How to Style Wide Leg Jeans in 2025-The Definitive Guide
Why Wide Leg Jeans Are Having a MOMENT
I don't know about you but I am so here for the resurgence of wide-leg jeans these past few years. Having been raised on flare jeans, then transitioning right into the skinny jeans era- I am beyond grateful for this baggier and honestly comfier jean option! And with the wide leg jeans, came also the acceptance of wide-leg pants in general, which we love for us as a great option and alternative to jeans.
So today, I am sharing what to wear with wide leg jeans along with a variety of cute outfit ideas and styling tips that will fit your own personal style!
Outfit 1: The Classic Look—Wide-Leg Jeans with Ankle Boots and Trench Coat
For this look I paired wide leg jeans with ankle boots and a trench coat for a classic, polished look. Always make sure you consider the length of the jeans for the perfect fit when pairing with booties. You don't want the wide-leg style you choose to be too long that you can't see the boot! Skip the full-length wide-leg jeans and opt for a boot cut / cropped fit.
Outfit 2: Chic & Easy—Wide Jeans with a Sweater Vest
Love this lighter wash denim that works well for warmer months and colder months. Paired with a chic sweater vest and ballet flats and you are instantly styled. For a more fresh summer look you could choose a top with a brighter pop of color and pair with strappy sandals instead. Just goes to how how versatile wide leg jeans can be!
Outfit 3: Classy Casual—Wide-Leg Jeans with a Tailored Blazer and Birkenstocks
Loved creating a more polished look with wide-leg jeans by pairing them with a tailored blazer and birkenstocks. You could also pair this with kitten heels or loafers and make it more office appropriate!
Outfit 4: Casual Cool—Wide-Leg Jeans with Chunky Knit and Ballet Flats
For cooler days, I love styling wide-leg jeans with a chunky knit for a cozy and stylish way to stay warm. This look so chic with these mesh leopard ballet flats but would also work with a pair of ankle boots or sneakers.
Outfit 5: Night Out Vibes—High-Rise Wide-Leg Jeans with a Cropped Jacket or Cropped Top
I love how high-rise wide-leg jeans pair perfectly with a cropped jacket or cropped top for a laid-back look. This fun twist of the cargo jeans trend popped up some time last year and really is gaining speed now. This would look so cute for a date night outfit in the Fall or Winter too.
Outfit 6: Laidback Style—Flannel and Blue Jeans
This look is casual but cool with a flannel over a more fitted top paired with these wide leg jeans. Western style is taking over right now, but this also totally works a fun country concert outfit idea too!
Outfit 7: White Wide-Leg Jeans Look
Can't forget about white jeans! And no, they're not just for the summer and warmer weather. This is one of my go-to outfits for the Fall, and proof that white wide-leg denim is the perfect base for a chic Fall look.
Outift 8: All Black Chic— Monochrome Look With Black Wide-Leg Jeans
Moving on from white, let's talk black jeans too! Black jeans with wide leg silhouettes are for sure a great closet staple to have. I love creating a monochrome moment in all black, but black is a neutral and pairs well with colors too!
Outfit 9: Trend Highlight—Leopard Jeans
A trend that has blown up in recent years is a leopard print jean in a high-rise, and relaxed fit option. Leopard comes and goes in the trend cycle, but I am loving this iteration in a leopard wider leg option like wide leg denim and baggy jeans.
Outfit 10: Weekend Vibes—Wide-Leg Jeans with a Striped Sweater
Obsessed with this look and would need to definitely resist the millennial urge to french tuck that sweater into those high rise jeans. But this is a classic casual outfit idea you can rock that is giving weekend vibes for sure.
Outfit 11: Trend Alert—Barrel Jeans
Okay so a fun twist on the wide-leg jean is the recent trend of the barrel style jeans. These are very hit or miss for some people, and definitely can see this being a more "in the moment" trend than a closet staple. But this look is super fun and would make for a fun date night or out to dinner outfit idea!
Outfit 12: Trendy, Simple, Casual—Wide-Leg Jeans with a Quilted Coat and Tie Front Top
This is an easy outfit that feels like elevated basics. Love the tie front sweater trend and pairing it with the jeans, ugg slippers and a quilted coat pulls it all together as an effortlessly chic casual look.
Outfit 13: Denim on Denim—Tie Front Denim Top with Wide-Leg Denim Jeans
The denim on denim trend is one of my favorites, and this tie front denim top was begging to be styled! Such a classic look with a modern twist.
Outfit 14: White Jeans Part 2—White Wide-Leg Jeans with a Cropped Sweater
Another fun way to style your white wide-leg jeans. These high-rise jeans look so chic but cozy with a maroon sweater and ugg slippers. Proof again that you don't have to tuck your white jeans away after Labor Day!
Outfit 15: Black Jeans Part 2—Black Wide-Leg Jeans with Ballet Flats and Coatigan
A neutral and chic way to style your black wide-leg pants is with cozy layers and mesh ballet flats in a leopard print. Love this as a chic, casual look that also works well for a casual day at the office.
Outfit 16: Cozy Chic—Wider Leg Jeans With A Long Wool Coat and Comfy Clogs
The Ugg Goldenstar is such a fun slipper meets clog so I had to style them up with this cardigan, coat and of course these baggy jeans!
Outfit 17: Feminine But Casual—Striped Sweater with Wide-Leg Jeans
This is a fun casual outfit idea on it's own, but adding the hair bow just takes it to the next level. And yes I have a serious crush on this sweater, hence why I styled it twice!
Outfit 18: Edgy & Chic—Wide Jeans with a Leather Trench and Black Ankle Boots
Love this look when you want that edgy vibe, but you still like to keep it pretty classic and casual. The black booties and leather trench along with the slight distressing of the wider leg jeans give it a little something more than just a basic look would.
Outfit 19: A Pop Of Burgundy—Wide-Leg Jeans With a Denim Shirt and Burgundy Tote
I love doing a pop of color with your bag and I also love the low key pop of pattern with this all denim look. Such a chic and fun way to elevate an otherwise simple outfit idea.
