The 16 Best Wide-Leg Jeans for Women in 2022
As the skinny jeans debate between Millennials and Gen Z continues, we’re chiming in—not to take sides, but to sing the praises of one of our favorite denim varieties: the wide-leg jean. Yes, a wide-cut pant is inherently comfy—a foolproof way to slip back into denim post-pandemic—but they’re also a great pairing for your back-to-work blazers, boots, and form-fitting tops. Not sure where to begin? Look no further than these wide-leg styles ahead.
