The reign of the skinny leg jeans is well and truly over, making way instead for relaxed and wide leg cuts.
The best style of denim for a laid-back look, these were practically made to be worn with a pair of chic sandals through spring or heeled boots in winter.
The best thing about wide leg jeans are their ability to chameleon. Team with a plain white tank and you’ve got your entire weekend wardrobe sorted. Level up with a blouse or oversized shirt and you’ve got effortlessly smart-casual for the office.
We love wide leg jeans in vintage-wash blue, faded denim and cream. Here are our top picks to shop now.

What body type should wear wide-leg jeans?
There’s no right or wrong when it comes to jean silhouettes anymore. However, people with wider hips and thighs might feel more comfortable in loose-fit and baggy styles. Wide-leg jeans often come in various lengths – look for ankle or crop styles if you’re on the shorter side or let full-length bootcut fits show off long legs.
Are wide-leg jeans in style in 2025?
Wide-leg jeans have been trending for a while now. This season, there’s a penchant for even wider, baggier silhouettes. Balance the proportions by wearing oversized styles with slim-fit or cropped tops.
