The piece

How to choose and wear wide-leg jeans

Denim cut wide from the hip. A relaxed alternative to straight jeans that balances fitted tops.

How to choose

  • High rise to lengthen the leg.
  • Rigid denim holds the wide shape; soft stretch denim collapses.
  • Mid or dark wash first.

Common mistakes

  • ✕An oversized top on top: volume on volume.
  • ✕Hems that drag and fray.
  • ✕Worn with dressy heels in a way that looks unplanned.

Care: Wash rarely and cold; hang to keep the leg straight.

In a capsule: A second denim shape in a capsule; the first pair should be straight jeans.

The details

Length, belt and fabric

What makes the colours above look deliberate.

Length
Long enough to cover most of the shoe; with flat shoes, a hem that just grazes the floor.
Belt
Match the belt to your shoes: a black belt with black leather shoes. With sneakers, any neutral belt works.
Fabric
The same black in a different weight: cotton or linen for summer, wool, flannel or heavier cotton for winter.

Avoid

What not to wear with black wide-leg jeans

Skip the dark brown loafers. Dark brown next to black looks like a near-miss match; go black or clearly lighter.
