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.
