9 STYLISH WAYS TO WEAR WIDE-LEG PANTS

I don’t know about you, but I’m loving all the different silhouettes in fashion right now—especially when it comes to pants! Joggers have become a must-have, full-length trousers are having their moment, and the variety of denim cuts, from mom jeans to straight-leg to wide-leg, is endless.

I recently made a pair of green wide-leg pants using this pattern and fabric. It was a pretty simple project, and I’m thrilled with the result! Not only are the pants super comfy, but they also add an interesting touch to my wardrobe. Incorporating them into my outfits has been effortless and fun. Some looks are more casual, while others are a bit more polished. Here’s how I’ve been styling my wide-leg pants this season!

Denim Jacket + Pants + Slip-On Sneakers

This outfit combo feels laid-back and cool. Popping on some sunglasses would have really completed the vibe—ha! The oversized, black washed denim jacket and checkered slip-on sneakers give it a relaxed, lived-in, and youthful feel.

White Button-Up Shirt + Pants + Ankle Boots

This might be an everyday look for some, but for me, it’s a bit more elevated. The combination of this top and wide-leg pants creates an effortless yet polished vibe. You could easily swap the boots for sandals or mules to turn this into a perfect spring outfit.

Blouse + Wide Leg Pants + High Top Sneakers

This outfit feels very “me.” I love wearing sneakers, and my favorite tops always have some feminine detail. Here, I’m wearing a slightly puffed, balloon-sleeve top. I added the cognac bag to bring in a warm tone, and I absolutely love how it completes the look.

Crewneck Sweater + Pants + White Sneakers

This one feels the most laid-back of the bunch. It’s the perfect outfit for running errands and still looks effortlessly stylish. I love it as is, but you could also elevate it by adding a top layer like a denim jacket or a moto jacket for extra flair.

Black Turtleneck Sweater + Wide Leg Pants + Ankle Boots

This outfit is incredibly comfortable—cozy yet put-together, which is the perfect combination I’m loving these days. With its color-block feel, it’s a great choice for an everyday look that still feels stylish.

Sweater + Wide Leg Pants + Combat Boots

Every once in a while, you just need a fun color combo, and this outfit delivers. I paired a pink sweater with olive pants, but kept it grounded with black shoes and accessories. Adding a black jacket would really pull the whole look together too.

Cardigan Sweater + Wide Leg Pants + Mary Janes

For this outfit, I grabbed my most-worn cardigan sweater, buttoned it up, and wore it as a top. I paired it with my favorite mary jane shoes (a style I’ve been loving lately) and a classic black bag. It’s a super comfortable, everyday look that still feels put-together.

Blazer + Wide Leg Pants + Mules

This one is my favorite. If you’ve been following me for a while, you probably already know how much I love pairing blazers with everything! (Check out this post and this one for proof!) Here, I’m wearing bone mules and a white tank, which gives the pant-and-jacket combo a more spring-ready vibe. This look strikes the perfect balance between tailored and laid-back.

Chore Coat + Pants + Mules

This last look is definitely giving me spring vibes! I love the subtle purple of the tank paired with the olive green pants. The bone mules add a fresh touch, giving the outfit a light, spring-ready feel.

In conclusion, wide-leg pants are a versatile and stylish piece that can be easily incorporated into various outfits, whether casual or more polished. From laid-back looks with sneakers to elevated pairings with blazers or mules, these pants offer endless styling options that can be adapted for any season. Whether you’re opting for a cozy vibe, a pop of color, or a fresh spring ensemble, wide-leg pants are a perfect way to add comfort and flair to your wardrobe.

STYLISH WORKWEAR: FALL BOOTS EDITION

Over the next few posts, I’ll focus on different styles of boots, showcasing various ways to style them while addressing your most common questions. First up: what boots should I wear to work?

Black Pants

For the first two outfits, I chose a pair of bootcut pants from Ann Taylor. I purchased these pants last year and have loved them ever since; they fit true to size and offer a perfect petite length. In one outfit, I styled them with a layered cardigan, while in the other, I paired them with a stunning petite-friendly coat from Banana Republic Factory.
