Welcome Wide Legs!
After a style has been around for a few years it is often time for a change. Super straight leg skinny pants: don’t know about you, but I am welcoming alternatives, especially for work. Have been hunting for high waisted, wide leg black trousers and recently found these at Ann Taylor. They are cropped so will be a different length on you depending on your height – hitting at the ankle bone seemed to be a good length on me that fully shows off the chic wide leg. If you are taller they will hit above your ankle which also would look cute.
What I love about the high waist of these particular pants is that the waist is not too tight – plenty of room to tuck in a top, which you will always do with this style. Comfortable and flattering too.
With a wide leg choose a shoe that balances and ‘grounds’ the volume; avoid a skinny heel or a shoe that’s too delicate – a boot, a bootie with a high chunky heel, or a wedge looks best…these Chanel booties are perfect! (Hooray Revolve!!!)
If you are going to need a jacket, choose a cropped one that doesn’t hide the high waist…this black leather by Elie Tahari has been in my closet for years!
A simple, classic style is timeless. The silk shirt is another oldie but goodie, Equipment is the brand… I added the floppy bow. 😉
A red scarf for a pop of color before I hit the road…
Trying to ditch the hats but it was so darn cold last week I had to pop on my beret!
So – what do you think? Will you try wide legs???

The shoes are amazing!!
The length you’ve chosen for those pants is perfect. It shows off your booties, and keeps the pants from dragging on the ground, which is NOT a good look! High waisted pants are great for those who have a long torso, not so much for those of us who don’t.
