Forgive us for the pun, but wide-leg trousers have, well, wide appeal. (Sorry, we had to.) Jokes aside, they’re one of those rare wardrobe staples that truly work for almost everyone, in almost every setting. Roomy and forgiving yet still polished and sleek, wide-leg trousers strike the balance between comfort and sophistication, seamlessly transitioning from office hours to off-duty plans without missing a beat (and just a switch of shoes).
Vogue s Favorite Wide-Leg Trousers
Last fashion month, the silhouette was everywhere on the street style scene, worn in all its variations: crisp gray suiting styles, relaxed khaki pairs, and classic cropped black trousers. The beauty of the wide-leg trouser lies in its versatility, and its accessibility, too. From sharply tailored iterations by Saint Laurent to clean, minimalist options at Cos, the shape spans the price spectrum. We pulled inspiration from the streets to show you exactly how to wear them now.
The Heather Grey
As evidenced by this stylish showgoer, gray trousers and a pop of red are a match made in heaven.
The Cuffed Pair
Classic pieces, like trousers and white shirting, take on a more fluid feel with long, loose cuts. Stay in the neutrals family by topping this grey wool pair off with a simple white button-down and lightweight black jacket. Cuffing the bottoms (whether intentionally purchased this way, or done so at your tailor) helps prevent them from dragging.
