Different jean washes are great, but what about fun colors? Especially as we head into spring and summer, jeans in bright or unique colors are fun items to base an outfit on. And even if they’re a regular jean color, if you have wide–leg or palazzo-style pants, you can have just as much fun. Luckily, Target has two new jeans that not only fit both of those stand-out requirements but also look like a much more expensive version at Anthropologie.
One of these pants—Women's High-Rise Sailor Wide Leg Ankle Jeans—are from Target’s women’s clothing brand and currently $28. Even though they’re called “sailor” jeans, they’re pretty standard high-rise wide-leg jeans with a slight crop. They’re made with a cotton denim fabric that has a bit of stretch. Most are made with 99% cotton and 1% spandex to achieve this, while the gray wash has 20% polyester in the mix.

They originally came in eight colors, but the navy is currently sold out. The other colors—black, cream, gray wash, khaki, olive green, pink and white—come in sizes ranging from 00 to 30. And people are obsessed with these particular pants. One user wrote, "Perfect pants for spring" in their review and another wrote that they are a “flattering fit” and “a perfect spring/summer cut.”
"I own these pants in pink, beige, and now black!” they gushed in their review. “Women at the office went nuts the first time I wore them and rushed out to get a pair."
Another person wrote that people should, “Get these pants."
"Absolutely love these pants, they have a great fit, lay wonderfully on the body," they also wrote.

Women's High-Rise Wide Leg Jeans - Universal Thread, $36 at Target
Another similar style is Universal Thread’s Women's High-Rise Wide Leg Jeans. They’re a bit more expensive at $36 and they come in four washes: black wash, light wash, medium wash and white. They’re also made with a stretchy cotton fabric that has five pockets. These are also full-length. One reviewer wrote that they, “Absolutely love these jeans!”
“...They fit [perfectly]!” they finished. “Bought all the other colors!"
A running theme here seems to be that you might love them so much you’ll want more than one pair. As the popular shopping Instagram account, @best.of.target, posted, these two jeans are “Anthropologie lookalikes caught at Target.”
“Guys this is a need for anyone looking for a jean that’s just a little higher-end looking [...]!! Getting them [all].”

And they do make a good point. Anthropologie sells a similar style of jeans with the Good American Good Waist Palazzo Crop Wide-Leg Jeans ($149). These might feel closer to the gray wash in the sailor jeans because they’re made with 69% cotton, 30% lyocell and 1% elastane fabric. Anthro also sells The Colette Cropped Wide-Leg Pants by Maeve ($120) among other palazzo-style, wide-leg pants.
Target continues to make high-end-looking items for an affordable price, and Universal Thread’s Women's High-Rise Sailor Wide Leg Ankle Jeans are no different. And with their 287 reviews and 4-star rating, more colors and sizes might start selling out soon.
