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 light blue in a different weight: cotton or linen for summer, wool, flannel or heavier cotton for winter.
