Nothing like a little light-wash denim and fresh blooms to ring in spring, am I right? Well, Reese Witherspoon agrees. On March 20, the star took to Instagram to show off some gorgeous florals, along with a few new pieces from her latest Draper James collection. The post's caption read, "Spring is finally HERE! Time for sunshine, fresh blooms and cute new spring outfits"—and let's just say Witherspoon totally nailed it on that last front.

The actress posed in front of a long, blue and white tablescape dotted with vases of multicolored flowers, golden candlesticks and chic glassware. And while the setting was stunning, it was The Morning Show star's outfit that truly stole the show, featuring a short-sleeve sweater shirt with a sweet scalloped hem, white heels with ankle bows and, the pièce de résistance, the perfect pair of light-wash cuffed jeans, which I'm totally coveting for all those upcoming picnics and warm-weather outings. Though I haven't been able to track down the exact pair she's wearing, these Draper James straight-leg cuffed jeans ($78) from Witherspoon's own brand are a surefire lookalike—but there's more where those came from. Read ahead to shop similar light-wash, cuffed styles so you can be ready for when the temps hit that solid 65 degrees.

Featuring a cotton, polyester and 1 percent elastane blend, along with light distressing on the knees, these jeans are sure to have the perfect amount of stretch to become your new everyday go-tos. They have a 29-inch inseam un-cuffed, so when you flip the ends up, they'll be great even for petites.

These light indigo-wash jeans come in regular, tall and petite sizes, and are finished with the perfect cuff. Made with a '90s silhouette in mind, this 83 percent cotton-blend pair has a slim fit through the hip and thigh with just a tiny bit of stretch—they're supposed to look vintage, but are meant to feel like they fit you just right.

This mid-rise pair of Levi's jeans are made with high-quality selvedge denim and boast a loose, straight fit with some bagginess through the leg like a true find from the '90s. Be sure to measure accurately and follow the size guide as this 100 percent cotton pair has no stretch. Size down for a slimmer fit, or if you're looking for a less loose feel, try out the 501 Originals ($98), which you can also totally cuff up to your liking. 

If you're into capris and cropped pants, this (on-sale!) pair of Mother jeans is for you. With just a touch of stretch, this 96 percent cotton-blend style is made with a high rise and straight fit, and has an untacked cuff with a frayed hem that can be rolled down or up for versatile styling options. The faded light wash and exposed ankle just scream spring.

Mid-weight, high-rise, no-stretch denim? Sounds like the perfect pair to me! These 100 percent cotton jeans from Agolde are made with fading and whiskering techniques to create a distressed, lived-in look. They also feature a thick cuff and a baggier straight-leg silhouette than Witherspoon's style, though I'd argue their vibes are equally as "A-lister off-duty." Just be warned, this pick runs large, so take a look at the sizing chart for guidance.
