Happy Fri-YAY!! I’m so sorry this week has been a bit busier than I was expecting but I am super excited to share one of my favorite looks and talk all about a trend that I’ve been majorly crushing on: wide-leg pants. Wide-leg pants are making a comeback big time right now and if you’ve never liked skinny jeans, this style is for you!! This is a style that’s ideal if you’re pear-shaped or more bottom heavy, but I personally just love it as a way to switch up my style! Don’t ask me why, but without fail, wide-leg pants also have the instant effect of elevating your look!. I picked up this white pair 2 years ago and have loved that they’ve become a classic that I’ve been pulling out year after year. But, if not styled properly, it is easy to get lost in all the fabric of wide-leg pants (especially if you’re petite!). I’m sharing my tips on how to pull off the wide-leg pant style so that you’ll want to pick up a few extra pairs to add to you rotation (I’m sharing a few that are on sale right now!).
Wide-Leg Pants Accentuate The Waist
Wide-leg pants are, of course, big and wide, so if you don’t highlight that waistline, it’s easy to end up looking like a giant rectangle. It can have the result of making your outfit look too masculine. You want to make sure to create some feminine curves so take a belt, tuck in that shirt, and create a more hourglass shape by cinching it in at the waist!
Add Height With Heels
Wide-leg pants give the illusion of legs for dayssss, which for someone that’s only 5′ tall is a dream! Take advantage and pair these pants with a cute pair of heels to really help elongate your lower half.
It’s All About Balance
To counter the broad silhouette of wide-leg pants, a tip that always works is pairing it with a top that’s slim and fitted. I love the style with sleeveless tops but other favorites include crop tops, off-shoulder tops, or even a structured button down!
Go Monochrome
I mentioned it in my last post, but when all else fails, don’t forget the power of a monochromatic outfit! Wearing a single color does wonders for making you look taller and instantly has that put-together vibe! It’s a great opportunity to play with textures, fabrics and fun details!

I’ve been looking to add more wide-leg pants to my closet and recently had a friend recommend this pair that she owns and loves! It comes in 11 colors and is currently 20% off for Memorial Day weekend (use code MEMORIAL18)! I personally picked up a backup pair in white as well as another in yellow! I’m rounding up a few of my favorite wide-leg pant styles that I’m crushing on — how cute is this striped pair? 😍

Wide leg pants are one of my absolute favorites. Love how you styles these.
I’m slowly but surely inching myself into this style. I’ve been all about skinny pants for years that I thought this would look funny on me, but sure enough – they’re great! Loving this look you put together! I can’t wait to rock more of the wide-legged pants!!
I love how you balanced the wide leg pants with the tucked in top! I love the bright top and the shoes too, such a great outfit girl!
Love the fit of those pants!

Girl, you look amazing! Being so short and having wide hips has stopped me from trying this trend but I definitely want to add some pumps to add some height. Thanks for sharing 🙂

Those floral patterns and your infectious smile could bring a cheer in any bad day. I agree with you that a single monochrome look can make you appear taller, much like vertical stripes. Black has always done the trick. You could also pair the wide legged pants with a thin strap top.
