Dakota Johnson is Hollywood royalty and one of the most effortlessly stylish actors out there. As a true expert of denim-wearing, it was no surprise to see her as the new face of Calvin Klein, an all-American brand known for its long-lasting legacy in this field. In their latest campaign, Johnson was (un)covered in some of their signature pieces, including CK-branded bras, jeans and the perfect, vintage-inspired denim jacket. In an interview that accompanied the launch of the campaign, Johnson revealed her favourite pair of jeans of the moment.
“I am very into the Calvin baggy, ripped jean at the moment. They can be dressed up or down and I feel slinky and comfortable in them,” Johnson told ELLE.
Of course, the campaign captures her in this exact pair, lounging on a piano without a top on. And while this total look is pretty fab, you might want to figure out a slightly more work-appropriate way to pull off the actor's favourite jeans.

So, what's the best way to wear a pair of distressed baggy jeans à la Dakota Johnson? It's a tale of two choices – one that's all about dressing them up and another that will help you find a way to pull off her classic off-duty look.
The key to dressing up a pair of ripped, baggy jeans like Miss Johnson is about keeping things low-key. Yes, there's an undeniable sense of elegance, with a chic pair of ankle boots or low heels in neutral colours. But it's the juxtaposition of the top part that ties it all together. A cropped cardi or a modern leather piece like a blazer or a dropped-waist bomber jacket will act as that perfect merging of daytime looks appropriate for the evening.

Just like with the other option, the jeans here act as a connection between the top and the bottom. If you pick something sporty, like an oversized grey hoodie, make sure to wear it with a sleek, low-heeled ballet flat. If you prefer a knit fabric, pick an oversized jumper with a statement sleeve or a fun colour, and wear it with a sock shoe or a flat ballet trainer. Contrasting stories are essential in looking easy but still put-together.
