First, Jennifer Aniston in the '90s, and now J.Law—No denim ensemble is finished without this styling adjustment.

      When it comes to identifying the styling techniques that genuinely stand out, I often find myself paying more attention to celebrities whose outfits consistently resonate rather than the runways. Interestingly, two of my primary style inspirations share the same first name: Jennifer Aniston and Jennifer Lawrence. Whether by chance or destiny, both Jennifers effortlessly capture looks that influence how I dress. My personal style tends to be minimalist with a hint of ’90s influence, which is why Aniston’s wardrobe from her Friends days often inspires my daily outfits. However, when I want to evolve that aesthetic into 2025, I look to Lawrence. So, when I saw a recent look of hers that immediately evoked vintage Aniston, I recognized a styling trick worth noting.

      This week, Lawrence was photographed wearing relaxed, low-rise jeans that sat comfortably on her hips, complemented by a sleek black leather belt. While it may not be a revolutionary approach, it is eye-catching—especially because belts have largely faded from denim ensembles in recent years. Fashion insiders have been opting for jeans with bare waistbands, while Aniston was known for her penchant for belts, incorporating them as her signature finishing touch throughout the ’90s.

      A refined leather belt brings an element of polish, structure, and intentionality to even the simplest jeans-and-tee outfit. This subtle styling adjustment can instantly elevate an ensemble, and I noticed it repeatedly among the street style crowd at New York Fashion Week this September.

      The best part? This trend doesn't require any additional expenditure. Most of us already have a belt or two, and threading one through your jeans provides a Jennifer-worthy outfit recipe that has proven timeless. Pair it with your favorite tee or crisp shirt, and you’ll achieve a look that remains just as relevant in 2025 as it did in the ’90s.
