Have your targeted ads have gone haywire since watching that viral Tik Tok of the Uniqlo pleated wide-leg trousers one too many times? If so, you’re in the right place.
Make way skinny cigarette trousers and tapered legs, for the wide-leg silhouette is officially in. See Harry Styles and Dakota Johnson for further reference if you must.
Wide-leg trousers are the perfect way to marry sleek tailoring with a flowy and comfortable shape in a manner that is fit for formal events, heading to the office, or those all-important after-work drinks. As always, it’s just about how you style them.
You might want to pair your favourite pair of gingham print wide-legs with a graphic tee for a I-stole-this-all-from-my-partner look. Or, if you’re more of a Blair than Serena, you might opt for an ultra-high-waisted pair and a silk blouse so you can embody Parisian chic. Add an over-sized headband to complete the outfit. You know you want to.
If you know you’re in the market for a pair of wide-leg wonders but haven’t a clue where to start - fret not. We have curated a selection of the best wide-leg trousers for women this season. Have a browse below.
