It’s that time of the year again—the days are long and hot and we’ve grown tired of our usual lineup of lightweight dresses and skirts. But—with temperatures regularly reaching into the 90s here in New York, we can’t bear the thought of slipping into a pair of skinny jeans, so instead we’re reaching for roomier wide leg styles.
Wide leg jeans and trousers are the perfect alternative to dresses and skirts for hot summer days, they’re breezier than other denim styles and depending on how they’re styled, look just as polished. Still unsure about how to wear them? Keep scrolling for four of our favorite ways and shop the post to add a pair to your own summertime wardrobe.
1. Keep it Tonal
It’s almost too hot to think straight here in New York, which is why we recommend sticking to one color for your look. We’re always a fan of navy and black but for an ultra summery look, try different tones of ivory, white, and taupe.

2. Wear a White Tee with Wide Leg Pants
A crisp white tee tucked in or perfectly cropped at the waist looks summery and fresh. For a more adventurous version of this look, make it creamy dreamy with white wide leg pants!

3. Go the Classic Route with a Blue Shirt
For a more classic summer look, pair your wide leg jeans or pants with a pale blue shirt or blouse. Brown or black shoes and accessories complete this sophisticated outfit.

4. Oversized White Shirt + Wide Leg Trousers or Denim
For a more avant garde, edgy look top a pair of distressed wide leg jeans with a white tunic or oversized white blouse. Make sure to leave it untucked a la Phoebe Philo’s Céline.
