Wide-Leg Pants Are the Key to Pulling Off Chic Summer Outfits

Though unequivocally stylish, wide-leg pants can be a bit intimidating to wear at first. Depending on the width and hem of the pants, you need to be careful about proportions, or else you risk veering into the unflattering territory. But with the right top and shoes, wide-leg pants can be the surprisingly simple key to looking runway-ready with minimal effort.

What’s great about wide-leg pants is that with the right fabric and fit, they can work for any occasion. You can rock a pair of flared trousers to work or pull on some silky pleated pants for dinner at that trendy restaurant you’ve been dying to try.

In case we haven’t already sold you on the beauty and versatility of added leg room, Banana Republic’s wide-leg repertoire speaks for itself. There are plenty of stylish bottoms to choose from, in varying colors, fabrics, and lengths.
