One of my favorite trends this spring/summer has been wide leg pants. For any of you skeptics out there, I know what you're thinking - how could that much extra material be flattering? Well I promise these voluminous trousers are cuter on than you may think. So put your skinny jeans to the side (come on, it's been over a decade!) and opt for a wide leg pant. Just trust me! They're very Katharine Hepburn, effortlessly chic! And not to mention, very comfortable! (it's like you're wearing pajamas!). There are so many fun styles out there but my first recommendation is to just try on a bunch until you find the perfect fit for you. I personally like the higher waist because I think they're the most slimming. In fact, my one rule would be you need to show off your waist in these pants, don't cover it up. So try tucking in your shirt or styling with a crop top, either one that shows a sliver of skin or hits right at the waist, like this matching printed top I found at Zara. Maybe it's because these pictures were taken on a surprise trip my husband planned for our anniversary with a night stay at the gorgeous Chanler at Cliff Walk in Newport, RI, but for some reason whenever I where this outfit I can't help but feel a little old hollywood glam!
Shoe tip: Opt for a chunky platform, block heel or wedges with your wide leg pants for a modern look that elongates your legs.
