While bootleg and relaxed styles have been the market leaders in the pants market, and most likely your closet, the wide-leg silhouette is taking the industry by storm. What we love the most about this transition, is how the new structure allows maximum versatility. The sultry shape can not only be easily dressed up or down but can be paired with flats, sneakers, boots and heels. With such endless styling options, it’s no wonder they are at the top of our must-have list for autumn.
If you only choose one pair of denim this season, we recommend you go with a seasonless signature pair from Democracy. The brand is famous for its “Ab” solution jeans designed with flattery at the forefront. They accentuate the female form with slimming, shaping and lifting craftsmanship in every inch of the design.
Maybe you are looking for a pair of pants that is as comfortable as denim but comes across as a bit more luxe. Look no further than Paige’s Harper pants. This ultra-soft material is made with the ideal amount of stretch for a flawless fit. To top it off, the plush black velvet corduroy instantly elevates your look whether you are out for the day or dressed up for a night out on the town.
Cream is a color highly underused during the cooler seasons. Tommy Bahama understood the assignment when creating the new Indigo Palms denim collection. The high-rise pant with utilitarian pockets evokes a laid-back sense, while the clean, finished hem, brings just enough polish. Couple this elegant, bleached-sand-hued pant with a chunky sweater to stay cozy and chic no matter where you venture this season.
Born out of Italy, the Gillian jeans from Closed in Ferro brown are another rich color alternative this season. The deep hue and sophisticated silhouette create endless pairing options from a white t-shirt to a classic button-down. Additionally, the slightly slimmer hemline and unapologetic comfort will have you reaching for these jeans time and time again.
Annie Bing designed her Soto pants in opulent navy vegan leather for a look that elevates your outfit with minimal effort. The pant offers sophisticated style while achieving an effortlessly cool look from day to night.
Sometimes you need a piece that is set to shine and luckily for us, Ramy Sharp created this pair with that ethos in mind. Her cropped Clifford pant comes in a bold gunmetal metallic complete with a high–rise waist and cropped wide-leg bottom. They read modern in shape yet incredibly luxurious for a guaranteed showstopping outfit.
Any wardrobe would not be complete without a timeless, wide-leg trouser. L’AGENCE fuses the effortless lifestyle of Los Angeles with an understated Parisian influence and has perfected the concept with its Pilar wide–leg pants. The lightweight, stretch suiting lets you power through your day whether personal or professional, while simultaneously looking polished and poised.
