The Smart Way To Wear Wide-Leg Denim

FASHION

BY NICOLE BONYTHON-HINES

They’ve been around for a while now, but wide-leg jeans are still a controversial choice for some. Compared with the much-loved skinny, though, a wide-leg is infinitely more wearable.

Look 1 "There’s a real high-low feel to this look, with H&M jeans, a Uniqlo top and Lee Mathews coat, which is a dream to wear. It’s unstructured, no lining and feels like a cardigan."

Look 2 "This look demonstrates that you can wear a wide-leg jean with an oversized knit; you can wear big-on-big, and it’s elegant."

Look 3 "Meanwhile, this fluffy jacket feels very glam rock – it has a real David Essex vibe, really 70s. This whole look is quite indulgent"

Look 4 "This look is my way of showing you can do jeans for work. The cropped jacket is very off-the-moment; it’d be a little ‘old lady’ if you wore it with a pencil skirt, but with jeans it looks cool."

Look 5 "Wide-leg denim with a striped shirt and trench is a very classic look. These Cotton On jeans are a great mid-wash and perfect with the Matteau shirt, which is nicely oversized and good quality."
