27 Wide-Leg Jeans For Some Breathing Room (Flared & Baggy Styles Included)

Trends come and go, and they open up opportunities to experiment with our personal styles, but we always know which silhouettes complement our body shapes best and make us feel confident. And wide-leg jeans certainly make me feel the most confident. I personally enjoy a high-waisted and cropped wide-leg style that enhances my curves and gives my legs breathing room. But there are so many other wide-leg jean options to choose between.

From slimmer flares and ankle cuts to wider baggy jeans and floor-grazing hems, there's plenty to experiment with. We've compiled some of the best jeans with wide-leg bottoms, separating them into three categories: classic wide-leg jeans, flared jeans, and baggy jeans. That way you can determine just how subtle or dramatic you want your wide-leg jeans to be.

At Refinery29, we’re here to help you navigate this overwhelming world of stuff. All of our market picks are independently selected and curated by the editorial team.

Flared Jeans


If a wide cut that starts at your hips feels a bit too dramatic for you, try a pair of flared bottoms that start to widen around the knee. This subtle style still makes a statement. Go for ripped knees or frayed hems for a vintage rockstar vibe or bold seams and vented ankles for an elevated, going-out look. Scroll on to see if flared jeans are the route to go down for your style journey.
