Wondering how to style your wide leg denim in 2025? Get inspired with this list of chic and on-trend wide leg jeans outfit ideas for every season!
Effortless Wide Leg Jeans Outfits
From trendy baggy jeans to voluminous barrel-leg styles, there’s a reason why wide-leg jeans have consistently been the most stylish denim trend of the past few years. Not to be confused with flare jeans that flare out at the knee, wide-leg jeans are designed to sit loosely on the legs with a relaxed fit from the hips to the ankles.
Because wide-leg jeans have both a fitted waist and a baggy shape, they’re flattering on all body types and are great for giving the illusion of longer legs! Wide-leg jeans also offer more room and flexibility than tighter-fitting denim, which makes them comfortable for long work days, hanging out around the house, or going on a night out.
Love this denim trend, but not sure how to style it? Scroll down to find 19+ wide-leg jeans outfit ideas you’ll definitely want to save for later, plus helpful tips and trends for wearing wide-leg denim.
Suede jacket + high-waisted denim.
get the look:
Most wide-leg jeans have a high rise, which is perfect for wearing with bodysuits or tucking in a top. Adding a belt will also help cinch your waist and bring a stylish touch to your outfit. To finish off the look, Christal (our editor-in-chief) draped a fringe suede jacket over her shoulders (fringe will be huge this next year!) and wore patent kitten heels for a pop of fun.
White tee + black jeans.
get the look:
I’m obsessed with this outfit! Thanks to the black wide-leg jeans, it’s the perfect balance of casual and put-together. Orlaith styled them with a white tank top, an affordable felted jacket from H&M, black booties, and the same Celine belt Olivia wears above.
50 shades of brown.
get the look:
Speaking of trends: Brown has been the “It” color of the season, according to fashion experts like Elle and Harper’s Bazaar. But really, brown is one of those timeless neutrals you can wear over and over.
Mix and match this earthy hue into your everyday ensembles by pairing a chocolate brown top with light blue wide-leg jeans. (This color combo is so beautiful!) Complete the look with brown suede sneakers and a chic trench for extra style points.
Monochromatic layers.
get the look:
This next wide-leg jeans outfit is so timeless. Take note of how stylist Johanna wore two of the same navy cashmere knits to create a chic monochromatic moment. Paired with dramatic wide-leg jeans from Citizens of Humanity, this outfit is smart and stylish but simple to recreate.
Blazer + heeled sandals.
get the look:
Throwing on a tailored blazer over your wide-leg jeans creates a perfectly balanced look. Pair with a casual tee shirt and heeled sandals for an easy combo that can go from day to night.
Christal completed the look with accessories including silver jewelry and a mini pouch bag that can be worn crossbody or turned into a clutch once the sun goes down.
Layers on layers.
get the look:
If you love cool girl street style, then you’ll LOVE this next wide-leg jeans outfit.
Julie styled the Ayla Raw Hem jeans from Citizens of Humanity with a white tee layered under a gray knit and a Massimo Dutti blazer. Take note of this effortless layering since it will be one of the biggest fashion trends for 2025, according to Harper’s Bazaar. Think layers on layers (on layers)!
Add a sporty touch – another huge trend for 2025 – with a baseball cap of your favorite team.
Relaxed cardigan + colorful sneakers.
get the look:
Keep it casual with a relaxed cardigan and baggy wide-leg jeans. Super-slouchy denim and faded washes bring a cool, laid-back vibe to outfits that always look so effortless. Reach for trendy sneakers to add a pop of color.
Stripes + suede.
get the look:
Stripes for fall and winter, how groundbreaking! Well not really. This seasonal essential is both timeless and trendy for 2025—plus, it pairs flawlessly with wide-leg denim.
“The beauty of stripes,” writes W Magazine, “is they can be combined with other trends from the season.” This OOTD is the perfect example. A striped top adds a classic touch to an outfit with trendier pieces like a 70s-inspired suede jacket, Adidas Sambas, and baggy denim.
Christal’s stripes are pretty neutral, but don’t be afraid to go bold and colorful come spring.
Silk blouse + baggy jeans.
get the look:
Another great way to wear this denim trend is by styling it with professional pieces like chic loafers and a silk blouse. Slouchy jeans perfectly balance more elegant pieces and give the outfit a fashionable, effortless vibe. This is an outfit I’d wear to work during the week and to a cool museum or dinner party on the weekend.
Sporty jacket + chunky sneakers.
get the look:
The sporty windbreaker (aka anorak jacket) is one new trend our editor-in-chief is happily adopting into her wardrobe.
According to Who What Wear, these sporty jackets are perfect for creating balanced outfits and come in handy during chilly, rainy weather! Cropped versions, like the one Christal wears, look great with wide-leg jeans and chunky New Balance sneakers.
With relaxed basics.
get the look:
One of my favorite things about wide-leg jeans is that they can be worn in every season. From winter to summer, this denim style can do it all! If you’re looking for some warm-weather outfit inspo, check out this next look.
Pair oversized wide-leg jeans with your go-to white tee shirt and a crisp button-down for a relaxed look. Minimalist accessories like strappy sandals, a braided leather bag, and a black belt ensure the look feels fashionable, not messy.
Style tip: Go up a size or two with your wide-leg jeans to get that oversized look!
Basic tee + sandals.
I love how simple outfits can feel so stylish with a pair of wide-leg jeans. Here, Christal wore a loose-fitting gray tee with wide-leg jeans and minimal accessories. The dainty heeled sandals add a cute touch to this off-duty outfit.
If you’re not into the extra-baggy look, opt for a tighter-fitting tee or crop top instead. The options are limitless!
Oversized coat + loafers.
get the look:
Preppy basics like blazers, sweaters, varsity jackets, and loafers are still very much in style heading into 2025. Wear your academia-inspired pieces with wide-leg denim for a sophisticated ensemble you can wear from work to the weekend.
Heading into winter? Swap your blazer for an oversized wool coat!
Black cardigan + gray jeans.
get the look:
Copy this cozy weekend outfit by wearing a pair of gray (or faded black) wide-leg jeans and tucking in a white tee. Adding a cardigan and accessorizing with a vintage belt, sneakers, and an oversized tote feels like the ultimate cool girl styling.
Going-out top + ballet flats.
get the look:
A going-out top and jeans is one combination I’ll never get tired of.
For a more modern take, swap out your straight-leg jeans with a baggier silhouette and opt for ballet flats instead of heels. This is a fashionable pairing to wear on a date night or out with friends. Just be sure to grab a leather jacket if you need a cool (but warm) layer!
Burgundy is the new black.
get the look:
Red has been a major color trend throughout the 2020s, but for the rest of 2024 going into 2025, burgundy is queen. This full-bodied wine hue, according to British Vogue, is the new neutral that adds a subtle pop to your outfit but also looks good paired with any other color.
Maria shows how easy it is to wear burgundy with this gorgeous OOTD. Start with a pair of wide-leg denim and a wine-colored top. Add more burgundy (the more, the merrier) with cute kitten heels and a faux leather jacket.
Style tip: No need to head to the tailor! If your jeans are too long, cuff them. This simple solution adds an on-trend touch to any wide-leg jeans outfit.
Cream blazer + black accessories.
get the look:
Wide-leg jeans have a similar shape and style to trousers, making them an ideal denim choice when you want to get dressed up. For a party-ready look, pair your wide-leg jeans with a one-shoulder top, a structured blazer, and stylish heels.
Blue jeans are perfect for a daytime event, but you could swap them out for a moodier dark wash at night.
Leather jacket + white denim.
get the look:
White wide-leg jeans will add a fresh element to your outfits and can be mixed and matched with this season’s must-own colors! I love how Madina paired hers with a camel-colored sweater and oversized leather jacket. Top the outfit off with coordinating accessories, like a practical suede tote bag and tortoise shell sunnies.
Style tip: Adding a belt adds a nice contrast to white denim and helps show off your waist!
Chic in suede.
get the look:
I’ll definitely be recreating this look for fall and winter. A cozy sweater looks amazing with wide-leg jeans for an easy, comfortable ‘fit. To give the outfit more interest, Christal sandwiched the look with a matching suede jacket and boots.
Style tip: Sleek booties look so good with wide-leg jeans! Be sure to opt for a pointed-toe if you want a more elongating fit.
Turtleneck + dark-wash denim.
get the look:
For a chic winter outfit, you can’t go wrong with dark wide-leg jeans and a sleek black turtleneck. Black boots and cold-weather accessories like leather gloves and a statement coat ensure you look stylish but feel warm in freezing temps.
