budget-friendly part comes in. After peeking at my credit card bill and ruling out the concept of splurging on her exact Gucci jeans, I went on a search for something similar that wouldn’t set me back quite as significantly in the financial department. That’s when I stumbled across a pair of H&M jeans with a similar faded wash, high rise, and ultra-wide leg. They also have tons of great reviews and cost just $30.
“I just bought my 4th pair because of how often I was wearing my first two (which are still in perfect condition after 8 months of consistent wear),” wrote one happy customer. “I love these jeans so much, I have purchased 4 pairs in different shades,” said another.
If you’re as convinced as I am to press purchase on the $30 jeans, scroll down. They are literally just a click away.

You can’t go wrong with a pair of Levi’s. And if you prefer a higher rise, always choose the Ribcage styles.
These are too good to pass up.
