Wide-legged jeans are your new best fashion friend. Here’s how to make them work for any occasion without breaking the bank.

Wide-legged pants might not seem like the most flattering choice at first glance, but hear us out – they’re actually one of the most versatile, comfortable and stylish pieces you can own. Whether you’re dressing up for work, heading out for brunch or just running errands, they create a polished silhouette while offering all-day comfort.

Here are some looks that prove that wide-legged pants deserve a spot in your wardrobe.

1. Chill vibes: Sneakers & tee 

There is no doubt that the classic white shirt would win first prize every time in a competition for most versatile garment. So, it’s no surprise that the white button-up is the perfect workwear staple. Take your pick from a cropped shirt with high-waisted pants or an oversized shirt layered over a tank top – and wear it on repeat!

2. Look sharp: Blazer for work

Owning a shirt dress can really help take the guesswork out of your morning. It’s elegant and laid back at the same time, making this polished throw-on-and-go outfit the perfect choice for the office. Dress it up with some sling-back heels and statement jewellery or keep it casual with flat sandals and a tote bag.

3. Stay cool: Crop top for summer

Still dreaming of being on holiday? While wide-legged pants are the perfect fit for long lazy summer lunches with friends, they’re versatile enough to wear to the office as well. Wear these stylish (and oh-so-comfy) pants with a shirt or a tank top and heels for an effortlessly cool look. Want to make it more business? An oversized blazer is the perfect addition to this corporate-chic look.
