We love our jeans, but sometimes we crave an alternative when fatigue sets in. Lately, it’s obvious that a smart and polished pant style is the look du jour among the style set: wide-leg trousers. Though not a novel silhouette, spring’s assortment is about modern design and fresh styling. Meticulous details take the look into fashion-girl territory via paper-bag waists, directional pleats and asymmetric accents, available in a range of sorbet shades, vibrant hues and fun patterns. Meant to be worn a bit slouchy, the effect is still smart whether styled nonchalantly with sneakers and a blazer or sophisticated with heels and a blouse. Here, we spotlight ten pairs of wide-leg pants available at a range of price points from affordable to designer. This look is well worth a try.
