Free People has become a destination for elevated boho staples that celebrities such as Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez have worn.

We the Free Barrel Jeans have become a controversial denim style for 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.
Trending on Billboard
More than 27 million TikTok videos have been made about the We the Free Barrel Jeans, with users showing off how to style the look in the most fashion-forward way. TikToker Julia Huynh has earned around 1.1 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.
While the Free People denim and barrel jeans in general have fashion lovers questioning its stylishness, that hasn’t stopped people from stocking up on the look. Free People’s version is not just under $100, it also comes in 15 washes to choose from — and it’s already selling out fast.
To make sure you get your hands on a pair to test the look out for yourself, you can shop the exact barrel jeans below.
We the Free Good Luck Mid-Rise Barrel Jeans
The We the Free barrel jeans not only come in a variety of shades, but feature three lengths: short, regular and long. The brand recommends staying true to your size or sizing up, depending on how loose and baggy you want the denim to feel. It’s also designed using Free People’s most rigid denim, which means there won’t be a lot of stretch.
The barrel jeans have even been curvy-approved, with TikToker Brieana Banks claiming, “I’m convinced that a thick girl invented barrel jeans.”
If you’re already obsessed with the denim style or just want to add a few more to your rotation, we also rounded up similar styles from popular brands below.
Which Are the Best Barrel Jeans?
To help you build out your trendy jeans collection, keep reading to find some of the top-rated and bestselling barrel jeans online now.
AE77 Premium Barrel Jean
American Eagle’s barrel jean comes in two washes — dark and light — so you can show off the look year-round. The denim features a mid-rise fit made using a more rigid denim that comes from the brand’s sustainable fashion line. The rinse was also created to look vintage-like for a more retro appearance.
ELOQUII Plus Size The Barrel Jean
Target’s plus-size barrel jeans give off a more ’90s look with the classic medium blue wash that’s slightly faded in the center of the legs. There is a high-rise fit that sits above your waist, and features a mid-stretch material that will loosen slightly with more wear to give off a more worn-in feel.
Pilcro Heritage Curve Mid-Rise Barrel Jeans
Anthropologie wasn’t messing around with its version of the famous barrel jean. The company provide four different fits to choose from — petite, regular, tall and plus — to help you get the most comfortable look. Plus, it has a lower rise and two vintage-inspired washes to choose from.
Loose Barrel Baggy Jeans
Walmart’s barrel jeans embrace a laid-back look with a baggy style and low-rise waist. If you’re looking outside of the classic denim blue look, these jeans come in a range of washes, including this versatile khaki shade you can dress up or down.
Barrel Jeans
Garage offers a slightly less exaggerated barrel jean look, which still has the famous horseshoe shape — just not as wide — to give off more of a skater appearance. You can also take advantage of the five-pocket styling and cotton material that’ll get softer with every wash.
GREAIDEA Mid Rise Barrel Jeans
Amazon is keeping things crisp with these white barrel jeans you can wear to brunch or drinks with friends. The shade makes it easy to dress down with a crop top or pair it with a blouse for a dressier feel. Since it features a low-rise waist, it creates a more relaxed vibe, while the pockets in the front and back allow you to store small essentials such as your phone and cash.
What Are Barrel Jeans?
While TikTok has been labeling the jeans “barrel,” the style is known by a couple other names, including “balloon” and “horseshoe” jeans. What sets it apart from the classic wide-leg jean is the fact that the design flares out at the thighs and tapers off by the ankles. This gives it that rounded shape similar to a barrel.
Are Barrel Jeans in for 2024?
Barrel jeans have been going viral all over social media for months now, making it clear that the look isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. Though it has the fashion community theorizing the best way to style the denim look, that hasn’t stopped people from clamoring to stock up on as many styles as possible.

For the past few years many celebrities and people you may even know have decided to switch up their daily diets and go on a vegan only way of life. While that bares little to no consequences on their professional lives, hot dog eating legend Joey Chestnut’s decision to eat vegan led to his termination from his “job” of competitively eating hot dogs.
According to the New York Post, the reigning hot dog eating champion was told he will not be allowed to compete at this years Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest in Coney Island after he signed a deal with plant-based food brand, Impossible Foods. With Impossible Foods sponsoring the man who once gobbled 76 glizzies in a single 10-minute sitting, the higher-ups over at Nathan’s lowkey felt betrayed by Chestnut’s latest venture. Though they haven’t blatantly “banned” him from the contest, they basically banned him from competing at this year’s event.
The New York Post reports:
A rep for Major League Eating (MLE), which Nathan’s sanctions to run the event, said the organizers bent over backwards to meet Chestnut’s various other demands.
They even agreed to let him participate in a rival Labor Day dog-eating fest to be taped for TV as long as no hot dog brand was mentioned.
But they said they drew the line on letting Chestnut pitch for a different hot dog brand.
A source said Chestnut was paid $200,000 to appear in the Nathan’s contest last year, and was offered a $1.2 million, four-year contract going forward.
“The two sides could still come to a resolution before July 4, but it depends on Joey,” an insider said.
“He’s the Michael Jordan of competitive eating. But imagine if Michael Jordan said to Nike, ‘I love being the face of Nike but I want to do commercials for Adidas too,” the source said.
You know you’re that dude when someone says you’re the Michael Jordan of whatever you do even if that thing is gobbling glizzies. We wonder if there’s a porn star out there considered the Joey Chestnut of the industry. We’re not going to look into that though.
Following the news of his ouster of this year’s competition, Joey Chestnut took to Instagram to voice his displeasure over the decision and called out Nathan’s over his business decision saying, “To set the record straight, I do not have a contract with MLE or Nathan’s and they are looking to change the rules from past years as it relates to other partners I can work with. This is apparently the basis on which I’m being banned, and it doesn’t impact the July 4th contest.”
At the end of the day, only the fans will suffer from this decision.
What do y’all think of Nathan’s Famous barring Joey Chestnut from this year’s hot dog eating contest? Fair or foul? Let us know in the comments section below.

Camila Cabello came to The Tonight Show to play on Wednesday night (June 12), with robot dogs, ice cold stories and killer dance moves. In addition to performing her frenetic single “I Luv It” with help from blindfolded dancers, Cabello talked about her upcoming album, C, XOXO (June 28)) played a new game with host Jimmy Fallon and cleared up some rumors about her viral frozen Met Gala purse.
Cabello and Fallon reminisced about running into each other at the annual fashion fantasia earlier this year and the singer admitted that by the time she saw Jimmy she was “very drunk” because she was so stressed from what happened earlier. Fallon then pulled out a picture of Cabello’s purse from that night, which consisted of a rose frozen in a block of ice.
“I didn’t think about the fact that ice, very quickly, melts,” Cabello said. “And so I get there and it’s my worst, the nightmare situation where suddenly the clutch breaks. I think it was Ed Sheeran was there he was telling a joke or something and somebody accidentally moved it and before I get my picture taken the clutch completely breaks.”
Trending on Billboard
Cabello described being surrounded by shocked A-listers including poet Amanda Gorman, actress Rachel Sennott and model Kaia Gerber, who all gasped when the purse’s straps broke off. “This is the thing you least want to happen — a bunch of famous people looking at you having a breakdown during the line before you take your picture at the Met Gala!” So Camila said she turned to Gerber and a few others for advice, landing on the solution of converting it into a (very slippery) clutch instead.
Fallon then assured Cabello that she was “glamorously” holding the block of ice, putting up a picture of a stone-faced Camila cradling the drippy purse. Also, for the record, she threw cold water on the viral report that her purse cost $25,000. “Guys! It’s water frozen!” she yelled. “You can make it at home!”
Cabello also explained her fourth album’s title, saying the new collection is a chapter in her life that feels “personal to me and authentic to me and like signed by me. Like writing a letter to someone. This is me, like it or not.” When Jimmy asked Cabello about her writing process, after noting that she has no co-writers on this album, Cabello gave an example of her skills by busting out her phone to sing a tune she wrote for the show on her way to the studio.
The voice note featured Cabello humming lightly while she sang, “New suit, same chair, new dress, blonde hair/ We’ve seen each other through some phases/ Past lives, debuts, Met Ball, saw you/ Good to have a friend in scary places/ Jimmy-a, Jimmy-a, Jimmy alright/ They came for a show well Jimmy alright/ It’s another late night/ It’s another late night talkin’,” as an astonished Fallon looked on.
The singer came back for a round of the new game Dance Charades, in which one player wore headphones and danced to a song whose title the other player had to guess. Cabello proved to be quite adept at the game, acting out Olivia Rodrigo’s “Vampire” while pretending to bite her arm as Fallon shimmied awkwardly to Shakira’s “Hips Don’t Lie.”
Cabello came back one more time to sing “I Luv It,” the first single from her follow-up to her 2022 LP Familia, which features guest spots from Drake, Lil Nas X, Playboi Carti and City Girls. The set opened with Cabello in a silver dress, baggy leather gloves and a black blindfold with white x’s over her eyes — a spooky look her four dancers mirrored — in the high-energy performance that featured her back-up crew holding a pair of dancing Unitree robot dogs on leashes as giant fans sent their strappy costumes flying.
