Wide leg jeans have officially taken over from skinny jeans as the go-to denim silhouette — and for good reason. High-rise wide leg jeans elongate your frame, balance out any top, and manage to feel both retro and completely current at the same time. If you've got a pair sitting in your closet (or you're eyeing one from our Denim collection), here are five ways to wear them for practically any occasion.
1. The Casual Weekend Look
Pair your wide leg jeans with a graphic tee and sneakers for an easy, no-fuss outfit that still looks put together. Tuck the tee in loosely to keep the proportions balanced — wide leg jeans have enough volume on the bottom, so you want a slimmer silhouette up top.
Try: A graphic tee + sneakers
2. Office-Casual
Swap the tee for a soft blouse and trade sneakers for mules to instantly elevate the look for work. A tucked-in blouse with a thin belt at the waist creates a polished silhouette while keeping the relaxed, comfortable feel of the denim.
3. Night Out
Wide leg jeans aren't just for daytime. Pair them with a fitted bodysuit and heels for a going-out look that trades the little black dress for something a little more unexpected — and a lot more comfortable.
Try: A fitted top + heeled sandals
4. Fall Layering
When temperatures drop, layer a cozy sweater over your wide leg jeans and finish with ankle boots. The wide silhouette on the bottom balances out the extra volume of a chunky knit up top.
Try: A cable knit sweater + ankle boots
5. Brunch Look
For brunch with friends, a puff sleeve top brings a feminine, romantic touch to the relaxed fit of wide leg denim. Add a crossbody bag to keep your hands free for mimosas.
Try: A puff sleeve top + crossbody pouch
However you style them, high-rise wide leg jeans are one of those pieces that work across your whole week — dress them up, dress them down, and they never feel like they're trying too hard.
