After so long being confined to skinnies, it seems skinny jeans are finally stepping out of the fashion world. Therefore, the demand nowadays is exactly to move from skin-tight to more spacious garments that allow us to breathe like “Wide Leg Pants”.
As their name suggests, wide legs are broad through the leg silhouette because they offer ample room for your legs to spread. Wide-leg pants are all the rage, thanks to ’70s fashion & y2k aesthetics, now making a major comeback.
Skinny jeans not only restrict movement but also irritate. However, since comfort is something everyone should have. Therefore wear clothing that allows you to feel confident and in your skin. Wide-leg pants offer room and movement more than skinny jeans can.
With proper styling, a pair of wide-leg trousers can be as comfortable to wear and look just effortlessly chic. When we talk about wide-leg pants, there are too many to choose from like jeans, trousers, palazzo, and culottes.
They can be styled in bold prints and vibrant colors on lightweight fabrics which makes them perfect for vacation or resort wear. These are formal or smart casual pants that you must own for wearing to work, a pub quiz (once it is safe), or even at a wedding.
Wide leg pants trend is taken to the extreme with palazzo pants and their over-the-top dramatic, flowy silhouette. Culottes are similar to an A-line skirt that has been chopped at the knee or calf and has wide legs. Gauchos on the other hand are also a cropped wide-leg style. They resemble culottes but have slightly less exaggerated fullness through the legs.
Trousers are usually high-waisted and your trousers fall straight from the hip. The uniquely shaped pants aren’t to be confused with bell bottoms or flared pants, which fit closely through the knee and calf before vastly opening up.
The wide-leg trousers look great on just about every body type, it’s all in how rightly fitting one you choose. Opt for high-waisted styles to elongate your legs and create a model-off-duty illusion, all while making sure that the wide-leg pants are extending you rather than closing in on height.
