How To Wear Wide Leg Jeans

This blog post is in partnership with Sézane.

Skinny jeans are out and wide leg jeans are in! I’m kidding, don’t yell at me. The youths are making fun of us for skinny jeans, and trust me I am definitely not giving mine up, but I do love how many denim options there are right now. When I saw this pair of wide leg jeans at Sézane I knew I had to try them. They’re kind of the perfect mix between straight leg jeans, flare leg jeans and wide leg jeans. I really like them for winter too because I can wear a thick long sock underneath to keep me warm.

Wide leg denim is more of a trouser style jean with a wider leg and mid to high rise. They tend to be full length or long, though there are some cute cropped styles too. What I love about this pair from Sézane is that it’s kind of the perfect mix of straight, flare and wide, and they look so chic styled a variety of ways. They are also made with 100% organic cotton! If you’re thinking about expanding your denim collection and looking to try a new style, read on for some tips on how to wear wide leg jeans this winter.

How To Wear Wide Leg Jeans

For Work (Business Casual)

If jeans are appropriate at your office, wide leg jeans are a great style to try for business casual. I’d stay away with anything that has distressing and stick with something in a darker wash. I love a classic blazer in navy with a simple white tee or button down. If the hem hits at the ankle go with a flat or low heeled pump. If the hem is longer go with a heeled bootie. So chic!

outfit idea

• Wide Legged Jeans
• Low Heeled Bootie
• White Tee or Button Down
• Blazer or Long Wool Coat

For The Weekend

Anything is fair game on the weekend right? I’m usually pretty casual on the weekend so I’d go with wide legged jeans, a cozy knit sweater, sweatshirt or striped breton and sneakers or a heeled clog (these wool lined clogs from Sézane are so cozy). Pair with a big tote and if it’s chilly add a wool jacket and a beanie.

Outfit Idea

• Wide Leg Jeans (cuff them at the ankle)
• Knit Sweater or Mariniere
• Wool Jacket
• Clogs
• Straw Bag

For Date Night or A Special Occasion

If you don’t feel like wearing a dress but still want to get dressed up, wide leg jeans are such a good option. Pair with a romantic blouse or fitted top and add heels or booties. Accessorize with fun jewelry and a chic statement bag.

Outfit Idea

• Wide Leg Jeans
• Pumps or a Heeled Bootie
• Fitted Top or Blouse
• Long Wool Coat
• Chic Bag
• Accessorize with jewelry

for the holidays

I think I have my Thanksgiving outfit sorted. We’re staying home and cooking so I’m planning on wearing a cozy sweater with wide legged jeans cuffed and cozy slippers. If you’re going to a dinner or a restaurant you could do something a little more dressed up and wear a heeled bootie and a chic long wool coat.

Outfit Idea

• Wide Leg Jeans (if at home cuff them and wear with cozy slippers; if going out wear with a bootie)
• Cozy Sweater
• Put hair in a ponytail or bun and style with a scarf
