How to Wear Women's Wide Leg Pants

Wide leg pants are all the rage this year. These are an easy-to-wear style that is comfortable, too. They can transition from the office to dinner out easily, so pick up a pair and where them wherever you go.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• Wide leg pants
• Oxfords
• Fitted shirt
• Blouse
• Vest
• Jacket
• Belt

1. Remember that all wide leg pants aren’t created equal. Try on different pairs to see how wide you want the legs to be on you.
2. Find pants that are fitted through the hips. This will keep your figure from getting lost in the fabric.
3. Tailor the waist of wide legged pants to fit well. This will avoid having it gap or hang down too low.
4. Shop for a wide legged style in a matte jersey fabric for a comfortable pair that will pack well.
5. Consider wool wide legged pants with a textured or smooth finish for the perfect stylish/classic mix.
6. Wear wide legged pants with a fitted top to emphasize your upper body and waist.
7. Change the look by adding a long, slim tunic that ties at the waist.
8. Slip on a cropped jacket with a longer shirt and wide legged pants for a work-appropriate look.
9. Opt for a silk blouse with chunky jewelry with wide pants for a cocktail party.
10. Add a vest to get a men’s-wear inspired look that is still feminine.
11. Try on wide legged pants with clunky wedge shoes or oxford-style pumps for a modern look.

Tips & Warnings

• Try slouchy wide leg pants for a trendy effect.
• Add a thick belt to wide leg pants to create an hourglass look.
• If you wear wide leg pants that have pleats in the front, check them in the mirror to make sure they don’t add pounds.
