Yahoo Lifestyle 12 pairs of wide-legged trousers to shop now and wear forever
We are firm believers in investing wisely in pieces that will not only be able to wear now, but forever. This means finding items in classic cuts that will never go out of style and building up your very own capsule wardrobe. And, when it comes to trousers, one of our favourite timeless fits is the wide-legged. Favoured by many of the world's most stylish women, from Hailey Bieber to Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Amal Clooney to the Duchess of Sussex, the wide-legged trouser is a great option to consider adding to your wardrobe.
Picking these more versatile pieces, those which can be styled in different ways, is a great approach for creating a hardworking wardrobe, filled with investment pieces that you'll turn to time and time again, rather than letting yourself give in to those one-hit outfit wonders.
However, as demonstrated by these stylish women time and time again, just because the wide-legged trouser is a forever piece doesn't mean it has to be boring, and you certainly don't have to stick to neutral colours. You can always experiment with brighter hues, timeless patterns and interesting silhouettes to mix things up if you want to have a bit more fun with the look, and don't be afraid to dress them up with bold accessories.
If you're looking to invest in this staple piece then we've rounded up our 12 favourite styles to shop below.
Loro Piana
The power of the beige wide-legged trouser should never be underestimated. Celebrities such as Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Hailey Bieber regularly wear the style, so take inspiration from their chic styling and team yours with a square-toed heel and an oversized blazer for a high-fashion look.
& Other Stories
A great pair of trousers can be found on the high street, if you know where to look. This wool-blend pair are the ideal workwear style, with a wide-leg fit and press creases which give a polished accent to any outfit. Pair with a matching waistcoat or white t-shirt and flats for a more laid-back style.
Ralph Lauren
Channel Riviera chic a la Amal Clooney and invest in a white pair of wide-legged trousers. Not only will the classic style be central to your summer holiday wardrobe, you can also wear them in the colder seasons too, with your favourite knit and go-to winter boots.
Acne Studios
Every wardrobe needs a pair of pinstripe trousers, and this double-waisted pair by Acne Studios offer something slightly different to your run-of-the-mill style. Wear with a white vest top to highlight the waist, or pair with an oversized shirt for a Scandi-chic approach.
Max Mara
Wardrobe staples don't always have to mean neutral colour palettes. We love this rosy blush pair from Max Mara, not only for its colourful hue, but because of its flattering pleats. This are the perfect party pair when you're not feeling a dress or skirt, team with a blazer and heels for instant elevation.
Frame
Leather trousers are super stylish in a wide-legged fit, and even better, they will last you a lifetime, so they can definitely be considered worth the investment. There are of course conflicting arguments as to whether shopping leather is sustainable, but keeping in mind the concept of forever shopping, the material is very durable so you will be able to wear them season after season.
Cos
Cos' muted brown offering makes for a good workwear wardrobe staple that makes a change from go-to black and grey hues. Team up with boots and a cosy jumper for autumn dressing, then swap out for sandals and a lightweight blouse for a breezy summer work look.
Totême
We love this pair of monogram wide-legged trousers from Totême. The luxe green shade will be sure to add a little bit of fun to your everyday ensembles, but in a wearable way.
Anine Bing
When we think of the wide-legged trouser, our minds immediately turn to the Duchess of Sussex, who regularly relies on the style, whether at a dressy event or something more casual. Take your cue from her and style your trusty black pair in a multitude of ways.
Marni
Not only are checks always in fashion, making this Marni pair a great buy – but the high-waisted fit will also create a flattering silhouette. Dress up with a black vest and barely-there heels or down with trainers and a simple white t-shirt for an off-duty look.
Stine Goya
The perfect style for working from home days, we are loving this wide leg satin style from Stine Goya which features an elasticated waistband for extra comfort. Dress these up with a heel and sleek turtleneck for in-office days, or team them with a vest come summer.
Issey Miyake
Mix things up with Issey Miyake's pleated minimalist trousers, which are Japanese-crafted. The lightweight feel makes them the perfect summer trouser, particularly for those that steer away from dresses and skirts during the warmer months.
