Give your skinny jeans a break—the pants of the season are wide-leg all the way. Here’s how to take them from the boardroom to brunch.

Work

Make heads turn by pairing your trousers with a matching blazer. In this feminine pastel hue, the look txakes on a youthful and lighthearted air. If you’d prefer a more classic style, opt for a neutral hue—either way, the look will be just as office-chic.

Available in a variety of colours and textures, wide-leg trousers are super chic, plus they boast the benefit of being forgiving and comfy. No matter your style, you’re sure to find a pair that fits seamlessly into your closet.

Weekend

Throwing on a laid-back top and a statement belt easily dresses down these wide-leg trousers. Pick a shirt with a little something extra, like a fun pattern, collar or sleeves, for a one-of-a-kind aesthetic.
