The skinny jean is a classic, but sometimes, we want something more. Enter: the wide-leg pant. These underrated bottoms are the perfect fusion of practicality and style—which is just what we need this summer.
These pants may at times come with the struggle of “saggy ass,” but there are ways—nine, actually—to execute the look seamlessly. Below, check out some of our favorite plays on this relaxed fit.
Denim
When it comes to this trend, the length is key. A cropped cut can be restricting in style, and a longer hemline creates the illusion of height. Wear with a cropped cardigan and flatform boots for a causal-but-cool look.
Pajama-Style
An outfit you can wear both in- and outdoors. Statement pajamas are perfect for the couch (with wool socks) and for the party (with velvet platforms).
Office-Approved
Create a non-boring, SFW outfit by piling on prints. A striped blouse matched with a houndstooth coat is a refreshing way to stay in line with the corporate dress code.
VICTORIA BECKHAM
Wide-Leg Pants w/ Martingale Waist
The One-Piece Wonder
Take on the night with a wide-leg jumpsuit. An item like this calls for minimal styling: think a slingback heel and textured faux fur coat.
Loungewear
One thing Rihanna has in common with the rest of us? She loves comfy clothing. But, there’s a fine line between properly-executed loungewear and looking sloppy. Tie your cozy ensemble together with a fitted top, relaxed pants, and the epitome of comfort: UGG.
