Jessica Alba has been serving up lewks this past week, wearing items like dad shorts, see-through blouses, coffee-toned dresses, and billowy pants. The actress’ modern fashion sense surely shines through, though her recent ensemble nodded to the ‘80s.
Making an appearance on SiriusXM, the actress wore a neutral corset top, quarter-sleeve blazer, balloon pants, and platform white sneakers. The $595 Co pants and on-sale $231 Axel Arigato kicks both threw it back to the past when bigger clothing was better. While some may have mixed feelings on the controversial denim and nostalgic tennis shoes, I’m on board—especially with celebrities like Katie Holmes, Jennifer Lawrence, and Amal Clooney wearing similar styles.

Not to mention, her jeans and sneaker combo is totally summer approved; add a fitted tank or tube top and you have a perfectly balanced ensemble. Plus, the bright tennis shoes are super practical, allowing you to wear the ‘fit to picnics, concerts, farmers markets, and more.

Banana Republic Mid-Rise Barrel Jean
Buy on Gapfactory.com $80 $41
If you’re new to balloon jeans, this Banana Republic version may be for you. It offers a less dramatic silhouette including darted details, slanted pockets, a mid-rise waist, and medium blue wash. It’s available in sizes 24 to 35, and you can snag an extra 15 percent off the already marked-down price tag.
Nike Air Force 1 ‘07 Sneaker
Buy on Nordstrom $115
Alba’s shoes instantly reminded me of the Nike Air Force 1 sneaker—which is less than half the price of the designer style. It’s a classic for a reason, boasting a low-rise silhouette, cushioned insole, grippy bottom, and lace-up style. The clean lines offer a timeless profile that can be worn for years to come with both casual and dressy attire.
Free People We the Free Good Luck Mid-Rise Barrel Jean
Buy on Freepeople.com $98
For a super wide fit, consider the bold Free People barrel jean. It’s packed with bohemian features, including a worn-in design, back patch, tapered ankle, super slouchy fit, and non-stretch denim. I suggest sizing down for a more snug feel, or go with your typical size for a looser fit.
Adidas Superstar Sneaker
Buy on Nordstrom $100
You can never go wrong with Adidas, especially when talking about the Superstar Sneaker. Whether you’ve owned the shoe in the past or know someone who did, it’s time to bring it back thanks to the clean design, textured round toe, and notable three-stripe overlays. Just like Alba’s sneaker, it adds an unfussy element to just about any look.
