Wide-leg jeans and their 1970s vibe are again a force of nature—and they’re at the top of our shopping lists for 2023. Here, Nicola Peltz Beckham (in Isabel Marant’s Lemony jeans) and Brooklyn Beckham (in Diesel’s D-Rise) showcase the wonders of the perfect pair: whether they’re chicly oversized but still mold to the hips, like Nicola’s do, or distressed denim in a darker wash like Brooklyn’s. As it turns out, all you need is love and some great wide-leg jeans.
Shop a selection of them here, in our Winter 2023 edition of Just One Thing.
The Wide-Leg Must Haves
It’s all about contrasts—yins and yangs, if you will. Nicola proves that the perfect thing to pair with her wide-leg jeans is an ultra-feminine, lingerie-style top. It’s no surprise how well durable denim can play off of satins and sheers.
Why not wear a dress with your jeans? In love as in fashion, the rules rarely apply. Nicola throws a patchworked dress over her denim for a bit of boho glamour. Brooklyn, meanwhile, gets grungy in his R13 flannel shirt.

Have you ever considered that the lounge-friendly fit of wide-leg jeans makes them ideal for a romantic picnic? Pair your pants with a cropped jacket; a high waist means you can shrink your top, just like Nicola does with a buttery leather Loewe jacket.

Brooklyn knows to balance his super wide denim with a little something special overhead—for instance, a statement hat that’s equal parts fashion and function.
Nicola shimmers in a Valentino top with linear sequin details while her fringed belt hangs loose. The whole effect is one of heady 1970s glam—a flash of metal, a bit of flare, and heaps of effortless chic.
Hello, moto! A standout pair of wide-leg jeans is the perfect foundation for a bold coat—Miu Miu and Prada go hand-in-hand here. Any length, any style, and any fabric will take your everyday denim look to the next level.
A textured top or multi-colored knit fits the vibe—whether it’s cropped or long-sleeved, you can hardly go wrong. Accessories are also a must: These earrings from Tory Burch are so great, one alone does the trick.
