It’s lowkey and stylish.
People frequently ask me which celebrity my style takes after. My answer? Somewhere between Reese Witherspoon, Meghan Markle, and Jennifer Garner (figure that one out). So, it’s only right for me to give Garner’s recent casual ensemble a nod of appreciation.
Garner was spotted in New York City wearing a laid-back look that was still chic and elevated. It included a striped crewneck T-shirt (a staple in her wardrobe), cozy sweater thrown over her shoulders, luxe sunglasses, and a woven shoulder bag, which is a style beloved by stars like Nicole Kidman. However, it was her pants and shoes combo that caught my attention.

The jeans-alternative featured two large front pockets, thick seams, and a slightly flared bottom. The carpenter pants (or sailor bottoms, as some may call them), offer a stretchier take than denim, boasting a form-fitting silhouette that’s flattering yet comfy. Best of all, they’re durable, standing the test of time and offering peak functionality.
J.Crew offers a cropped version, nailing the overall aesthetic of Garner’s pants. I can see myself pairing the bottoms—which are available in eight colors—with summer-perfect blouses and trendy belts, wearing them nearly everywhere, including picnics, bike rides, and farmers markets.
The perfect shoe to pair with such bottoms? Thick platform sandals—a.k.a., my go-to footwear choice during the summer. Garner’s sandals featured a chunky sole, cognac brown leather, and gold-tone hardware that elevated the overall look.
Similar options, such as this strappy Madewell find, are often super comfortable, adding extra cushioning between your foot and the hard floor. Not to mention, they’re extremely versatile, effortlessly pairing with shorts, flirty dresses, and comfortable trousers. The best part? You can score an extra 30 percent off the sandals with the code COOLDOWN at checkout.
