Our styling team here at Princess Polly has created your go-to guide on how to style wide leg pants. From casual weekday ‘fits to iconic party looks, you’ll never run out of ideas after reading this. Let’s take a deep dive into what wide leg pants are and how you can style them to suit you.
What Are Wide Leg Pants?
Wide leg pants are exactly what they sound like – pants that have a wide, roomy fit through the leg. Unlike skinny jeans or fitted bottoms, wide leg pants have a relaxed feel and silhouette that flares out from the waist to the hem. From short cropped lengths to baggy, oversized styles, wide leg pants are the definition of versatile. Coming in a variety of comfortable fabrics: denim, linen, cosy knit materials, your wide leg pants will quickly become the bottoms you reach for when you need a cute yet comfortable look.
Types of Wide Leg Pants
Wide Leg Jeans
The classic staple on everyone’s wardrobe rotation. Wide leg jeans are perfect for when you’re keeping it casual but still want to feel put-together. Style them with an oversized tee and sneakers for an effortless everyday look or dress them up with a fitted shirt and heeled boots for a night out. Coming in high-waisted or low-rise fits, there’s a pair of wide leg jeans for every vibe.
Wide Leg Trousers
Think of wide leg trousers as step one in your cool girl playbook. Chic, elevated and ultra-cool, they’re the perfect option for a more tailored look. Ideal for workwear or more formal occasions, wide leg trousers pair well with everything from blazers and button-up shirts to crops and graphic tees.
Wide Leg Leather Pants
If you live to leave a lasting impression, wide leg leather pants will quickly become your new fave bottoms. They effortlessly add an edgy feel to any look in seconds. Grab your go-to heeled boots, a graphic tee and an oversized bomber jacket to complete your look. If you have any concert or festival plans coming up, your wide leg leather pants have got you covered there too.
Wide Leg Statement Pants
If your weekend plans call for something more bold, we recommend ditching the casual jeans and opting for pants with fun colours and eye-catching prints. Striped wide leg pants are our current obsession. A few of our faves come in matching sets too! Reach for these when you have seconds to get ready but still want to make a statement.
Wide Leg Linen Pants
Wide leg linen pants are our go-to pick for the warmer seasons or for when you’re wanting a more relaxed, breathable outfit. Lightweight, airy, and effortless, linen pants are perfect for beach days, brunch dates and casual weekends. Style them with a cute oversized shirt, a bikini top and your fave accessories.
