Olivia Wilde wore the latest anti-skinny jeans trend to follow

When it comes to celebrities, you might be surprised to learn that Olivia Wilde is the one we always look to for denim inspiration. She wears a lot of jeans, even on the red carpet once in a while. Flared, straight leg, baggy, skinny - you name it and she wore it. But for a day out in LA earlier this week, Wilde wore a style that's new to her, and it's one that keeps coming back: sailor jeans.

Sailor jeans are basically high waisted jeans that are fitted at the top and wide at the bottom. They often have details such as patch pockets, double buttons, front seams and heavy stitched hems. They can, like most denim styles, be very easily dressed up or down. It's a style of denim we typically associate with French girls, so it makes sense that Wilde's pair is from Veronica Beard, a brand that celebrates the joys of a capsule wardrobe (something French women don't). swear by) and also has hints of Parisian style running throughout the line. Wilde's particular pair is sold out, but the brand offers many similar versions, some of which you can shop below.

Like skinny jeans, sailor jeans often come with a bit of stretch in the weave, so if that's what you like about more fitted jeans but you're feel ready for a change, maybe Wilde's sailor jeans. will inspire you to try something new for the coming season or year.
