The skinny pant style has dominated the fashion marketplace for the past decade and while it's probably not going out of fashion any time soon, a new look has been gaining some recent attention. If you're over the skinny jean and you're looking to add a bit drama to your outfit, the wide leg style is the perfect answer.
Wide leg pants can be styled in numerous ways. Dress them up with a pair of heels and accessories or keep it casual with a simple tee and flats, the choice is yours! We have been looking to bloggers to get some inspiration on styling this trend and love their looks!
This style can seem a bit intimidating, especially if you're on the shorter side, but here are a few tips to help you style them and look great!
Proportions are Key - Since all of the volume is on your bottom half, wear a simple and slim fitting top.
Fit Matters - To avoid hiding your figure, the pants should hit at the top of your waist. This will give you a slim middle to balance out the volume of the pants and give the illusion of a longer leg.
Pay Attention to Length - Avoid overwhelming your entire look by making sure the length of your pant fits your body. For a cropped look, the bottom of the pant should hit just below your knee. For a full length look, it should hit a few inches off the ground as to not hide the shoe.
Few Things to Remember:
Don't: Try not to oversize. A wide leg does not necessarily mean the look is boxy or slouchy. Pick styles that are still flattering on your body and accentuate your figure.
Don't: To create a more polished look, don't choose a loose top since it will create more bulk and hide your waistline. The best thing to do is choose a top that you are able to tuck in.
Don't: Avoid bright colors with your wide leg outfit. Keep the tones neutral and chic, and let the wide leg pant be the statement of the outfit!
