29 Pairs of Wide-Leg Pants That'll Immediately Be Wardrobe Staples

While I've had a love for many of my pieces throughout the years, my wide-leg pants have always had a special place in my heart. I even have a few pairs from high school that still get their fair share of love in my outfit rotation. They're not only the most comfortable of all my trousers, but they also have a flattering silhouette whether I pair them with a fitted top or an oversize one. Back when I was in high school, it was a scavenger hunt to find wide-leg pants among the sea of skinny jeans and leggings. Now, there's almost too much to choose from.

I searched through all my favorite retailers to find you wide-leg pants of all sorts that have one thing in common—they're going to be staples in your wardrobe immediately. You'll get major wear out of the options below. Just keep scrolling.

Yusra Siddiqui is an editor who resides in New Jersey but bounces between the suburbs and NYC. (She's a Jersey girl at heart.) After interning at Who What Wear in 2019, she found her way to the team after graduating from LIM College in 2022 with a fashion media degree. She's also spent time writing and working for publications such as Fashionista, Coveteur, and Nylon, but she always knew that Who What Wear was where she was meant to be. When she's on the job, she's perusing runway shows, analyzing the latest thing fellow Gen Zers are up to on the internet, and sharing what she can about the modest-fashion market. You can also catch her dabbling in entertainment, talking about the costume choices of the latest Netflix series or diving deeper into how the plotline affects the viewers in a myriad of ways. Lastly, she likes to create content for Who What Wear's TikTok. Her personal time is spent doing similar but also different things—deep diving into almost every new TV show (Bridgerton, Gilmore Girls, and Stranger Things are favorites), planning her next local getaway (whenever that may be), and reading the latest Emily Henry or Sally Rooney novel in one sitting.
