wear wide leg pants

  • With heels. Flats will simply never complete the look as well as heels will; the exception is if you're carrying off a very masculine look with man-style flats.
  • With a slim-fitting top to balance out the volume on the bottom half. A soft, billowing blouse can also work well but is best broken up with a waist-cinching belt.
  • With utter 70s glamour: wide-leg trouser, platforms and a big floppy hat.
  • Female dandy style - look to vintage icons like Katharine Hepburn and Marlene Dietrich for inspiration.
  • With 40s pin-up girl flair, by pairing some wide-legged sailor pants with nautical stripes and espadrilles.

Wide-leg pants: who should wear them

A final, mandatory note about wide-legs, be they jeans, trousers or a draping palazzo: all of these styles work best of taller frames. If you're short in the legs try a pair of skinny cropped pants or ones with a subtle flare paired with heels.
