Styling Wide Leg Jeans

What Are We Wearing?

I'm having a lot of fun with this trend right now. Wide-leg denim is a flattering profile for all body types, and I highly recommend investing in a pair to work into your wardrobe for fabulous day-to-night versatility.

Great Lengths:

When styling your wide-leg denim, longer is better. Now I know this isn't for everyone, but while the trend is showcasing floor-skimming hemlines with chunky platforms - this combo does elongate the legs, and who doesn't love that?! Pair the DL1961 Hepburn Vintage Jeans with a bright-colored sweater or corduroy blazer for a retro vibe.

This trouser look by Nili Lotan featuring the Flora Trouser Jean dresses up a casual top and elevates a blouse with a cropped jacket and heels.

If you prefer a shorter hemline, opt for a sporty tennis sneaker or Chelsea boot for a Sunday brunch with friends. I love these Mother High Rise Hustler jeans in Mid-denim with a fitted top like this chenille beauty from Proenza Schouler for an effortlessly chic daytime look.

Most wide-leg denim cuts are a higher waistline, like the Alina High Rise Wide Leg Jeans from Victoria Beckham, so the focus straight goes to the pant. Choose a cropped top or sweater again, or try tucking your blouse, so it hits the waistline, accentuating your shape and balancing your look.
