Dakota Johnson wore the low-key sexy denim trend that I’m totally on board with

When you hear the word denim, you don’t immediately think of the word “sexy.” Sheer dresses are sexy. Lace tops are also sexy. I think we can all agree on that. Jeans? Not everyone thinks blue is sexy, but I say it is, depending on the figure and how you wear it, of course. Dakota Johnson just proved it to a T.

The actress was photographed out and about in the Big Apple. Considering her cool-girl style, her two-piece look isn’t that shocking; Johnson keeps her outfits relatively simple, but simple doesn’t mean boring or basic; just take a look at her ensemble for proof. She played with proportions by pairing a tiny black tank top that exposed her midriff with oversized low-rise blue jeans with an exaggerated hem. The big pants and little top combo is back and Johnson has officially launched his reign.

While you wouldn’t normally think of baggy jeans as sexy, I think they’re quietly and subtly just that: sexy. They are seductive and bold in their baggy; part of the sexiness comes from the fact that you don’t need to wear tight stockings. Because often the sexiest pieces are the ones that don’t try too hard, and baggy jeans definitely don’t do that.

Not to mention, baggy jeans are incredibly comfortable and perfect for the summer months: not only are they a sexy outfit, but they’re also practical. No wonder Johnson wore her pair on a hot day in New York, paired with a cropped top that’s also a summer staple. The actress completed her casual outfit with a pair of mint-colored Adidas Sambas, proving two things: Sambas are the “It” sneakers of the season, as are pastel-colored sneakers, the perfect in-between if shoes white ones are too bland for you. Jennifer Garner recently wore mint green sneakers and honestly, after seeing Johnson’s style, I’m now convinced I need a pair too.

Baggy jeans + little top + sneakers = the summer outfit of my dreams. It’s comfortable, but it’s also cool and sexy, and that’s everything I could want in a look. Shop more Johnson-inspired baggy jeans below.
