Wide Leg Jeans: 12 Styles We Love

Posted by Lauren | Friday February 18, 20117 comments
The wide leg jean will always be your friend - they slim your thighs, look great with flats, wedges, and heels and they always seem to fit (even on your 'fat' days). The Spring/Summer 2011 runway featured both light and dark washes, high and low-rise waists. Badgley Mischka deserves special mention for creating the perfect work casual look that can be worn from the office straight to the park.

When you are looking for the perfect jean it's always important to dress to your figure. The wide leg jean is great because the looser fit works for most shapes--you just need to make sure the cut skims you in all the right areas.

Thank god wide legs are back!! I really do not like skinny jeans - they don't work on me or for me.

Bardgley Mischka is by far my favourite in this category - I love the whole look! Usually a full top with wide pants and big hair would look baggy or too much but the model looks fantastic!

I'm also a fan of the simple Derek Lan look - it's a beautiful silhouette

I also adore BM's take on this look. It stood out to me right away when I first saw the pictures in the post show recaps. I'm a fan of wide legs - the skinnies never really worked for my body type.
