I know many people, including myself, worry about wearing wide-leg pants that make us look shorter or bigger than we want to look. Here are my 3 tips for wearing wide-leg pants without looking bulky.
Styling Tip 1:
Wearing heels! Actually, heels always work to elongate our legs no matter what are we wearing. Here I am wearing wide leg pants by Cos, a pink knit top by Massimo Dutti and if you like playing with colors like me, you can also add a different colored necklace to finish the look. Here I am also wearing a wicker bag by Ferragamo (similar options here & here)
Styling Tip 2:
Choose a pair of cropped length wide-leg pants that just hit above the ankle. So finding the right length pants is the key. I am a petite size, and these Cos wide-leg pants are regular size, so I just folded the waistband to make the length fit my body. Here I am also wearing a tank top by Massimo Dutti and bag by Carolina Herrera.
Styling Tip 3:
Tuck in your top to create a high-waisted look. Balancing the silhouette is the key. Besides a fitted tank top, you can also try a button-up, bodysuit, or a cropped tee, but always try to elongate the bottom in a maximal way. Here I am wearing a tank top by H&M, and an oversized suede tote by J.Crew — it’s from their new collection, and I am in love. Last, but not least, these Ellie Fisher wide-leg pants are lightweight, but structured, good elastic waistband, too, and you can play with the rise.
