If there’s one denim style that’s making a major comeback—and refusing to leave—it’s the wide leg jean. And honestly? I’m not mad about it. These jeans (👆 peep the pair I’ve been loving lately!) are flattering, comfortable, and shockingly versatile. Whether you’re heading into the classroom, brunching with friends, or running errands, wide leg jeans are the chameleon of your wardrobe.
Let’s talk about a few ways to style them for different occasions and seasons. You might just be inspired to wear them on repeat!
1. Casual & Cool: Weekend Errands Vibe
Pair your wide leg jeans with a fitted graphic tee, a casual blouse, sneakers, mules or sandals for an effortless look. This combo is perfect for Saturdays spent running around town or grabbing coffee. Toss on a trench or denim jacket when it’s chilly out.
🛍 Style Tip: A front tuck or knot in your top will define your waist and balance the volume of the jeans.
2. Elevated Everyday: Teacher-Friendly Outfit
Tank | Cardigan | Jeans | Belt | Mules
Tank | Cardigan | Slingbacks | Jeans
Swap out the tee for a lightweight blouse or button-down, and add comfy flats or loafers. This is the kind of outfit that works well in professional settings but still feels relaxed and easy. Bonus points if your top has a fun print or color—wide leg jeans love a little personality.
🍎 Style Tip: Add a colorful cardigan or structured blazer in the cooler months to layer up without losing shape.
3. Chic Night Out
Yes, you can dress up denim! Whether you’re going out for date night or dinner with the girls, these jeans will be the perfect option!
✨ Style Tip: Tuck in your top and go for a heel to elongate your legs and keep the silhouette polished.
4. Warm Weather Ease
Come summer, style these jeans with a cropped tee or tank, espadrilles or sandals, and your favorite hat. The relaxed fit keeps you cool while still looking intentional. These are great travel jeans too—easy to dress up or down on vacation.
🌞 Style Tip: A pair of sunglasses and layered gold jewelry can take this look from simple to stunning.
If you’ve been unsure about wide leg jeans, consider this your sign to give them a go. They’re surprisingly wearable, flattering on many body types, and offer a fresh break from the skinny jeans we’ve all been wearing for a decade.
Stay tuned to see how I style this exact pair multiple ways—because trust me, once you try them, you won’t want to take them off. 😉
