Wide-leg jeans

Wide-leg jeans have a leg that's cut full and straight from the hip down, with a wide opening at the hem. Unlike flares, the width stays consistent rather than tapering then flaring — giving a relaxed, fluid silhouette.

The volume in the leg makes wide-leg jeans look best with a higher rise and a top that's fitted or tucked, so the proportion stays balanced rather than shapeless. Longer lengths that nearly graze the floor elongate the body.

Wide-leg differs from bootcut and flare, which are fitted through the thigh before opening up; a wide leg is roomy the whole way down.
