As the skinny jeans debate between millennials and Gen Z continues, we're not taking sides, but we're weighing in to praise one of our favorite denim (opens in new tab): wide jeans. Yes, wide pants are inherently comfortable and a surefire way to get back into denim after a pandemic, but they also work well with back-to-work blazers (opens in new tab), boots (opens in new tab), and form-fitting tops. I don't know where to start: ......" If you do, this wide-leg style is for you.

High-rise jeans can always "rise". Pair them with chunky boots to elongate the legs and a cropped cable knit sweater (opens in new tab) to accentuate the middle.

Wear wide-leg cropped jeans with your favorite loose-fitting T-shirt or sweatshirt. Add sneakers (opens in new tab) or slides for an ensemble that can easily run around town.

Baggy jeans don't have to read grunge (unless you want to). Pair them with a cardigan or blazer for a sophisticated, cool look.

Pair strategically torn or faded jeans with a feminine-inspired blouse to tone down the trend.
