A new look has garnered major attention on social media, and it has the fashion world divided.

Barrel jeans have become the new “it” denim style thanks to its exaggerated horseshoe-like legs that have some people claiming it’s the shape of the summer, while others find the look practically impossible to style. Thankfully, TikTok has some ideas on the best way to wear the viral barrel jeans. While there are a slew of barrel styles to choose from, one seems to have risen above the rest.

More than 27 million TikTok videos have been made about the We the Free Barrel Jeans from Free People, with users showing off how to style the look in the most fashion-forward way. TikToker Julia Huynh has earned more than a million views on the platform, where the user claims the reason the style works isn’t a result of “my body — I think it’s the way I wear them.” She then proceeds to theorize that long and low-rise fits will look more flattering than a cropped style.
