Looking for the best wide leg pants? I’ve rounded up my fashion finds for 2024 in this post.
What to Wear with Wide Leg Pants
Before we get into the best wide leg pants, let’s talk a bit about how to wear them.
With a looser, flowier style of pants, we want to balance the proportion. This requires something sleeker and more fitted on top. When styling your wide leg pants, try to pair them with:
- fitted t-shirts
- crop tops
- cropped jackets
- form-fitting shirts of any kind
If you don’t want to wear something tight or cropped, you can also try a top with a defined waist. Try a wrap top or a blouse with a slight peplum. As long as your shirt isn’t too long, it should work well with your wide-leg pants.
