Wide Leg Pants for Spring

Spring is just around the corner, which means it’s time to start thinking about refreshing your wardrobe with some new and classic pieces. One style that is still going strong this season is wide leg pants. These flowy, relaxed trousers are not only comfortable and versatile, but also incredibly chic and perfect for spring. Whether you’re dressing them up for a night out or keeping it casual for a day in the office, wide leg pants are the perfect addition to your spring wardrobe.

Wide Leg Pants For Spring

Wide leg pants are very flattering on so many different body types. They can create the illusion of longer legs when they are high waisted, and even give some waist definition when pairing with a slim top. I love the balance that wide leg pants give to your overall look.

Today I’m sharing a round-up of great wide leg pants and different ways to style them for the spring season. With the warmer weather approaching, think of lighter fabrics such as cotton, linen, and light denim. In addition to lighter fabrics, try bringing in some some prints and colors to freshen up your mood!

Wide Leg Pants Outfit Ideas

Wide Leg Printed Pants

Printed wide leg pants are just fun! And spring is the perfect time to enjoy them. I know prints are not for everyone, but if you’re looking for a statement maker to add to your outfit rotation, try a pair of printed wide leg pants. There are so many colorful options to choose from. They are easy to dress up with heels and a light knit, or wear casual with flat slides and a tank top. Add a raffia tote and neutral sandals to transition this look into summer! And have fun with it!

 

 

Wide Leg Linen Pants

What’s more light and comfortable than linen pants? Wide leg linen pants. These are an essential spring and summer staple in my wardrobe. Choose a neutral color such as white or tan so that you can wear them with literally everything. You can pair these with a striped button down shirt for a casual look, or a fun top for night! They go equally well with heels, sandals, and loafers! How easy is that?

 

Pink Wide Leg Pants

Can’t think of a more perfect time of year than spring to wear pink wide leg pants. The flowers are blooming and color is everywhere! Pink is such a happy color and makes a true statement. Whether you wear a matching pink blazer and pants set, or just the pants, pink is easier to wear than you think. The key is pairing pink with neutrals to keep the look chic and classy. I love this cropped blazer for all spring occasions! It’s one of those classic pieces you will wear year after year.

 

 

Crochet Top

Crochet is a big trend for this year. I’m not usually one for trends, as I prefer a classic and more wearable wardrobe, but crochet is one of those timeless trends. Pair your wide leg pants with a crochet top for spring to summer style. The details add nice texture and interest to your outfits. Keep everything else simple and let the crochet make the statement.

 

Pair Your Wide Leg Pants with a Light Cotton Sweater

Light-weight sweaters made from cotton or cotton blends are a great layering piece for spring. When the weather is finicky with cool mornings and warm afternoons, layering a light sweater over a tee or tank top is the way to go. Keeping a neutral or white sweater handy will ensure that it goes with everything.

 

Add a Woven Straw Bag

Raffia accessories and straw bags pair so well with wide leg pants. Both have an easy breezy style. Style your wide leg spring pants with a straw tote for day, and a small raffia clutch for evening.  I’m wearing my Pamela Munson straw bag. Each season offers a different style and color of tote handles. This one has the cutest and most delicate eyelet straps. It’s the little details that stand out and really make an outfit. This bag has both form and function. The roomy interior holds all my essentials and more! Pamela Munson bags are so timeless and so well made! I know this will be in my collection for many years to come.

 

What Shoes to Wear With Wide Leg Pants

A lot of people are confused about what shoes to wear with wide leg pants. I have a whole blog post dedicated to that. But it’s not as difficult as you may think. You can really wear ANY shoes with wide leg pants. The important thing is to make sure that the hem of the pants is right for the shoe. If you wear sneakers with wide leg pants, then you want to make sure that the hem is short enough so that it does not puddle on the floor. This can make you look shorter.

If you want to wear flat shoes or sneakers with wide leg pants, you may need a simple hem to get the length right. I bought my favorite Chuck trousers twice! One I kept long to wear with heels, and the other I had hemmed to wear with flat shoes. If you find a pair of pants you love, you might as well make them as versatile as possible!

Here are some of my favorite shoes of all heights that are great for spring!

 

 

Get ahead of the spring season and make sure your wardrobe is updated with a pair or two of wide leg pants. They make a really classy outfit for day or night! In addition to wide leg pants, wide leg jeans are very popular this year too. If wide leg jeans seem too much for you, try the equally popular straight leg jeans this season.
