Celebs Love Wearing Wide-Leg Trousers Just as Much as I Do—4 Chic Looks I’m Copying
The humble wide-leg trouser is a wardrobe staple not to be underestimated. Dress them up with a smart cotton button-down and you have an elevated weekday look that will make you feel polished and poised all day. Or style them with a graphic tee and some chunky sandals for a laidback outfit that feels just as comfortable as your favourite pyjamas.
I'll sing the praises of a great pair of wide-leg trousers day and night, and I'm not the only one who reaches for them most days of the week. Although they're equipped with generous budgets, in-demand stylists and front-row seats at major runway shows, celebrities also come back to this essential item time and again.
As a lover of wide-leg trousers with a penchant for keeping up with the best celebrity looks, below, I've chronicled four of my favourite celebrity wide-leg trouser outfits to keep my styling inspiration topped up. From Jennifer Lawrence to Jasmine Tookes, read on to discover how the celebrities are styling their wide-leg trousers this season.
1. JENNIFER LAWRENCE
Style Notes: I always look forward to seeing Jennifer Lawrence's red carpet looks, but it's her off-duty style that I really can't get enough of. Selecting relaxed items such as slouchy button-downs and wide-leg trousers, the actress always manages to craft ensembles that feel comfortable, wearable and ever so chic, and the errand-running look pictured here captures this essence perfectly.
SHOP THE LOOK:
The fresh shade of pale blue is currently trending for spring/summer.
Style underneath a loose button-down or wear on its own come summer.
This rich navy shade also looks so chic styled with whites and creams.
The easiest way to dress up a daytime outfit that calls for some polish.
2. ROSIE HUNTINGTON-WHITELEY:
Style Notes: I've done the research, and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley's trouser collection is a near-even split of skin-hugging leggings and ultra-wide-leg trousers. Pairing her cream-coloured pair with the matching vest, she smartened up the billowy silhouette in the chicest way possible.
SHOP THE LOOK:
Style with denim or wear with the matching trousers.
3. JASMINE TOOKES
Style Notes: Demonstrating the versatile nature of black wide-leg trousers, model Jasmine Tookes brought a decidedly elegant edge to her styling here. Wearing hers with a structured coat that featured oversized shoulders, Tookes' incorporation of a tailored element helped to balance the casual feel of the slouchy trousers. If you're looking to give your favourite pair an elevated twist, look no further than this simple styling hack.
SHOP THE LOOK:
This classic coat is a wardrobe investment you'll come back to year after year.
Style over a white tee with your favourite jeans for an easy off-duty look.
Style with wide-leg trousers or use to cinch in your favourite dress.
Pair these with a boxy blazer or a chunky knit when it's chillier.
Grab these pointed-toe boots whilst they're still on sale.
4. LAURA HARRIER
Style Notes: Styling a relaxed outfit you'll find me replicating all season, Harrier opted for a pair of trending wide-leg linen trousers to form the base of her look. The actress gave her lightweight trousers a cosier edge with a warm navy knit, creating a spring-ready outfit that you'll never grow tired of.
SHOP THE LOOK:
These oval-frame sunglasses are a classic, flattering shape.
