Skinny jeans are a thing of the past now that wide-leg pants are dominating current fashion trends. You can dress up wide leg pants for work, evening events, or a night at the club. You can also dress down with wide-leg jeans for superbly comfortable weekend wear or running errands around town. Chic, fun, and available in a wide variety of fabrics, wide-leg pants are appropriate for every setting. 

Business Casual

Wide-leg pants that have a higher waistline create a more tailored and formal look. You can pair high waisted, wide-leg pants with a preppy cardigan for a classy, feminine, and cute business casual work look. If you want to be adventurous, try pairing your wide-leg pants with a simple black top and a leopard print cardigan. Simple accessories and pointed-toe shoes elevate your look to classy business casual attire. For a slightly more formal look, crush that big meeting with confidence when you’re wearing a matching chic suit with extra wide-leg trousers.

Weekend Casual

The only thing more comfortable than a soft pull over sweater is one with wide-leg pants. One of the easiest ways to create a casual but stylish weekend look is to pair your favourite wide-leg jeans with a cozy pull over sweater. Try tucking in the front of your sweater for a trendy asymmetrical look that also accentuates your waistline. 

During warmer months, try pairing wide-leg pants made of light, flowing cotton or knits with a tank top and sandals for a cool and airy outfit. Wide leg jeans and graphic tees are meant for each other, so express your personality by pairing the two together.

Night Out

For a fun look when spending the evening out, try retro-inspired wide-leg denim with a lower waistline. Another excellent look is bright white wide-leg pants paired with a contrasting tank top and sandals. Always in style and comfortable for all seasons, try adding a denim jacket to your outfit. Or, you can add a stylish cropped jacket to stay warm and make your waistline look smaller. Oversized boyfriend blazers are another hot outerwear item this season that can elevate your outfit for an evening out. 

Glam

When it’s time to look super glam, wide-leg pants in leather are the way to go. Don’t forget to style wide-leg pants with heels. For the perfect fit, make sure the hem of your pants just brush the ground. Try pairing your wide-leg leather pants with a strapless tube top or delicate camisole for an effortless, minimalist, yet ultra-feminine look. You’ll be ready for the hottest party in town when topping your outfit off with a faux fur coat.

Classy and feminine, wide-leg pants are flattering on every body type and give the illusion of an hourglass silhouette. They balance out hips and elongate legs for a wardrobe staple every woman should own. Whether your goal is business casual or full glam, there’s a fashion forward way to revamp your look with wide-leg pants.
