THE MOST FLATTERING WIDE-LEG JEANS STYLED 3 WAYS + 3 STYLE TIPS WHEN WEARING THIS TRENDING DENIM SILHOUETTE

The first tip in my guide for how to style wide-leg jeans is to style them with a fitted or cropped jacket. Choosing a cropped or fitted jacket will create balance in your look. Since the jeans are baggy, you want to offset that by wearing something fitted like this gorgeous faux fur jacket. The fitted style snatches in your waist and creates the perfect illusion of an hourglass shape. Did I mention this stunning jacket is under $100? I wear an XS and it fits true to size.

Keep in mind that you always want your wide-leg jeans to be high-waisted as opposed to low-waisted. These jeans from Alice & Olivia are so flattering and I love the vintage faded wash. These are made of non-stretch denim and they run small so size up for the perfect fit. Both Cathy and I wear a size 25 in these full-length jeans with a vintage-chic aesthetic.

Tucking in your shirt or wearing a bodysuit will also create balance in your look since both options accentuate your waist. Even doing the half-tuck is better than nothing, and opting for a bodysuit is a great choice. The exact one I’m wearing is sold out but I’ve linked a similar one by Good American that I LOVE and wear all the time.

PS. Don’t forget to add a belt for an even MORE slimming effect!

Tip No. 3 for how to style wide-leg jeans is to pair them with some sort of heel. Whether it’s booties, platforms, or stilettos, they’re guaranteed to make you look taller and slimmer! Wearing a heel with wide-leg jeans will also ensure you don’t look frumpy which can easily happen if you pair wide-leg denim with flats or sneakers. Even a wedge or kitten heel would be better than wearing flats, but my favorite type of heels to wear with these jeans is either a pointy-toe heel or a platform. I’ve linked the most gorgeous pair of gold platforms that are stunning AND affordable, so feel free to check them out!
