How to Style Wide-Leg Pants & Flares for Every Body (S–3X)
If there's one piece that makes getting dressed feel easy, it's a great pair of wide-leg pants. They're relaxed but polished, forgiving but flattering, and they work just as hard at brunch as they do at the office. Add a flare into the mix and you've got a little throwback magic too. Here's how we'd style them — for every body, S to 3X.
Why wide-leg and flares flatter (almost) everyone
The secret is balance. A fuller leg skims right over the hip and thigh instead of clinging, and it lengthens you from the waist down — especially when you keep the top half a little fitted. The result is an easy hourglass that doesn't require sucking anything in. That's our kind of flattering.
Three ways to style wide-leg pants
Elevated-casual: tuck a fitted tank or bodysuit into a high-waisted wide-leg pant, add slides or a clean sneaker, and you're done in under a minute.
Office-ready: half-tuck a relaxed button-down, throw on a kitten heel, and let the pant do the talking.
Vacation mode: a flowy linen-feel wide-leg with a cropped top and your favorite sandals — instant resort energy.
Flares: the throwback that never really left
Flares are having a moment again, and we're not mad about it. They read a touch dressier than a wide-leg and they're unbeatable with a heel — that long, lean line from waist to floor is pure flattery. Keep the top simple (a tucked tee or a sleek knit) and let the silhouette be the statement.
Finding your rise and length (S–3X)
A high rise is your friend here — it defines the waist and keeps everything looking intentional. For length, aim to have the hem just kiss the floor in your usual shoe; petite frames can cuff or hem, and taller friends can lean into a true full-length. Every silhouette we carry comes S to 3X, so the fit is built for your body, not the other way around.
Shoes that finish the look
Wide-leg loves a chunky sandal, a slide, or a clean sneaker. Flares want a heel or a platform to keep that hem off the ground. When in doubt, a little lift is never wrong.
