Bootleg pants never fail to inject a ‘70s vibe to an outfit. Sometimes, that exact same retro vibe is what makes people shy away from these versatile pants. But if you know just how exactly to style it, it can look modern and chic.

Take styling tips from Jennifer Aniston, who made sure she looked on-point and not dated in black bootleg pants.

First, the 45-year-old actress picked the right bootleg jeans. It’s a black high-waisted pair that gave off a cleaner and more polished flair. The pants also have the right flared bottom – not too flared that people thought you’re actually intentionally giving a nod to the ‘70s.

Jennifer chose a simple boxy top with chiffon sleeves and tucked it in her pants. Simple, flowy and feminine blouses can inject softness to the outfit. Choose non-loud pieces for your accessories such as a pair of sandals, a simple leather bag and minimal jewelry.

This outfit can even be great enough for work! Try copying the ‘Friends’ actress’ ensemble with these coordinates:
