Wide Leg Trouser Jeans

If you're tired of skinny jeans or simply want something comfortable for around the house, wide leg trouser jeans are the perfect choice. Even thought they have a reputation as casual dress, wide leg jeans can definitely create a very pulled together look especially when they're paired with a nice blouse or even a jacket and heels. Loose certainly doesn't have to mean sloppy with a well chosen pair of wide leg trouser jeans!

Although wide leg trouser jeans look great with heels, there's a common misconception that they don't work well with flats. The truth is that, although it takes a little hemming work, wider leg jeans can look great with flats as well. The key is to raise the hem enough that the jeans trousers fabric doesn't get bunched up around your ankles or feet. Because of this need to hem, you'll probably need two pairs of trousers - one with a longer hem for wearing with heels and another shorter hem for flats.

The jean wash also reflects on how others can perceive your jeans. A very light or washed out look (think stone washed from the 1990's) definitely screams "yardwork" while a darker wash can turn those weekend chore jeans into something you would feel comfortable wearing to more formal events.

In any case, you should get yourself a pair of wide leg trouser jeans if you don't have a few already. They take the traditional and classic jean and update it to fit a more contemporary wardrobe.
