The era of skinny jeans feels like a long, long time ago. A time when even A$AP Rocky was stepping on stage in a pair of fitted Balmain jeans. Pants (and shorts) have been growing more relaxed as fashion moves in its perpetual cycle and the unashamed glory years of the extra-wide-leg pant are upon us in a big way.
The thing we love most about wide-leg pants is their ability to transform the rest of your wardrobe. A more exaggerated cut will give your outfit impact when it comes to silhouette, and the styling possibilities are aplenty. If you think that making the switch to wide-leg pants is a big jump for you, then listen up.
We’ve rounded up a selection of the best baggy pants online and it proves the length and breadth of the style. From workwear styles by Carhartt WIP all the way to clean masterpieces by The Row, this selection shows the true potential of the wide leg.
