How to Style Wide-Leg Jeans: Tops, Shoes & Outfits
Wide-leg jeans are the denim of the moment. Here's how to style wide-leg jeans so the proportions always work.
What tops go with wide-leg jeans?
Keep the top half fitted so the volume reads intentional: a bodysuit, a cropped or tucked knit, or a tucked blouse. Save oversized tops for slimmer jeans. Browse tops.
What shoes go with wide-leg jeans?
- Heels & platforms — lengthen the leg; hem should just skim the floor.
- Chunky sneakers — the casual, current pairing.
- Ankle boots — for a cropped wide-leg hem.
How to style wide-leg jeans if you're petite
Choose a high rise, keep the top tucked, and have the hem tailored to hit at the ankle so the jean doesn't overwhelm your frame. Add a heel to lengthen. Check your best cut with the denim fit finder and shape with the body shape calculator.
