J Lo Brought Back a Controversial 2000s Trend With Joggers Ripped to Shreds

Jennifer Lopez is almost considered synonymous with attention-grabbing red carpet style, having worn a Versace gown that sparked the very creation of Google Images. Her date-night looks are equally internet-breaking, from high-slit gowns to cutout bra tops. And then there’s her wedding dresses, worn on film and in real life, including several breathtaking dresses she wore to marry Ben Affleck. But believe it or not, away from the red carpet and the glamour of date night, J Lo’s workout style is notable as well.

The “Shotgun Wedding” actress is often photographed headed to dance class in the best looks on the activewear market. Lopez is well-known for her workout style, spotted on the regular wearing a number of leggings and jogger looks, always with an oversized designer purse as her “gym bag.” She’s worn croc-embossed leggings that resemble a Birkin bag. She pulled off a divisive flared-leggings trend with fervor. And she turned heads in a super-cropped sweatshirt that could double as a going-out top.

Most recently, she’s taken on the controversial distressed trend of the early-aughts that’s coming back for your 2023 wardrobe with a pair of ripped-to-shreds, barely-there joggers. File it under the same category as Juicy Couture sweatsuits and Ugg boots when it comes to those throwback looks that have questionably come back into style with a vengeance. She layered a pair of high-waisted bike shorts underneath completely distressed white joggers. On top was a cropped white turtleneck sweater and on her feet were a pair of black Nike sneakers. She, of course, had a designer bag in the crook of her elbow. This time, a black leather Hermès Birkin.
