Whether you’re a minimalist with a capsule wardrobe filled with classic white T-shirts, or you want to go big (and never go home), we uncovered the seven refreshing ways to style wide-leg jeans. From chic everyday looks that you can recreate with your closet staples to style-forward ensembles that look just as appropriate on the runway as they do in your office’s hallway, here are the seven best ways to wear wide-leg jeans.

Lace and Leather Layers

We’re leaning into lace in all forms, but particularly when combined with classic materials like denim and leather. Pair a hip-length camisole with your wide-leg jeans and throw a motorcycle jacket on top. These minimal pieces come together to create an outfit that can be updated for every season.

Keep It Cozy

The best reason to invest in wide-leg jeans? The ultimate comfort they provide. Keep things cozy by pairing your jeans with a graphic T-shirt and an oversized tote bag to stash all your must-haves. For the rest of your accessories, a pointed-toe shoe and simple sunglasses keep the outfit grounded.

Double the Trouble

Double-waistband jeans are a great way to update your current denim selection without straying from comfortable silhouettes. Keep the layers coming, with double belts, cardigans over tanks, and maybe even a sweater tied around your waist for extra emphasis.

High Rise, Short Top

While we aren’t saying goodbye to low-rise denim just yet, a high-rise pair currently has our hearts. Revisit your crop top era to emphasize the leg-lengthening effect of these jeans, and top the entire ensemble off with a classic suede jacket that you can wear in both winter and spring.

Double Denim

A double denim outfit is a surefire way to feel put-together even while wearing your most basic pieces. When styling wide-leg jeans, find a denim jacket that has a cinching detail around the waist to avoid feeling overwhelmed by fabric. Opt for mini accessories like a crossbody bag and delicate sunglasses to keep the rest of your outfit pared-down.

Classic Capsule

As we inch our way towards spring, layering is essential for transitional outfits. Your go-to capsule pieces come in handy here, whether you opt for a classic T-shirt, a trench coat, or all of the above. As you move throughout the day (and the weather continues to fluctuate) you can peel off layers and always look put-together.

Big Jeans, Bigger Jacket

During the bleakest winter months, a huge outer layer is essential. A long faux fur coat can do the trick, but if you want to show off your jeans, opt for a cropped coat instead. With such a big statement piece, keep the rest of the outfit minimal with warm layers and a mini bag to store your lipstick and keys.
