Trend: Wide Leg Trousers Stage a Comeback

The wide leg pant is all the rage for 2015 and I am so glad it is back!

The wide leg pant comes in different sub-styles that make it easier to choose a style that will fit your body type. Contrary to belief, the wide leg pant can accentuate your waist and lengthen your body instantly when worn correctly and with confidence.

I love this pant in longer lengths for work. It allows ladies who love high heels to wear them without feeling over dressed and over the top. I see the cropped wide leg pant also making a comeback, although the weather is still cooler. I have a feeling we will see more of this in the spring when getting airflow becomes more of a priority.

Bloomingdales is a great one-stop shop to start your wide leg pant hunt. With various designers it makes it easier to find something suitable for all.

White is still relevant this season. In fact it’s acceptable year round now, ladies. The old school “white rules” no longer apply. It’s a staple color, as it should be. It helps bring a refreshed, crisp look to an outfit. The Halston Heritage wide leg pant is gorg! It’s ultra stylish with its faux leather and gold tone side buckles, along with two slit pockets. This is a must have for your closet!

Next up is the crop look that is irresistible. It’s carefree, comfortable, and very refined at the same time. I love the fabric belt and the overall appearance of this pant. It’s definitely more of a spring look, but can easily be converted for the cooler months as a change of pace from the longer pant.

There aren’t many sizes left so I would snag one at this sale price, especially since the ankle-bearing pant allows you to show off the hot shoes you splurged on. What better way to showcase a sexy pair of footwear while looking and feeling fab?

If you are in a colder climate and care more about warmth while keeping chic, then Armani will never let you down. Armani has suit making down! Therefore, its wide leg wool pant is exquisite! It’s a pricier pant, but for a classic everlasting black wool pant, it’s worth it. The pocket less pant allows you to pair it with all kinds of blazers or tops without fuss. Sometimes simple is the best choice.
