Wide-leg trousers aren’t just about being unbelievably cozy; in fact, these beauties can – and always for that matter – make a fashionable statement. For the past couple of years, we’ve witnessed an incredible surge in popularity in the “all-things-loose” department, from large sweaters, loose coats, dresses and more importantly trousers. It wasn’t so much about their functionality as it was about their allure; in fact, it came to everyone’s attention – much to our pleasure – that wide-leg trousers gave its wearer some sort of an elongated silhouette, one that wouldn’t go unnoticed.

It’s in that spirit that the world’s biggest runways and consequently, the savviest streets, filled up with these beauties. Whether you choose to wear them casually à la Victoria Beckham or in a more sophisticated context à la Olivia Palermo, one thing’s for sure, wide-leg trousers are your go-to pants this season. The key here is to always pay attention to your silhouette. Meaning, to balance out the outcome, it is more preferable to match wide-leg trousers to fit tops and bodices. For added effect, pair your trousers with savvy mules or just plain old sneakers!
