Trousers are stretching their legs… literally!

By Melissa Fros


Remember when skinny jeans were basically a second skin? Well, fashion decided it was time to breathe. Wide trousers have been back now for a while on the runway, the streets, and even in our day-to-day coffee runs.

From relaxed tailoring to oversized denim, wide legs are giving us all the space we didn’t know we needed. Plus, they’re surprisingly flattering (and yes, you can actually sit down without worrying about circulation).

Think of them as the cool cousin of your classic trousers: polished enough for work, breezy enough for weekend plans, and bold enough to make you feel like you own the pavement.

Style tip? Balance is your BFF. If the legs go wide, keep the top structured or tucked in to let those trousers do the talking.

So, are we saying goodbye to skinnies forever? Not exactly. But let’s just say, for now, it’s a wide-legged love affair.
