Wide-Legged Trousers

Gap Wide-Legged Trousers

Gap.com

Wear your wide-legged trousers a little looser to keep a smooth line from the hips to the toes! A navy blue pair has a slightly nautical flair, but they're not just for the seaside. Pair yours with a lightweight knit cardigan for the office, or a floaty top with kimono sleeves for the weekend. Gap carries them up to size 16 and in tall lengths, too. Buy it Here

More Tips and Tricks

  • Don't Forget Jewelry: Add extra summery appeal to your trendy trousers by accessorizing with the hottest jewelry of the season. Wear lots of silver and gold, or try southwestern style jewelry in tan and warm red.

  • Add an Inch: Look taller by avoiding cropped and cuffed trousers. Keep this in mind if you have a more petite build.

  • Forgo the Skinny Jean: Try wide-legged jeans as well. Minimize your rear by choosing a pair with proportioned back pockets and a medium rise.
