Jennifer Lawrence’s breezy pants are a silver lining in our summer fashion playbook.
On two separate occasions last month, the No Hard Feelings actress wore a divisive style that probably had a place in your closet back in the 2000s: long-ish pants. They’re much longer than typical summer shorts — hers fell below the knee — yet, they’re not full-length pants. They’re slightly shorter than traditional capri pants, yet they’re not as billowy as culottes.
Regardless of what you want to call Lawrence’s cropped pants, they looked exceptionally chic both times she wore the style. First, she paired them with a white shirt and a chunky cardigan knit. To accessorize, she added round frames, a black bag, and orangey-red shoes. Later in the month, she stepped out in the silhouette once more, and that time she opted for an oversized striped button-up and black flats.

As J. Law walked and talked, you could see her pants were moving with her. Their fluidity and styling breadth made us think of similar celebrity-worn pant silhouettes that we see nearly every summer. Just a few weeks ago, Sandra Bullock stepped out in a longer pair, while last August, Gwyneth Paltrow wore a nearly identical pair to J.Law’s, but in beige. The TL;DR of it all? Cropped pants are a breathable summer style that celebrities wear, and they’re one that can be dressed up, down, or anywhere in between.

The Dibaolong Loose Wide-Leg Drawstring Comfy Lounge Pajama Capris are an easy way to replicate Lawrence’s look, and they’ve earned more 4,700 perfect ratings from Amazon shoppers. Made from a spandex and polyester blend, the pants have tiny slits on the side and an elastic waistband, and they hit at about calf length.
One shopper wrote, “The pants have a range: They can be casual or be dressed down elegant,” and added, “There is nothing negative to say.” Another five-star reviewer described them as “exquisite” and said the pants are “super comfortable, drape beautifully, and move luxuriously when you move.” Many shoppers have also raved about them for post-surgery wear, too.
