Reese Witherspoon really nails everyday dressing. If you look closely, you’ll notice she has the chicest sweaters, easy-but-elegant dresses, and a sneaker collection to envy. But it’s her not-so-basic jeans, which have me actually excited to wear denim, that I keep obsessing over.
Look, I love straight jeans and comfy wide-legs as much as the next person, but it’s Witherspoon’s recent bootcut style that made me want to go shopping for new jeans. The small flare not only made her classic fall ‘fit more interesting, but it also elongated her legs—it’s a hack everyone including Jennifer Lopez and Jennifer Aniston rely on.
As a fellow short girl, I’m taking notes. Below, shop nine bootcut jeans inspired by Witherspoon’s pair, starting at $36.

Levi’s 725 High-Rise Bootcut Jeans
$70 $60 at Amazon
If you want to get Witherspoon’s look for less, consider grabbing Levi’s 725 jeans while they’re on sale at Amazon. This bootcut style, which is available in 24 colors, has a super high-waisted fit; between that and the subtle flare, your legs are going to look like they go on for days.
NYDJ Barbara Bootcut Jeans
$99 $64 at Amazon
NYDJ makes some of Oprah’s favorite jeans, so of course the brand’s Barbara Bootcut Jeans made the list. These are made from a cotton blend that shoppers say has just the right amount of stretch, explaining that it forms to their figure and holds them in but doesn’t feel restrictive. For jeans that fit snuggly through the hips and thighs, comfortable stretch is exactly what I want.
Madewell Kick Out Jeans
$138 $104 at Madewell.com
The Kick Out Jeans are a best-seller at Madewell, and they’re 25 percent off during the brand’s sitewide sale. While I always gravitate towards Madewell’s jeans (I know they fit me and last for years), I particularly love the wash on these jeans. That inky blue color is trending for fall, while the vintage-inspired fading across the thighs gives the jeans an effortlessly cool look. And while the color itself nearly won me over, it was shoppers saying the jeans “hug in all the right places” that made these an immediate add-to-cart.
Between Witherspoon and Lopez, these leg-lengthening jeans are on their way to becoming fall’s ‘It’ style. Shop more bootcut jeans, below.
