The most hard-working trousers around, wide-leg styles are so easy to style for any occasion.
We’ve seen quite a few throwback trouser styles coming through this year, and whether it’s cargo or side stripe, there are some excellent niche trends. But while we approve of both of these, we also love to stand by the classics that work for multiple occasions, across all seasons. So, let’s hear it for the wide-leg trouser.
These timeless trousers have been loved for years, decades even, and it’s hardly surprising when they’re stylish, comfy and, most importantly, versatile. Looking equally effortless with trainers and a crisp white shirt for the office as they do with heels and a ‘nice top’ for a weekend dinner date, they’re the all-rounder to rely on. And here’s not forgetting the fact most styles have a matching blazer so you can style it as a suit – the perfect co-ord for everything from work to a wedding guest outfit.
Keep going to see nine of the best wide-leg trousers to buy now and love forever.
Cos wide-leg twill trousers
Sure, cream trousers may be risky at this time of year, but on dry-weather days, they’re a great option. Wear with a roll neck for now and a vest top and linen shirt come spring.
H&M wide-leg trousers
H&M is home to some of the best and most affordable wide-leg trousers on the high street. No doubt you’ll want to get the matching blazer to style as a suit, too.
Reformation petites Mason trousers
If you’re petite, finding trousers that aren’t trailing on the floor can be tricky. Luckily, Reformation’s cult wide-leg Mason trousers are now available in the petites section.
M&S jersey side-stripe trousers
Side-stripe trousers are having a moment, so this wide-leg style is ticking off two trends in one. The best part is? They also come in short, regular and long lengths and three colours so you’re bound to find the perfect pair.
Arket low-waist flannel trousers
Arket does tailoring and basics really well, so naturally it’s great place to find wide-leg trousers. This slouchy grey pair will look just as good with a satin top and heels for a night out as it will with a shirt for the office.
& Other Stories pleated trousers
As we get closer and closer to spring, it’s a wise time to invest in soft sorbet shades. These pastel pink trousers will work wonders with all the red pieces you’ll no doubt now have in your wardrobe for 2024.
Whistles Harper wide-leg trousers
With red being the colour of the season, wide-leg trousers in the bold shade are an easy way to try it out. Try teaming with a burgundy top and heels for a luxe office look.
Mango wide-leg trousers with belt
For a smart style that’ll always look polished, opt for a high-wasted belted pair. This Mango version with slight flared leg will look so good with pointed-toe heels.
Zara wide-leg trousers with double waistband
A fun way to wear wide-leg trousers this year is the double-waistband style. It’s all about the contrast detail that looks so good with a T-shirt and blazer for weekend walks or running errands.
