Michelle Obama, 62, Wore a Retro-Inspired Jeans Trend That Feels Fresh — Shop Similar Styles from $37

We found wide-leg jeans with a vintage flair at Amazon

Michelle Obama just took a style note from someone with excellent fashion taste: herself.

The former first lady, 62, appeared on Alex Cooper's Call Her Daddy podcast last month, right off the heels of the release of her book The Look, which chronicles her fashion over the years. For the appearance, Obama worked with stylist Meredith Koop to pay homage to an iconic photo taken during her time at Princeton University in the 1980s, where she can be seen wearing blue jeans and a matching denim jacket over a red sweater.

While Obama's recent outfit is the updated version of her past look, her denim choice was full of retro flair — and A-listers like Kelly Clarkson and Jennifer Lawrence seem to be on the same page. That's why we rounded up similar wide-leg jeans from Amazon's fashion hub, where you can get the look for less.

Astylish High-Waisted Straight Wide-Leg Jeans

$40 at Amazon

These wide-leg jeans look so close to the pair we spotted on Obama. They have a similar high-rise silhouette with wide, straight legs that are roomy without looking baggy. While they don't have the unique zipper-closure like the former first lady's, these jeans are outfitted with an eye-catching double button design.

Plus, they come in a lookalike dark wash that's great for the transition from winter to spring; pair it with your thick knits and jewel tones now, then transition to airy blouses and white tees when the weather warms up.

Lee Legendary High-Rise Trouser Jeans

$55 at Amazon

For a looser yet totally polished look, try these popular Lee jeans that are aptly named for their trouser-like silhouette. They have a high, fitted waistline that flows out into loose legs with retro seam detailing at the ankles. Plus, they're made from a soft, slightly elasticized denim blend that one reviewer described as having "just the right amount of stretch" before dubbing the jeans "perfect for everyday wear."

Levi's 318 Shaping Wide-Leg Jeans

$75 $52 at Amazon

I've practically been living in these Levi's jeans since October, and I don't plan on slowing my momentum into spring. They're made from a super stretchy denim blend that feels more like yoga pants than classic denim, but they're still smoothing and curve-accentuating. I also love their mid-rise waistline that flatters my curves without digging into my ribcage, which I often find with high-waisted pants. Another perk? Their wide legs look great with boots, sneakers, ballet flats — you name it.
