How can I pull off wide-leg jeans?
See ya, skinnies. Wide-legged numbers were sent walking down all the spring runways this season, and we couldn’t be happier. (Finally, some breathing room!) Sure, this full-on volume silhouette takes some guts to wear, but we’ve picked our faves for you and provided tips to, uh, boot.
High-waisted flares create a super-fun ‘70s glam vibe for summer, especially in dark indigo. A wide-legged flared cut balances out curves (and makes legs look miles long!). We adore these stunners with a loose-fitting button-down and menswear belt. Don’t forget the wedges!
*Our tip: these babies should fall straight down to the floor, even in your tallest heels.

Yes, you can look sweet in floral wide length pants this season. Super-flattering when paired with a lacy blouse and skinny belt—show off that itty-bitty middle!
*Our tip: Wear these with some strappy espadrilles—the pants cuffs should hit the tops of your shoes.

Wide black pants are totally chic for a dressier occasion. Pair with a grey blazer and white blouse and simple flats for a polished look. Or play it cool: We love these linen pants with a flowy tank and strappy sandals. Kick it, girl.
*Our tip: if you’re going dressy, have the pants hemmed to hit just the tops of your flats so you don’t look like a slouch. Just hangin’ out? Keep the length and cuff ’em, if you feel like it.
