Gwyneth Paltrowis making fashion fun again.
TheGoop founder, 51, shared a few of her OOTDs from her “relaxed January” on Instagram earlier this month, and a certain pair of pants caught our eye. In the first photo, she wore wide-leg jeans, which wasn’t at all out of the blue: Anne Hathawaypulled out a white wide-leg pairin December, Katie Holmesstyled black onesin September, and Jennifer Lawrencewore a darker denimstyle last March.
So, what really registered about Paltrow’s outfit? The bright red color of her pants. It was a productive change-up from other colors, and while definitely the centerpiece of her outfit, it didn’t look overdone.
Denim is worn so frequently that it’s almost like its own “neutral.” That’s why adding some color into your outfit every now and then is important. Colorful pants require minimal effort, but instantly make any basic outfit anew with their eye-popping payoff.
And don’t feel like you have to switch up everything you know about your style: Wear them in whichever silhouette you prefer, whether that’s wide-leg, like Paltrow, or flare jeans. The important thing is opting for something beyond just blue, black, or white.

Jeans are usually made from thick denim that can feel itchy, thick, and heavy. But according to shoppers, these shaping skinny ones appear to be the opposite: “They’re stretchy enough I could probably do yoga in them, but [they] look just like regular jeans,”said one five-star reviewer. Many others described them as “lightweight” and the “most comfortable” jeans.
And compared to many others on the market, which cost more than $100 each, these are only $7, depending on the size and color. So even if you do buy two or three pairs, you’re still probably paying less than you would elsewhere.
