While skinny jeans will always be a beloved wardrobe staple for me (sorry, not sorry, Gen Z!), I can’t deny the fact that wide-leg jeans have become the go-to denim in recent seasons, and it’s easy to see why. These styles offer a comfy, loose, and high-rise fit that—despite the fact that they’re jeans—look and feel effortless. (Think: Sweatpants, but elevated.)
There are a ton of wide-leg jeans on the market: From over-the-top flared denim to more subtle silhouettes, these versatile jeans can easily be dressed up or down depending on the occasion. Ahead, see nine of our favorite looks that put wide-leg jeans front and center.
