Styling Your Wide Leg Pants : Our top tips

So ladies, let's talk wide leg pants. Do you love or hate? This style started coming through in fashion a few years ago, I resisted at first, after all, who wants to add more material to their body right? But before too long, I was the owner of a pair of black denim 7/8ths wide leg pants from the Betty Basics range and wore them to death. It's now 3 years on and i've added several more pairs to my collection, however before you go diving into this style, there are a few tips to make it not so daunting. After all, wide leg pants actually lengthen legs and accentuate the waistline, creating an incredibly flattering silhouette on every body-type, so it's time to embrace this style and add a pair to your robe.

1. Start with denims

If you are new to this looks, I suggest starting off with pair of wide leg jeans/denims as it's certainly a go-to style for us. Not only are they comfortable, they’re also flattering and on trend. We are loving the new styles from the Sass range that dropped last week.

2. Monochrome your look 

A not so secret stylist tip that has been around for a long time has to be block colours, the same on top as bottom. Styling this way not only looks polished and elegant but gives you the chance to make your shoes and accessories pop on your outfit. Some staple tops that are perfect for this, for the cooler months are our Kasia tops from Sass and Fate & Becker range.

3. the best part - add some shoes! 

Pairing your wide leg pants with the right shoe needs special attention, after all most wide leg pants are billowy, airy, and generally begin to flare at the top, so adding the right shoe to compliment it's voluminous form is important. One of the top styles to add has to be a chunky sneaker, the bigger the sole the better. We love our new Laila sneakers from Django & Juliette for this style. Now don't underestimate the power of a low heeled ankle boot, they will add an edge to your look and are so versatile within your wardrobe in general. If you are pairing a corporate wide leg pant for a heel, go for something with a heel to give you that added height or incorporate a wedge.
