Four ways to wear wide leg jeans

Filed under: Clothing, Jeans

wide leg jeans sass and bideIf you haven't heard the news yet, wide leg jeans are super "in" for Fall '07. Since it's been a while since we have worn the wide silhouette, Net-a-Porter has a guide on exactly what you should wear with your new wider leg. Now don't get confused because skinny legs are still the number one silhouette for the season, with the straight leg trailing behind. The wide leg is just starting to surface so if you want to be the most stylish girl in your crew, please read on.

To the office:
Depending on what kind of work setting you are in, this look could work everyday or for a casual Friday. Pair your wide leg jeans with a sleek black heel, a crisp white button down shirt with feminine details (like a bow), and top it off with a long khaki colored belted trench. For the accessories, go minimal with a small touch of gold jewelry and a tan bag.

Lunch date: Whether it is lunch with the girls or a casual date with your boyfriend, this look will work for you. Take your dark blue wide leg jeans, a satin blouse, patent leather flats, and a red purse. To add a little more jazz to the outfit add some silver to your wrist with a chunky charm bracelet.

Chilly fall weekend: Just because there is a nip in the air doesn't mean your style has to suffer. Throw on a pair of white wide leg jeans, an over-sized gray sweater, a roomy tote, and round out the look with a pair of round toe Mary Jane's.

Night out on the town:
Jeans are totally appropriate for evening, especially here in L.A. Take a look that could work for day, like a pair of super dark denim wide legs and a boho-inspired top and cinch it close to your body with a body conscious tuxedo jacket. It's not evening without a touch of bling, so make sure you put on your best metallic heels and reflective jewelry.
